China Dials Back its Support to Clean Energy Projects as Targets Are Attained Sooner

Beijing will begin rolling back renewable energy project subsidies shortly after it achieved its 2030 renewables targets sooner than expected. The East Asian nation’s total installed capacity for solar has reached 887GW, a whopping 6 times larger than North America’s installed solar capacity, the International Renewable Energy Agency says. A recent Reuters report said the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is partnering with China’s energy administration to begin rolling back subsidies meant to support the installation of domestic solar energy projects. The move comes a few months after China recorded a historic surge in solar energy installations that helped…

Plummeting Costs are Fueling the Green Energy Transition in the US

Falling energy costs are accelerating America’s transition from fossil fuels to renewables. The green transition in the U.S. is gaining increasing momentum amidst plummeting prices, particularly in the solar energy segment, and bringing the country closer to eliminating coal, oil, and other polluting fossil fuels from its energy mix. Solar energy costs have plummeted by more than 99% over the past two decades, making it the most dominant renewable form of energy in the U.S. and other major markets. Although natural gas and renewables have trended upwards at the expense of coal for years now, the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act…

Could China’s Renewable Energy Surge Wean it Off Coal Dependence?

China has made remarkable advancements in green energy over the past couple of decades that have made it a world leader in green energy. With the country already reaching its 2030 energy targets half a decade ahead of schedule, China's green energy surge may help the country taper its massive appetite for coal. The East Asian nation manufactures a significant portion of all the world's solar panels and wind turbines, making it an integral player in the global green energy infrastructure supply chain. China has also monopolized the global supply chain for electric vehicles, EV batteries, and the critical minerals…

The World Could Learn Vital Lessons from India’s Green Energy Push

India’s efforts to incorporate green energy into its energy mix hold several vital lessons for the rest of the world. Despite its reliance on fossil fuels, the Asian nation has taken several notable steps to increase its capacity for green energy, provide affordable green energy, and ensure energy equity. The Global South particularly stands to benefit the most from copying key aspects of India’s green energy strategy as most of the 675 million people who don’t have access to basic electricity live in these nations. Emerging economies typically have the least access to green energy financing, preventing them from developing…

UK Communities Up in Arms Against “Monstrous” Pylons, Solar Energy “Wastelands”

A growing number of UK residents are protesting against the installations of ‘monstrous’ pylons in their communities. The country’s ongoing transition from fossil fuels to renewables has left a growing number of massive metal structures in its wake and drawn the ire of the communities forced to live with these structures. Eileen West from Aberdeenshire is part of “Deeside against Pylons,” a local campaign against the invasive structures meant to support the transition to solar energy. A recent proposal seeks to place a massive new pylon line 187 feet (57m) a couple hundred meters from her house. Even though this…

The EU Hails Plan to Build a Hydrogen Pipeline from North Africa to Europe

The European Union (EU) is backing a plan to build a hydrogen pipeline from North Africa to nations in the EU. The subsea pipeline would transport green hydrogen from Tunisia and Algeria to Germany, Italy, and Austria by the end of the decade, but many experts are apprehensive about the plan's feasibility. Ministers from Tunisia, Algeria, Italy, Austria, and Germany recently had a meeting in Rome to confirm their home countries’ intentions to build a 2,174 to 2,485 kilometers pipeline beneath the Mediterranean Sea. The plan is to connect hydrogen production facilities in Tunisia and Algeria with consumer hubs in…
