New Zealand could meet its electricity needs through renewables and avoid power shortages during dry years by combining battery systems with pumped hydro schemes.
Despite large pledges, Indonesia’s US$20 billion JETP has delivered little. Research shows funds are diverted to feasibility studies and donor interests rather than local green energy projects.
This conflict exposes the fragility of the global fossil fuel economy and how renewables create resilience.
A just transition to a green economy with broad growth in employment will require deliberate efforts.
Oil isn’t a normal commodity – it shapes politics around the world.
Unlike wind and solar which are weather-dependent sources of renewable energy, geothermal heat can produce energy steadily, day and night, all year round.
It wasn’t so long ago pundits claimed Australia’s grid couldn’t run on higher than 20% renewables. Now it’s 50%.
South Africa needs a renewable energy industrial strategy, not just requirements for green power projects to buy a percentage of solar parts from local companies.
To be inclusive and impactful, energy transition policies need to be co-created with the communities and workers who run Canada’s energy industries.
Coal mines are notorious sources of acid mine drainage, but the orange sludge that threatens water supplies and wildlife also contains valuable rare earth elements.
Offshore wind contracts are ready – but ships, ports and cables are not.
While wind and solar energy led in investments globally, liquefied natural gas is also booming. A former climate envoy for Germany explains what’s coming and the countries to watch.
A ‘bidirectional charging’ EV trial is under way that, in years to come, could help solve the UK’s energy conundrum.
If Australia hits 82% renewables by the end of the decade, wholesale power should be a third cheaper.
There’s huge potential in transforming brownfield land from environmental liability and eyesore into local renewable energy generators.
Changes to the Cheaper Home Batteries Program are a step in the right direction, but more are needed to make it fair.
Early warnings about the Cheaper Home Batteries Program have come true. But there are ways to fix it.
Wastewater heat recovery, which recycles hot water from drains to preheat new water, could cut coal use, lower carbon emissions, and create local jobs in Zambia.
Australia’s renewable boom has created a new bottleneck: grid access. As new transmission line costs blow out amid protests, we need to optimise the build.
