The Difference Between Renewable And Non-renewable Sources of Energy
Renewable energy sources are gaining momentum in the global energy landscape and are expected to make up most of the new energy additions in the coming decades. Understanding how renewables differ from non-renewables is crucial to understanding this necessary transition.
Climate Change Litigation in Australia: Companies Could Get Three-year Pass
Climate change litigation has taken centre stage again in Australia. The country's Treasury is considering a new proposal limiting climate-related litigation against companies for three years. However, is this the best way forward? The country remains one of the worst polluters on the planet.
Disadvantages of Non-renewable Energy Sources: A Global Challenge
The vast majority of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels. However, these non-renewable energy sources have disadvantages, ranging from economic volatility to direct environmental impacts. Renewables are an alternative that can overcome many of these challenges.
LNG’s Carbon Quandary is a Call for Reassessment in the Energy Transition [Op-Ed]
At COP28, the pivotal language to steer away from fossil fuels and achieve net zero by 2050 is a historic step on the right path. However, the communique also features a step backwards in acknowledging a role for transitional fuels in facilitating the energy transition and ensuring energy security. This calls for a reassessment of public and private sector policies to align with global net-zero objectives.
Top Wind Energy Companies in India 2024
India is aiming to triple its wind energy capacity by 2030. This will require significant growth within the wind sector and supportive government policies. The sector is on track to grow at an 8% compound annual growth rate over the next decade.
Southeast Asia’s Renewable Energy Potential and Growth Challenges – Podcast
Energy Insights speakers with Janna Smith, a researcher at Global Energy Monitor (GEM) about Southeast Asia's renewable energy potential.
Top Renewable Energy Companies in the USA Leading the Green Revolution
Renewable energy has grown significantly over the last decade in the US, and predictions show this trend will speed up in the coming years. As a result, major renewable energy companies have spread across the US energy sector.
Asian Countries Take Advantage of Floating Solar Power Plant
Land acquisition has often become a problem for renewable energy developers in Asian countries. Due to a huge population and growing energy needs, renewable energy acceleration plans have faced the need for land for housing and food availability. Therefore, Indonesia built floating solar power plants (PLTS) to overcome this issue.
Future of Renewable Energy in the World: Massive Growth Expected
IEA notes that almost all new clean energy capacity added in 2023 had lower generation costs than new coal and gas plants, and 75% of new solar and wind plants offered cheaper power than existing fossil fuel facilities.
Indonesia Energy Transition Outlook 2024: In Light of the JETP
Whoever holds power after Indonesia’s February elections has a chance to alter the country's future. Projects, like increased coal and gas capacity and expensive, untested technologies, should remain on paper, while solar and wind must become the priority.
Azerbaijan to Host COP29 in 2024: What to Expect
The initial signs are that COP29 might be yet another conference where fossil fuel producers act in concert to stall global progress. However, Azerbaijan has the unique opportunity to do what no previous conference host has: increase financing for the most vulnerable ones to the needed levels, accelerate the phaseout of coal and urge for more ambitious emissions reduction targets.
Renewable Energy Growth and Plunging Costs Make the COP28 Target Possible
While the world remains off track in reducing fossil fuel emissions and limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C, the momentum behind renewable energy technologies is aiding the shift towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy system.
How COP28 Failed to Deliver on the Climate Crisis
Despite all the efforts to paint COP28's final text as a success, the result of the conference is a vague and non-binding agreement allowing the fossil fuel lobby to continue doing business as usual. All that while frontline communities stand at risk due to the climate crisis.
