Kenya’s grid is very green thanks to some awesome geothermal, wind, utility scale solar, and hydropower plants. Kenya is one of the best places to drive EVs. All of these clean renewables are responsible for about 90% of the electricity generated in Kenya.

New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock.

India is planning to almost double the length of its gas transmission grid, while China will grow its gas network about 60% by 2025. We envision a future where clean hydrogen produced in Southern Italy or North Africa can be transported through our pipelines to serve Central and Northern European needs. Source: BloombergNEF.

The long-term goal of the joint venture is the climate-friendly production of electricity in the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. To achieve this goal we’re supporting the development of solar- and wind-driven power plants. Photovoltaic panels on its roofs actively feed green electricity into the German grid.

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. IEEE Spectrum did its best to cover those developments, and these were the stories that our readers liked best.

However, the raw materials for batteries are, in most cases, imported into China from Africa and refined before being exported to Europe. Automakers in Europe can lower their emissions by shortening the transport distance and capitalizing on the DRC’s hydroelectric powered grid and proximity to raw materials.
