Is the EU's Green Hydrogen Drive in Africa another Exploitative Pipe Dream?
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.


From Labs to Leaders: Innovation Hubs are Reshaping U.S. Battery Manufacturing
Battery innovation centers and accelerators offer a powerful blueprint for America to build leadership in the evolving global energy market. By blending research, manufacturing, and workforce development under one roof, they help transform bright ideas into scalable, sustainable solutions. If the nation continues to invest in these hubs — and ensures their lessons spread nationwide — the U.S. can build a battery ecosystem that is not only competitive but resilient.


The Gulf's Energy Transition- 2025 Review: Part 3
Sulfur is traditionally viewed as a low-value byproduct of oil refining and is largely stockpiled or exported for fertilizer production. However, this element is increasingly being considered as a key enabler for next-generation batteries. With some of the world's largest sulfur reserves and production volumes, the Gulf is uniquely positioned to turn this underutilized resource into a strategic advantage.

Policy Brief: China's Deep Sea Scramble for Critical Minerals
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.


Will New Financing Models Boost Africa's Renewable Energy?
With innovative financing for clean energy like the Ilute solar project, the future looks bright for the expansion of solar energy in Zambia. However, it remains to be seen whether such a financing structure will be replicated in other African countries. Only time will tell.


South Africa's Push for Renewable Energy Import Tariffs Unites Labor, Employers, and Lobbyists
Though South Africa's switch to renewable energy sources is the most advanced across sub-Saharan Africa in terms of grid expansion, power generation, and job creation, the country doesn't yet have a significant domestic industry that can meet the advancing needs for renewable energy, argues Tapiwa O'Brien Nhachi, consultant at the regional Institute Law and Development, and critic of how climate carbon credits mechanism in Africa.
