As incentives expire, national policy falters, and provinces experiment with their own decentralized strategies, Argentina’s energy transition faces one of its greatest challenges with the looming expiration of Law 27.191. In the meantime, local initiatives are stepping in to confront the national uncertainty.

As new nuclear plants take off in South Africa, and an old one is being stretched to life, farmers dread that high-level, radioactive nuclear waste will be buried on their land in a Nevada-like remote district.

Talks of the FTA stalled in the past over disagreements regarding palm oil and Indonesia’s export ban on raw nickel. In previous discussions, growing concern over deforestation and environmental degradation linked to palm oil has significantly strained relations between the two powers.

Thailand’s air pollution problem is complex, stemming from multiple sources: exhaust from vehicles, emissions from coal-fired power plants, industrial waste, and smoke from agricultural burning. Recent Air Quality Life Index analysis suggests air pollution cuts the average Thai’s life expectancy by more than two years, while data cited by the National Economic and Social Development Council indicate that in 2024, 12.3 million Thais suffered pollution-related illnesses annuall

As Southeast Asia’s energy demand is projected to more than double by 2050, the region faces a critical choice: build bigger, faster, and cheaper, or build smarter, fairer, and greener. The ASEAN Power Grid (APG) is a key cornerstone of this transition. It promises technical and economic gains for the region, serving as Southeast Asia's strategy for greater regional integration, energy security, economic growth, and achieving a sustainable, low-carbon future. 

Artificial intelligence is surging into every corner of modern life, and data centres are emerging as the backbone of this transformation. But as governments and corporations race to build this infrastructure, requiring vast amounts of electricity, water, land, and critical minerals, the key question becomes: where, and how, should it be built? 

As decarbonization becomes a global catchphrase, Zimbabwe has become a vital supplier of critical lithium ore and several platinum group metals that are key to the green transition. According to the Supply Chain Intelligence for the Energy Intelligence, Zimbabwe is the fourth largest producer of lithium mined globally.  But in Magunje, western Zimbabwe, the remnants of indigenous Zimbabweans displaced by colonial dams' construction 100 years ago are enduring a new wave of fo

On paper, Africa is poised to become a key supplier of green hydrogen, and the EU wants in on the continent's repository of this decarbonization fuel early. Of the 52 countries across Africa, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, and Namibia have moved fast to organize themselves into a grouping called the Africa Green Hydrogen Alliance. 

Without a unified approach under the ISA, deep-sea mining risks becoming an unregulated venture, threatening a fragile ecosystem, and releasing stored carbon. The unknown environmental impacts of deep-sea mining require a multilateral approach.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and the barrage of rocket attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have forced the country to rebuild what's been destroyed while reimagining its energy future at the same time. The destruction of over a quarter of Ukraine's power generation has upped the demand for clean, renewable energy systems, decentralized energy generation, and smarter, more resilient grids. The nation's push for a just energy transition has become a defining narrative

Rather, such approaches are more about providing regions, especially those heavily dependent on oil and petroleum exports, with pragmatic pathways to a clean energy transition and a bridge between legacy infrastructure and next-generation clean-tech value chains.  

From 2018 to 2023, South Africa endured a debilitating energy crisis as rolling blackouts paralysed the nation. This catastrophe stemmed from the premature decommissioning of coal plants without adequate replacement capacity. While South Africa struggled, China and India—two of the world's top coal consumers—expanded their coal infrastructure with less scrutiny, revealing a global inequity in climate policy.
