Meanwhile, the world's richest countries pledged to contribute to a fund that would help developing countries deal with climate disasters. Since construction began in 2015, Bhadla Solar Park has slowly grown to cover an enormous 5,700-hectare desert site with solar panels. Sustainable financeThe park was built in four phases, with each field of solar panels larger than the last. "Transmission lines take about ten times as long to build as it takes to put up solar panels," Mukherjee said. "When you see technology costs dropping, sometimes precipitously like they have with solar panels, then the opportunity to do more just grows and grows."
☆ 'Indiscriminate use of hydrogen' could slow the energy transition, report says

"Indiscriminate use of hydrogen could therefore slow down the energy transition," it added. The energy transition can broadly be seen as a shift away from fossil fuels to a system dominated by renewables. Hopes for hydrogen Described by the International Energy Agency as a "versatile energy carrier," hydrogen has a diverse range of applications and can be deployed in a wide range of industries. During a roundtable discussion at COP27 last week, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz described green hydrogen as "one of the most important technologies for a climate-neutral world." "So it requires an extra effort to make green hydrogen projects ...
☆ Gulf Arab states can’t give up oil. But they can slash their emissions

Abu Dhabi CNN —As Western states try to wean themselves off their addiction to hydrocarbons, Gulf oil nations have been pushing back hard, warning that a hasty transition away from fossil fuels will be counterproductive. According to the World Bank, Qatar had the highest carbon emissions per capita as of 2019, followed by Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. So, investment in clean energy projects and renewables “makes very good business sense and PR sense for the Gulf,” he said. Gulf petro-states are warning against a quick transition away from hydrocarbons, with the UAE calling for a “mixed energy” approach that minimizes emissions without cutting hydrocarbons. Much of the hydrocarbons exported by Gulf states go to some of the world’s biggest consumers and polluters, including China and India.

☆ Nigeria is oil rich and energy poor. It can’t wait around for cheaper batteries

But it’s coming under huge pressure from developed countries to abandon fossil fuels and shift to renewable energy in order to help save the climate. AKINTUNDE AKINLEYE/EPA-EFE/ShutterstockLike the United States, Europe and Britain, Nigeria sees a prominent role for renewable energy, notwithstanding its investments into gas power. “In Nigeria, clean energy is central to our government’s plan to transition to net-zero emissions,” Osinbajo, the vice president, continued. In Nigeria, energy poverty is itself a major driver of emissions, according to Olu Verheijen, the founder of Lagos-based energy advisory business Latimer Energy. This means that in some cases, certainly for Nigeria, gas has an important role to play in providing power.
