Other regions, such as Mato Grosso and Para, are also grappling with significant fire outbreaks due to dry conditions and above-average temperatures. In response, Sao Paulo Governor Tarcisio de Freitas has deployed an aircraft and over 7.3k personnel, including professionals and volunteers, to extinguish the fires and provide assistance to residents.

From Angola to Tanzania, governments and investors are revitalizing old rail lines and building new ones. The central African Copperbelt, shared by Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is at the heart of this logistics boom. The region's railways, neglected for years, are now seen as crucial for facilitating exports, with the US, EU, and China showing significant interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A spike in investments:<\/strong> The growing interest was seen during the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sararailconference.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern African Railways<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sararailconference.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Association's annual conference<\/a> in Johannesburg this week.

The index ranks countries based on their efforts to combat climate change and assesses their emissions, energy use, policies, and renewables development. Morocco was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ccpi.org\/country\/mar\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">rated medium<\/a> for renewable energy development and climate policy, but received a high rating for greenhouse gas emissions and energy use criteria. Despite the drop in ranking, Morocco was still among the 10 top high-performing countries included in the index due to its low GHG emissions and pathway to more energy efficiency as well as renewable energy production growth. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s not all positive: <\/strong>Morocco remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels which account for the majority of the North African country\u2019s energy consumption, according to the CCPI\u2019s country experts assessment.

One of the leading examples is the Kincardine project, which is the largest floating offshore wind farm in the world with a 50 MW capacity. Each of the project\u2019s turbines is tethered to the seabed by cables, allowing for installations in water of greater depth unlike traditional offshore wind turbines which have their scope of development limited to relatively shallow coastal waters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Floating turbines are struggling to catch on<\/strong><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">: <\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">While the UK\u2019s floating wind capacity was the second highest globally after Norway, it still represents only 0.6% of the 14 GW contributed by the UK\u2019s fixed offshore windfarms. The floating installations are set to continue to lag behind fixed wind farms with a 5 GW capacity versus a capacity of 60 GW for the latter under the British government\u2019s net zero targets for 2030.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>One of the biggest obstacles is high costs: <\/strong>Floating offshore wind is costly, standing at GBP 176 per megawatt-hour compared to GBP 73 per mWh for fixed offshore wind. The UK\u2019s small ports also present a challenge, requiring expansion to be able to accommodate giant turbines and floating foundations. Some GBP 4 bn will be needed to develop new port infrastructure to support the technology by the end of the decade, according to industry experts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This could change soon: <\/strong>Pre-qualified developers have been invited <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thecrownestate.co.uk\/our-business\/marine\/round-5\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier this month<\/a> to submit plans to develop three floating offshore wind farms in the Celtic Sea. This will help accelerate the development of floating wind projects. Industry group RenewableUK sees floating offshore wind projects accounting for half of the UK\u2019s offshore wind generation by 2040s. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>MENA has yet to tap into its offshore wind potential:<\/strong> Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Egypt, and Oman have high potential for offshore wind, with the entire region holding the potential to generate around 1.4 TW worth of offshore wind energy, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/8\/2143.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Offshore Wind report (pdf)<\/a> by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). Morocco was granted a USD 2 bn grant by The European Investment Bank recently to conduct a feasibility study for offshore wind, and has the potential to generate around 200 GW in offshore wind power according to previous GWEC studies. Saudi Arabia has an overall offshore capacity of 106 GW along its eastern and western coasts, the report adds.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n
