Global supply chains have been under enormous pressure from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine crisis. In the wind and solar sectors, these pressures are compounded by industry-specific challenges. As countries around the world work to meet aggressive decarbonization goals, energy from wind and solar sources are a beacon of hope. Carbon-free, inherently abundant, and […]
Renewable-energy development in a net-zero world: Overcoming talent gaps – EQ Mag Pro
The rapid growth of renewables depends on the industry finding enough employees with the right skills and experience. Across economies, the Great Attrition is making it difficult for companies to find and retain employees. Since April 2021, 20 million to 25 million US workers have quit their jobs, and 40 percent of employees globally say […]
Renewable-energy development in a net-zero world: Land, permits, and grids – EQ Mag Pro
Finding large tracts of land for solar and wind farms is getting harder. Developers will have to strengthen capabilities and enhance their operational effectiveness. Achieving the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 will require staggering increases in the amount of electricity coming from renewable sources. In just the next few years, McKinsey estimates that […]
Renewable-energy development in a net-zero world – EQ Mag Pro
Global decarbonization will require a massive build-out of wind and solar farms. But can developers find enough land, secure the supply chain, and recruit workers while maintaining profitability? The rapid maturation of wind and solar power has been nothing short of astonishing. Not long ago, the development of new solar and wind farms was typically […]
A Net-Zero World ‘Would Require 306 Million Tonnes of Green Hydrogen Per Year by 2050’: IEA
Vast amount of clean hydrogen would consume about 20% of the world’s electricity, according to landmark report from Paris-based agency. Achieving global net-zero emissions by 2050 will require about 306 million tonnes of green hydrogen derived from renewable energy each year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) report, Net Zero by 2050 – A […]
