Decarbonising the mining sector
As one of the world's most energy-intensive industries, mining has long been ripe for a renewable energy transformation. Falling renewable energy costs, coupled with an increased determination to address environmental impacts, has led to a significant transformation in the way mine operators approach energy generation, consumption, and management. With the sector prepared to rethink the adoption of renewables into its energy mix, is mining the latest sector on the cusp of a green energy revolution?

5 Reasons the future of U.S. renewables looks brighter
With over 742 million MWh generated from renewable sources in 2018, the United States is already one of the world's biggest markets for clean energy. As key stakeholders aim to capitalise on the abundance of renewable energy sources, as well as the ever-decreasing cost of solar and wind, recent developments look set to further reinforce the country's status as one of the leading markets for renewables. Here we look at five key factors that are poised to catapult a country, already on the verge of a green energy revolution, to the next level.

Renewables take starring role post the pandemic
Renewables will take a starring role over the next decade, with solar power taking centre stage. Solar PV is now consistently cheaper than new coal- or gas-fired power plants in most countries, and solar projects now offer some of the lowest-cost electricity ever seen. Storage will play an increasingly vital role in ensuring the flexible operation of power systems. These are some of the findings in the World Energy Outlook 2020, the International Energy Agency’s flagship publication, that can be found here.

IAE highlights Africa’s role in shaping global energy trends
The International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights Africa’s role in shaping global energy trends in its Africa Energy Outlook 2019, https://www.iea.org/africa2019/. The report concludes that Africa in 2040 could meet the energy demands of an economy four times larger than today’s with only 50% more energy. Better access to energy will be key in achieving growth but it requires investments. If policy makers put a strong emphasis on clean energy technologies solar PV could become the continent’s largest electricity source in terms of installed capacity by 2040.
