🌍#EnergyUpdate#💡: Bloomberg reported yesterday that global investments in the clean-energy transition reached a record $1.8 trillion last year, marking a significant 17% surge. This milestone, highlighted in a recent BloombergNEF report, underscores the massive global investments in this area as we electrify the grid to reduce climate change and increase energy pricing stability. The total funding for 2023, including clean-energy supply chains and financing, touched about $2.8 trillion. Despite this historic high, this still falls short of the more than $4.8 trillion needed annually from 2024 to 2030, as per BNEF estimates, to hit clean energy targets. Key Highlights: *China leads with $676 billion in spending, though growth has slowed. *The US, UK, and Europe are catching up, thanks in part to policies like the US Inflation Reduction Act. *Electric vehicles lead the investment surge, growing 36% to $634 billion. *Renewable energy and power grids are also seeing significant funding. This continues to be one of the largest investment opportunities out there and is why we are bullish on the Renewable Infrastructure space over the next decade. #energytransition #renewableinfrastructurenergy #assetallocation #InvestmentTrends

It's incredible to think it's been almost two years since the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law. This landmark legislation has sparked one of the biggest investments in climate action and energy security in U.S. history, and the progress we've seen since then is truly inspiring. Since the IRA's enactment, we've seen solar energy capacity in the U.S. soar. In 2023 alone, we added 32.4 gigawatts of new capacity—a 37% jump from the previous year. For the first time ever, renewable energy generation has outpaced coal. It's a clear signal that the shift to clean energy is well underway. And the momentum keeps building. In Q1 of 2024 alone, clean energy investments hit a record $71 billion, up 40% from the same period last year. This growth is fueled by innovative technologies like our own B-TRAN™ technology. The journey to a net-zero future is a massive, collective effort, and it's exciting to see the U.S. Department of Defense partnering with startups like Eavor Technologies Inc. for geothermal energy projects, and tech giants like Microsoft and Schneider Electric driving collaboration and innovation at events like COP28. We've come a long way, but there's still so much more to do. Let's keep pushing forward, investing in, and innovating for a sustainable, resilient energy future. 👉 Find the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dDZxF4J6 #CleanEnergy #InflationReductionAct #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #CleanTech

Navigating the Path to a Greener Future: Analyzing the CAPEX Trend in the Electric Power Generation Sector Electric power generation is a prominent contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, with the electricity and heat generation sector witnessing the largest surge in carbon emissions in 2022, according to the IEA’s CO2 Emissions Report. Aligning the electricity sector with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal will likely require substantial investments in the energy transition. Clean energy investment has gained a strong lead over fossil fuel investment in recent years. The rapid growth in clean energy investment is attributable to a confluence of factors, such as favourable economic conditions amidst volatile fossil fuel prices, robust policy support such as the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the EU REPowerEU plan and Fit-for-55 package, new initiatives in China and India, and energy security concerns incentivizing policy makers to reduce dependencies on fossil fuels. Global investment in clean energy set a new record, reaching $1.6 trillion in 2022. It was driven by renewables, especially solar PV; energy efficiency; grids; and energy storage projects.
