A Turning Point for the Caribbean Energy Transition The Caribbean continues to face escalating energy insecurity. This is due to volatile fuel prices. It is also because of a heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels. This dependency undermines energy resilience and economic stability across island states. As the region accelerates its clean energy transition, there … Read more
Energy and climate crisis have become a big concern and an urgent reality affecting our planet today. Rising global temperatures are increasingly common. Intense weather events are also common. Disrupted ecosystems signal that our current way of life must rapidly evolve. Many factors are driving climate change. However, the way we produce and consume energy … Read more
The urgency to tackle climate change, resource scarcity, and rapid urbanization demands transformative action in the energy and water sectors. These sectors account for a significant part of global greenhouse gas emissions and resource use. Buildings alone contribute 40% of global CO₂ emissions. Developing markets face compounding challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited access to affordable … Read more
Climate change is more than just a buzzword. It is a global crisis reshaping ecosystems. It alters weather patterns and challenges the very way we live. In this blog, we delve into how these environmental shifts are not just future predictions but current realities. Additionally, we’ll examine the ripple effects felt across various sectors. This … Read more
Decarbonization has appeared as a key strategy to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. Many countries are struggling to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve net-zero emissions. Decarbonization is one of the key pathways to achieve this goal. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit … Read more
Zero-energy buildings (ZEBs) are an increasingly popular solution to reduce energy consumption and mitigating climate change impacts. As the name suggests, these buildings produce as much renewable energy as they consume on an annual basis. They do this by incorporating advanced energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. Thereby, they reduce their use of non-renewable energy … Read more
Off-grid solar energy signifies a transformative approach to energy independence, offering a feasible alternative to traditional power grids. These systems are particularly relevant in today’s shifting energy landscape, where sustainability and self-sufficiency are increasingly important. This article examines the fundamentals of off-grid solar energy systems. It covers the basic components and installation. The discussion extends … Read more
