Financing Clean Energy in Africa Clean energy investment landscape: setting the scene
Summary The IEA’s Africa Energy Outlook 2022 laid out a new scenario – the Sustainable Africa Scenario (SAS) – which sees the continent achieve by 2030, in full and on time, all of its energy and climate-related goals, including universal energy access and its NDCs.Realising the SAS requires mobilising over USD 200 billion annually by 2030, but energy investment has been declining in Africa and in 2022 was under USD 90 billion. Clean energy spending was a fraction of this at around USD 25 billion – only 2% of the global total despite the recent rise in global clean energy investment. This is far from what…

Renewables 2025 Renewable transport
Renewable energy in transport is set to expand 50% to 2030 With greater use of renewable electricity, liquid biofuels, biogases and renewable hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels, renewable energy consumption in transport is expected to rise 50% by 2030. The largest share of this growth (45%) will come from renewable electricity used for electric vehicles, especially in China and Europe.Road biofuels contribute the second-largest share (35%), with significant growth in Brazil, Indonesia, India and Malaysia, supported by tightening mandates and rising fuel demand. Aviation and maritime fuel use makes up 10% of growth, primarily owing to mandates in…

Wastes Control Act
The Waste Control Act and the Enforcement Decree of the Waste Control Act outline the regulations for managing waste in Korea. It defines the criteria for hazardous waste, sets standards for waste collection, transportation, and disposal, and specifies the requirements for recycling facilities. The law aims to ensure safe and efficient waste management to protect public health and the environment. It includes stringent regulations for handling hazardous substances and mandates proper treatment of leachate from waste disposal sites.The proposed amendments aim to promote the recycling of waste batteries by recognising black mass (a byproduct of battery recycling) as a…
