Universal energy access is not just a development goal. It’s a fundamental requirement for socio-economic growth and improved quality of life. Despite global efforts, millions of people, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, still lack access to electricity and clean cooking solutions. The World Energy Outlook 2024 examines these challenges and explores pathways to […]
Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power are growing at a rapid pace. Naturally, the transition is also driving significant transformation for the global energy landscape. In 2024, global renewable energy capacity is expected to increase by almost 20 percent, building on the record growth of 60 percent seen in 2023. While this […]
The global transition to renewable energy is no longer limited to the rapid deployment of solar and wind power. As the world advances toward a low-carbon future, renewable fuels such as bioenergy, hydrogen, and e-fuels are also playing a critical role in decarbonising sectors that are harder to electrify, such as transport, industry, and heating. […]
The transition to renewable energy is not just a technological shift; it’s a complex interplay of policies, market dynamics, and societal acceptance. As the world grapples with climate change, energy security, and economic resilience, governments are increasingly recognizing the need to enhance their renewable energy strategies. This blog outlines key policy trends driving renewable energy […]
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) have solved a key challenge for renewable energy, addressing the fluctuating nature of sources like solar and wind. Globally, new solar and wind projects are now integrating modern energy storage systems to ensure a reliable energy supply. Countries like China, the US, and Australia are rapidly expanding their energy storage […]
