It was interesting to read that energy companies have focused more on capital investment in the shift to sustainable energy, with the proportion tripled in two years now at 42%.
It suggests that decarbonization necessitates more than financial investments in renewables and calls for restructuring fossil-based systems more broadly. While positive, the International Energy Agency indicates that global clean energy investment should increase fortyfold by the 2050 to achieve a net-zero state of affairs.
Luckily, the industry plans to benefit from various funding sources such as private equity, balance sheets and equity capital market.

Key Takeaways:
- Invest in all energy sources, focusing on reducing emissions.
- Urgent need for realistic, inclusive energy transition programs.
- Public-private partnerships crucial for unlocking capital in the Global South.
Further Insights
1. Capital Distribution:
Capital flow to renewables is concentrated in the Global North, leaving the Global South lacking essential investment.
2. Investment Challenges:
Despite the urgency of the energy transition, the cost and risk associated with deploying capital in emerging markets remain barriers.
3. Technological and Financial Support:
Technological advancements and financial mechanisms need to be tailored to support energy access and efficiency in the Global South.
4. Emission Reduction:
A shift towards renewable energy sources is crucial, but fossil fuels will continue to play a role in the global energy mix. Focus on emission reduction rather than completely moving away from fossil fuels is essential.
5. Infrastructure Development:
Developing countries need strong support in building infrastructure that can support the energy transition, including smart grid technology and efficient energy distribution systems.
Closing Thoughts:
Is there enough global collaboration and financial support to ensure the Global South can participate effectively in the energy transition, or will disparities widen? How can technology and capital be leveraged more efficiently to support the shift towards sustainability?

The UK energy system needs transformational investment if we’re to reach #NetZero.
But where do we focus investment? Which sectors and which low carbon technologies? And how do we finance the new infrastructure we need?

For the first time ever, global clean energy investment is projected to surpass $2 trillion this year, nearly doubling the amount poured into fossil fuels. This is a massive leap forward, driven by advancements in clean technology and a more sustainable focus across industries.
However, #renewable advocates like myself know this is just the beginning. The International Energy Agency (IEA) tells us we need to more than double this investment to $4.5 trillion annually by the early 2030s to truly transition away from fossil fuels.

Financing clean energy is one of the most significant challenges we face today, but it also represents a massive opportunity.
🌱 To meet global climate targets, renewable energy investments need to triple by 2030. This ambitious goal requires innovative financial solutions and strong commitment from both the public and private sectors.
💰 It's time to see this challenge as an opportunity to drive sustainable growth and create a greener future. 🌿

A rapid transition to low-carbon energy requires parallel investments to green both existing and future fossil fuel power plants.
To decrease greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel plants, we can focus on three main levers: increasing efficiency, developing CCUS technologies, and using co-firing and low-carbon fuels.
Investing in renewables and clean energy is hindered by various risks and challenges, leading to higher capital costs, especially in emerging and developing countries.
To address challenges and promote a balanced approach that considers meeting climate goals, providing affordable energy for all, and ensuring energy security, the World Investment Report 2023 proposes a Global Action Compact for Investment in Sustainable Energy for All.

Everyone can agree that adopting multiple paths to address our energy needs is obvious, but the issue is that our infrastructure can't support emerging energy solutions. If we want to continue to lead the world we need a holistic energy solution.
Three key challenges hindering decarbonisation...
1. Costs and benefits are misaligned,
2. Renewable energy requires new infrastructure,
3. Green tech moves fast.
Why decarbonisation is so hard
