We’re back with our report on EV sales in Latin America! There are some novelties, but, contrary to my expectations, the distance between the laggards and the leaders is actually increasing: this means that the first part of the report will be full of bad (or, at best, “meh”) news, … [continued]
Mimicking renewable policies is the highest form of flattery While not traditionally held up as a pinnacle of renewable energy development, Chile has quietly become a leader in South America for developing environmental policy and attracting renewable investment. With the amount of solar and wind energy eclipsing coal for the … [continued]
Announces new partnerships on energy decarbonization modeling, investment mobilization, and battery energy storage systems and launches next cohort of Climate Smart Women Energy Leaders DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — During the 28th Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the United States and Net Zero … [continued]
Time flies. The first half of 2023 has already been over for a while, and the EV transition is accelerating, so we’re bringing news from a region often forgotten when speaking about electric vehicles: Latin America. We will divide this series of articles into three parts: the laggards, the middle … [continued]
Australian miners are global companies that are leading the search for critical minerals and materials to enable the green industrial revolution. At a local level, Queensland is encouraging miners to prepare for the time when coal is no longer their main product. But there is also a lot of movement … [continued]
Long distances, oilfields, and low salaries abound south of the Rio Bravo. If you ask me, it’s mainly these three conditions that have marked Latin America as one of the laggards in the EV transition. Alas, all bad times should come to an end, and recent developments in the region … [continued]
Argentina’s clean energy potential is obvious, but the infrastructure roadblocks are delaying renewable growth. Despite having vast tracts of usable land for PV and wind farms, only 7% of Argentina’s power generation comes from wind, and only 1% from solar. A report by the New Climate Institute found that one … [continued]
While many of the most exciting clean energy stories feature new technology, massive solar and wind farms, or major legislation, work like the Renewable Energies in Rural Markets Project (PERMER) provides clean energy transitions in communities that may not otherwise see the benefits. This project also seeks to promote economic … [continued]
The largest solar project in South America is situated at over 13,000 feet above sea level in the far north of Argentina. In 2019, this project was inaugurated with over 1,000,000 solar panels generating power for 160,000 homes. At its onset, the project consisted of three individual PV fields, the … [continued]
