The Promise of Microbial Fuel Cells in Africa

5 days ago | oilprice.com | Haley Zaremba

Africa's energy trilemma requires solutions that are sufficient, affordable, and sustainable amidst growing demand. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert organic waste into clean energy, promising rural electrification. Challenges for MFCs include high costs, scalability issues, and lack of coordinated research efforts in Africa.
Will China Take Advantage of Trump's Climate Cuts?

5 days ago | oilprice.com | Haley Zaremba

Trump’s decision to cut climate financing to zero creates a vacuum that China is ready to fill with green energy investments in developing nations. With U.S. tariffs straining trade relations, China is leveraging its Belt and Road Initiative to establish dominance in clean energy markets across Southeast Asia. Experts suggest that China's expanding influence may reshape global climate diplomacy as the U.S. steps back from its commitments.
Taiwan's Energy Crisis Could Prove to Be Existential

1 week ago | oilprice.com | Haley Zaremba

Taiwan's isolated energy grid is heavily dependent on fossil fuel imports, leaving it highly vulnerable to blockades. Chinese military exercises have targeted potential energy disruptions, signaling the strategic importance of Taiwan's power supply. Taiwan's energy insecurity threatens not only its own economy but also global semiconductor production, sparking concerns of a broader conflict.
Is It Time to Unlock the Great Lakes' Wind Power Potential?
