Where To Invest In Renewables In Subsaharan Africa

July 19, 2018

The objective of the project was to report a market analysis of the 49 Sub-Saharan African countries (SSA), to assess each country’s proficiency in attracting renewables energy investments, especially for wind power and solar PV. The criteria that reflect the availability of SSA countries to receive investment from private companies were identified, analysed and measured. In the analysis, all the relevant parameters were taken into account such as the electricity demand growth, the political stability, the renewable resources availability and the regulatory framework. After the evaluation of the different countries, the final goal was to present two different ranks, respectively one for wind power and one for solar PV, of the top 10 Sub-Saharan countries that are more likely to attract profitable investments for foreign energy companies.

Offshore Wind Market Report: 2022 Edition

whitePaper | January 17, 2023

In the United States, commercial-scale offshore wind energy deployment is at an early stage with only 42 megawatts (MW) generating power; however, the domestic industry is poised for an exponential increase in new installations after the first large commercial projects advanced to the construction phase in 2021–2022. Over the past 20 years, offshore wind energy got a head start outside the United States with the help of coordinated European offshore wind energy incentives.

Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage

whitePaper | November 10, 2022

Containing the global rising temperatures to a 1.5 degrees increase requires lowering the CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere drastically. There are many talks to be walked in decarbonising society. Some need to be addressed individually, and others necessitate collaboration - collaboration across value chains and borders. With carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), leaps can be taken and barriers can be broken.

Ecolabels and their role in mitigating climate change

whitePaper | October 11, 2022

The international type 1 ecolabelling schemes associated with the entire lifecycle of products and services had environmental and health attributes and has a significant role in mitigating climate change. Standards and criteria developed for ecolabels assist in setting the bar for manufactured products and services to limit greenhouse gas emissions and reduce climate change impacts. Climate change represents a continuing threat to humanity and the natural world. The current effects of anthropogenic climate change are far-reaching, from its effects on causing extreme weather to its impacts on natural ecosystems and human society

How to make the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles smart

whitePaper | November 30, 2022

Renewable energies and the increasing emergence of electric vehicles are putting a strain on the electricity grid. The former are not constantly available, and the latter require additional energy while charging. This leads to the need for introducing a new, smart charging infrastructure to avoid instabilities at the grid level. This white paper explains what is involved in making a charging infrastructure truly “smart” and what obstacles can be expected along the way. It also outlines why vehicle owners do not need to fear batteries degradation, and which semiconductor devices and other supporting technologies Infineon provides for such applications.
