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…

Study Shows Rise in Clean-Energy Jobs Worldwide

A recent study has revealed that the total number of green-energy jobs in the world has increased by 18% from 2022 to 2023. Jointly released by the United Nations Labor Organization (ILO) and Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) in Abu Dhabi, the report found that China had the most significant increase in green-energy jobs compared to every other nation. According to the report, there were 16.2 million renewable-energy jobs in 2023, an 18% increase from 2022. Unsurprisingly, China accounted for nearly one-half of all renewable sector jobs at 7.4 million jobs, outpacing the entire European Union (EU) in both the manufacture…

Despite Facing Numerous Challenges, Geothermal Holds Promise in Energy Transition

Geothermal energy has the potential to provide plenty of reliable renewable energy, but providers will have to overcome several significant challenges. Solar and wind have emerged as the world's main clean-energy alternatives, and countries are investing tens of billions of dollars in developing these two energy sources. Despite being somewhat overlooked amids the focus on wind and solar, geothermal can also deliver clean and reliable energy. However, geothermal energy is often limited by geographical constraints and high costs, making it difficult for utilities to tap into the massive energy source. Solar and wind are intermittent in nature, but geothermal energy…

Easing Monetary Policy Alone May Not Sufficiently Boost Clean-Energy Investment

Experts warn that the Fed's decision to finally ease its monetary policy after several months of consecutive interest rate hikes may not be enough to offer a sufficient boost to clean-energy investment. The U.S. Federal Reserve began its easing cycle by cutting benchmark interest rates by 50 basis points last week, a move that was swiftly followed by central banks in Canada and several European nations. With countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and England, among many others, also easing their monetary policy, and some expected to speed up the pace, the inflationary environment triggered by the coronavirus pandemic is mostly…
