Global renewable energy capacity witnessed an unprecedented surge in 2023, adding a staggering 510GW – a near 50% increase year-on-year – yet the anticipated breakthrough of green hydrogen continues to falter, casting a shadow on the trajectory of global decarbonization. This dichotomy, revealed in the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest Renewables market report, underscores the complex realities of transitioning to a sustainable energy future. While solar PV and wind power are demonstrably accelerating their dominance, green hydrogen, despite fervent industry enthusiasm, is struggling to translate pilot projects into tangible contributions to the energy mix. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol, while…

A staggering volume of disingenuous narratives, strategically amplified within increasingly fragmented information ecosystems, significantly impedes meaningful climate action. This was a central contention in a recent discussion with Karim Megherbi, a seasoned renewable energy sector figure whose insights underscore the complex interplay between deliberate misinformation campaigns and the urgent need for a global energy transition. The conversation highlighted a critical challenge: the traditional approach of countering falsehoods with factual data appears increasingly inadequate in a landscape where trust in institutions and established media is demonstrably waning. WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW Megherbi’s assertion that “you don’t fight misinformation with information” strikes…
