International partners to launch an initiative to tap into Africa’s vast renewable energy potential

Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), The African Climate Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the ClimateWorks Foundation, and the Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association (CREIA) will launch a new collaborative initiative – green manufacturing initiative to drive large-scale renewable energy manufacturing capabilities and investment in Africa.

Energy Storage Is The Backbone Of The Renewable Revolution

Renewables are exploding. Countries around the world are adding clean energy production capacity at a breakneck pace in a race against the clock to shore up energy security and beat climate change. While environmentalists and economists alike have been warning for decades that the future of the energy industry – and, indeed, the global economy – lies in renewable energies and not fossil fuels, industry and policy leaders have been slow to adapt. Until now. 

Renewable Investments Could Outstrip Upstream Oil And Gas In 2022

High spot electricity prices, particularly in Europe, are changing the utility wind and solar investment narrative as potential payback periods of under a year could start a race to develop renewable assets purely based on project economics, Rystad Energy research shows. Capital investments in renewables have also increased significantly and are set to reach $494 billion in 2022, outstripping upstream oil and gas at $446 billion for the year, according to Rystad Energy research. This is the first time that investment in renewables is set to be higher than for oil and gas.
