When it comes to dependency on coal power plants, South Africa is in a class of its own: 85% of its electricity is produced in coal power plants.
Natural gas projects in Africa might help reduce supply shortages temporarily, but they could soon become stranded assets.
To get to 82% renewables by decade’s end means storage - and that’s where we hope our new atlas of sites for pumped hydro storage can help
Australia is no longer an international laggard when it comes to addressing the problem of carbon emissions, but its is loping along in the middle of a slow-moving pack.
A managed fossil fuel phasing-out offers a chance for producers – including governments, corporations and unions – to negotiate the terms of a ‘just transition’ to renewable energy.
A key issue for African countries is: how to contribute towards averting a climate disaster without compromising economic growth and development.
Experts say greater use of renewable energy via solar photovoltaic and hydro power is the best route to universal access to electricity in Togo.
People struggling to pay their power bills may never have anticipated experiencing such hardship. It’s time to tackle energy equity head-on.
Dealing with the crisis, driven by the Ukraine war, is now Labor’s problem, and that gave Dutton something substantial to latch onto.
Energy bills are set to rise - and rise again. The government’s efforts so far have done very little. Time for a stronger approach.
The budget earmarked worthwhile climate measures, but many are piecemeal. Amid record-breaking extreme weather in Australia, federal spending on climate action still falls well short.
Australia must map out the best sites for generating the most electricity with the least environmental impact.
The world’s solar panels rely on technology pioneered in Australia. Now our researchers are working on ultra-low-cost, high efficiency solar cells.
Subsidies are often a policy go-to for governments wanting to encourage more climate-friendly behaviours. But they should be used with caution.
Victoria’s new renewable plan is welcome - but it relies on building unsexy and challenging new transmission lines across the state.
Roundtable discussions with leaders from major energy companies reveal a lack of pressure from regulators or investors and a strong belief that fossil fuel use will continue for years to come.
Nestled among farmland, solar farms can be a refuge for wildlife.
The transition to net zero will require huge investments, but how do we make sure investment goes to the right place?
One of the world’s largest solar farms was meant to lift poor communities up. But instead it produced winners and losers.
