How Policy-Related Hindrances to Energy Sector Growth Can Be Addressed

Growth in the global energy industry is often stalled by regional and international policy-related hindrances. A poll of over a thousand industry professionals surprisingly found that policy can become a significant barrier to growth in the energy sector when it involves unrealistic energy transition and climate targets. Green energy policy development should always involve communities and industry to ensure everyone who is affected by the green transition is on board. Furthermore, lawmakers should ensure policy development deals with domestic and international issues. Alongside investment from the private and public sectors, the right kind of policies will be critical to facilitating…

North Sea Countries Determined to Make the Region a Clean Energy Hub

Energy ministers from the 9 nations dubbed the North Seas countries have reaffirmed their commitment to transforming the region into Europe's renewable energy hub. Speaking at the just-concluded North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC) ministerial meeting held in Odense, Denmark, the Energy Ministers gave the new Europe Commission recommendations on how it can support this goal. The recommendations particularly focused on the need to bolster the continent’s supply chain for wind energy. Despite Europe's significant potential for offshore wind energy, most of its green energy capacity is generated from solar farms. The energy ministers also discussed the need to create new…

IEA Warns That Geopolitical Tensions Threaten Energy Security

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says rising geopolitical tensions are threatening global energy security and emphasizing the need for a speedy transition to clean energy. Economic and military tensions surging across many regions of the world have exposed major weaknesses in the world's energy system and created significant risks for climate action and energy security. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol says geopolitical tensions could affect green energy supplies and the prospect of surpluses through the second half of the 2020s. Excess supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG), oil, and clean energies such as solar panels and batteries is projected to…

WEF Says Unified Action is Vital to Europe’s Attainment of the Energy Transition

Unified action by the public and private sectors will be critical to Europe’s green energy transition, the World Economic Forum (WEF) says. Aside from investment into expanding Europe's clean energy capacity, European nations will also have to upgrade the majority of their grids to ensure the transition isn't hampered by bottlenecks and happens on track. However, upgrading the region's electrical grid will require over $636 billion in investment through the decade, more than the public sector can handle alone. As such, the private sector’s involvement will be key to ensuring Europe's electrical grid can support the mass transition to renewables.…

IEA Foresees China’s Clean-Energy Boom Accounting for 60% of Upcoming Projects

The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that China's green-energy boom will account for a whopping 60% of the world's upcoming renewable-energy projects for the next six years. China has all but monopolized the global photovoltaic solar supply chain and is poised to lead the worldwide rollout of green energy via its vast solar capacity, the IEA says. Between now and 2030, the second-largest economy on the globe will make up more than one-half of all installed green-energy capacity, the IEA’s green energy report says. The paper found that the rollout of green energy projects will triple over the next six…

North Africa Set to Meet Europe’s Clean-Energy Needs

North Africa has the potential to supply up to 24 GW of renewable energy to Europe, more than enough to meet the continent's green-energy needs and put the region on track to achieving its climate-change goals. The mostly desert region could potentially generate vast amounts of wind and solar energy and transport it to Europe via undersea connections as nations such as Morocco bring major green-energy projects online. These projects are poised to boost the North African region's green-energy capacity significantly while enhancing Europe's and North America's interconnection. The desert region is sparsely populated and currently lies fallow, unable to…
