World Breaks Renewable Records — But Still Not Fast Enough to Meet 2030 Goal, IRENA Warns

twende-solar-ethiopia.jpg

In MENA and Mediterranean markets we cover, solar fields now sit ready but under-connected, as grid modernisation lags behind flashy capacity announcements. The region — especially Gulf and North African economies — could play a major role in closing the global gap, but only if infrastructure catches up with ambition and clean tech manufacturing localises, rather than relying on fragile import chains.

Asia Powers Ahead in Global Renewable Boom, But Africa Risks Being Left Behind

Asia continues to dominate global renewable energy growth, accounting for 71% of new capacity added in 2024, while Africa and other developing regions remain far behind despite their potential. Solar and wind lead the charge, comprising 97.5% of additions, with solar alone adding 453 GW. Although global renewables capacity hit a record 582 GW, the world is still off track to meet the COP28 goal of tripling capacity by 2030. Without faster growth and more equitable investment, the energy transition risks deepening the global divide.

Green Polyethylene: The Plant-Based Plastic That’s Replacing Oil

Green PE is produced using ethanol derived from renewable sources—primarily sugarcane in Brazil, but also wheat grain and beet in Europe. It behaves the same as traditional polyethylene: it’s durable, moldable, and recyclable. The difference lies in its feedstock and carbon footprint. While not biodegradable, Green PE is a key player in the circular economy: it sequesters carbon during crop growth and reduces life-cycle emissions when used and recycled responsibly.

Helion Energy, AI, and the New Cold Fusion War With China

trenta-1-1400x934-1.png

Helion’s model plays to America's old strength: innovation through agility, not top-down megaprojects. Instead of waiting for 2050, Helion’s compact reactors aim to deliver electricity in a matter of years—and not just for cities, but for data centers, isolated industries, military bases, even disaster zones. Their current prototype, Polaris, is scheduled to fire in 2025. If Helion succeeds, it won’t just disrupt global energy. It could redraw the world map.
