Africa Lags as Renewables Surge Around the World

Africa risks being left behind as the rest of the world transitions from fossil fuels to renewables, experts say. Data shows that although the global capacity for green energy expanded at a record pace and added a whopping 500GW of new capacity last year, just 1.6% of this growth occurred in Africa. Energy experts warn that the energy divide between the continent and other regions could expand if no action is taken. Speaking in Abu Dhabi at the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (Irena) 15th annual meeting, Director General Francesco La Camera said that global green energy capacity has to reach…

Why US Tariffs May Not Dent China’s Renewable Energy Technology

However, compared to other exporting sectors in the country, China’s massive green energy industry is much less vulnerable to U.S. tariffs. Beijing has surpassed Washington in the renewable energy space by an incredibly wide margin and may even be able to thrive in a future…

The EU is Relying on Education to Promote its Green Deal

With the European Union investing significantly in renewable energy technologies and green infrastructure, the regional bloc is relying on education to promote the EU Green Deal among Europeans. The human element will be key to accelerating the EU’s transition from fossil fuels to renewables, particularly in terms of specialized labor. Many EU nations have hundreds of millions to billions of dollars’ worth of green energy investments set aside, but have been held back by human resource shortages in key green energy-related fields. Furthermore, the ultimate success of the EU Green Deal will be dependent on EU citizens understanding and adopting…

The global transition to green energy is creating new opportunities and markets for copper cable manufacturers and a growing number of investors. Although copper cables will play a critical role in the green transition, they don't get as much attention as some of the other equally crucial ‘green metals’ that will be integral to the transition. However, some savvy investors have noted the red metal's potential, particularly as conductors in renewable energy infrastructure, and began investing accordingly. Broadly speaking, the transition to renewable energy will involve two different elements; generating clean energy and transmitting this energy to households and businesses.…
