Report Calls Out Europe for Using African Renewable Energy for Greenwashing

Greenpeace is calling out European nations for using renewable energy produced in Africa to ‘greenwash’ their economies. The Greenpeace report says that European-backed green energy projects in North Africa limit the region’s ability to decarbonize, keep it dependent on fossil fuel imports and force it to shoulder the environmental costs involved with burning fossil fuels. Egypt and Morocco recently partnered with several European nations in a deal that would see the North African nations supply wind and solar energy to Europe over the next decade. The two countries are angling to position themselves as a key supplier to Europe as…

The Energy Industry is Growing Doubtful of the Attainability of Net Zero Targets

A recent report shows that the confidence of the energy industry regarding the attainment of existing net-zero targets is fading. This comes as financial uncertainty, policy instability, and slow approvals for energy projects hinder the pace at which clean energy projects are started and completed. The report was authored by the Energy Industries Council, the largest global association bringing together firms that supply services and goods to energy industries around the world. The 950-member nonprofit organization is a good place to get insights about the direction of the renewable energy movement. The findings of this recent report are based on…

5 Common Misconceptions About Renewable Energy

Renewable energy generally refers to types of energy that don’t rely on finite (and often polluting) sources. Also called green or clean energy, renewables will be critical to weaning the world off of fossil fuels, cutting global emissions, and achieving carbon neutrality. Unfortunately, with the race to replace fossil fuels with renewables heating up, there have been a worrying number of misconceptions about green energy. Wind turbines kill whales is a popular misconception that’s often accompanied by artificial intelligence (AI) generated images of dead whales near turbines. However, the reality is that offshore wind turbines have zero effect on whales.…

IEA Says Renewables are Positioned to Cover Electricity Demand Growth Until 2027

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has revealed that renewables are poised to cover the impending rise in worldwide electricity demand for the next three years. According to a recent IEA forecast, renewables like solar and wind will cover a whopping 95% of the globe’s increased energy demand until 2028. Electrification across several industries coupled with the increased demand for cloud and artificial intelligence services will be largely responsible for the surge in global demand for electricity. The agency’s annual report, titled Electricity 2025, noted that the growth of energy-intensive sectors will accelerate the world’s increasing energy demands. Electrification coupled with…

How Wind Turbines Can Provide Clean Energy for Data Centers

With energy demand within the data center segment surging to historic highs thanks to the proliferation of cloud and artificial intelligence services, the increasingly power-hungry industry could tap into wind energy to fulfill its power demands. Large players in the cloud services and AI sectors typically consume enough energy to rival entire nations, resulting in significant data-center-related emissions. Green energy from wind turbines could help players in the data center segment reduce their carbon footprints substantially and even lower their energy costs. Data centers have been around for quite a long time, but their energy consumption has seen a notable…

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…
