Unlocking Africa's Biogas Potential
Despite challenges, biogas has the potential to make a significant impact in Africa. It can be produced on a small scale for household use or on a larger scale for industrial applications. Biogas can provide energy for cooking, lighting, heating, electricity generation, and fertilizer production for agricultural purposes. In fact, researchers are even exploring ways to use biogas systems to produce animal feed.


Absent Policy, Uncertain Future: The Decline of Argentina's Clean Energy Law
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.


South Africa's Farmers Riled as Nuclear Waste Heads Their Way
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.


Indonesia- EU Free Trade Agreement: From Palm Oil to Nickel
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.


In Africa, Solar Energy is Booming
The rise in solar panel imports is a continent-wide phenomenon, with 20 countries setting new records in the 12 months to June 2025. Twenty-five countries imported at least 100 MW, up from 15 countries the previous year. If installed, the solar panels imported into Sierra Leone over the last 12 months would generate electricity equivalent to 61 percent of the country's total reported electricity generation in 2023.


Thailand's Clean Air Movement: A Breath of the Future
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


Shifting Gears: Africa's EV Market Revs up for Rapid Expansion
It is not uncommon to hear motor mechanics in Zimbabwe saying, "I don't do hybrids or electric cars." This means that they do not repair hybrid cars or electric vehicles. Finding spares or servicing a hybrid or electric vehicle in the country remains one of the biggest challenges. However, many people in Zimbabwe are now slowly embracing hybrid cars, particularly small compact vehicles like the Toyota Aqua, Toyota Prius, and Honda Fit, as well as subcompact crossover SUVs lik


Chile's Bet on Green Hydrogen
With the ambitious goal of becoming a world leader in green hydrogen and the renewable resources to achieve it, Chile's push for green hydrogen is poised for growth in the coming decade. Policies in The National Green Hydrogen Strategy and the Green Hydrogen Action Plan demonstrate the country's commitment to a reduction in green hydrogen cost as they aim to make it the cheapest in the world.


India's Solar Surge
India is building up its domestic solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing. With supportive policies, rising domestic demand, and a global push to diversify renewable energy supply chains away from dependence on China, India is working towards solar manufacturing autonomy.


In Climate-Stressed Malawi, Chinese Battery Energy Storage Kits Protect Households
The worst climate drought in 50 years hammered the entire southern Africa region of countries Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe throughout 2024. The heat dried up crucial riverways and dams that complement thermal coal power stations to produce electricity for millions of homes, factories, and schools.
But in good and bad times, Malawi, like most African nations, faces a series of dilemmas. It doesn't matter much whether they produce lots of clean solar,


EV-Wheelers fill Gaps in Uber-less Rural Tanzania
Shoza and a dozen women in her drivers' club work from Kagera Centre in Kagera, which is one of Tanzania's poorest rural administrative regions. They drive around, operating Chinese-made but locally improvised EV three-wheelers that transport everything from packets of noodles to pregnant mothers and medicines across rural Tanzania.


Thailand's EV Revolution
Electric vehicles (EVs) offer more than just a sleek, modern ride as they begin to replace traditional combustion engines on Thailand’s roads. This shift signals a powerful response to the country’s air pollution crisis, a bold step toward lowering carbon emissions, while encouraging technological innovation across Southeast Asia. From electric tuk-tuks weaving through traffic-choked alleys to cutting-edge factories churning out battery-powered exports, Thailand's embrace of
