Renewables to become first global electricity source by 2025
The latest numbers from the IEA are in and renewables will surpass dirty coal for electricity generation in 2025. Here are some thoughts on the implications this will have.

The opinion from a respected UN’s High-Level Climate Action Champion got me thinking : could the world be Net Zero by the 2040s ?
The International Energy Agency is forecasting exponential growth of renewable energy sources, with capacity doubling in the next five years.
(This post was published earlier this year on Medium. Sorry for the lack of content this year. Hopefully, 2021 will bring more exciting stories and analysis…) The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought our global economy to a standstill, with fears of the worst recession since 1929. Over 26 millions have already lost their jobs in …

A reflection on climate change and the daunting but exciting task at hand in energy, transportation, industry, food production and so on.
Steven Pinker’s latest book, Enlightenment Now, misses the mark on climate change and plastic pollution. And this is a problem.
A lot has been said about the booming global capacities of solar and wind in the past few years. But wind works at a maximum 35% of the time for onshore and perhaps 45% for offshore wind. Solar PV is even lower, with 20 to 30% capacity factor. So, backup solutions are being sought. 2017 …
For years, grid parity – the time when solar and wind would be cost-competitive with fossil fuels and nuclear – was the holy grail of renewables energy, a target to reach in a distant future. But the future is now.
Renewables currently generate very little of Puerto Rico’s electricity but hopefully this could change after Hurricane Maria.
Climate change can be fixed by switching from cars to bikes, planting trees in our cities, tapping into energy efficiency’s potential and ditching coal and natural gas for solar and wind. Learn out more in this article.
