Good morning, friends.<\/strong> We hope you enjoyed your Eid break as much as we did. It\u2019s a busy morning on the climate front in our region, so let\u2019s dive right in.<\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY- <\/strong>Saudi renewables giant Acwa Power received green loans totaling USD 123 mn from several multilateral lenders for its 200 MW solar farm in Egypt\u2019s Kom Ombo and secured a USD 174 mn green loan from Asia Development Bank to help finance its two 500 MW wind farms in Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

^^ <\/strong>We have the details on this story and much more in the news well, below.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION- Climate campaigners blockade HQ of<\/strong> America\u2019s largest banks to lobby for an end to fossil fuel investments: <\/strong>Climate activists staged sit-ins in front of the headquarters of Citibank, Wells Fargo, Chase, and the Bank of America to demand stronger climate action from the financiers and call for an end to fossil fuel development a day before the lenders\u2019 annual shareholder meetings, which took place yesterday. Investment strategies for energy projects are typically rubber stamped during the annual meetings, and the campaigners\u2019 protests were aimed at nipping new fossil fuel investments in the bud before the banks greenlight new oil and gas projects. A report<\/a> released last week by Banking on Climate Chaos found that US banks extended credit lines totaling some USD 4.6 tn to finance the fossil fuel industry since 2016 alone.<\/p>\n

The story snagged headlines yesterday: <\/strong>Reuters<\/a> | The Guardian<\/a>| Bloomberg<\/a> | The Washington Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

WATCH THIS SPACE #1- Oman\u2019s state-owned Hydrom expects to seal several <\/strong>green hydrogen agreements worth USD bns over the next few months<\/strong>, Meed<\/a> reports, citing a source familiar with the plans. Last month, Hydrom inked six binding term sheet agreements<\/a> worth USD 20 bn with a number of companies from Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Japan, Singapore, Germany, India, Kuwait, and the UAE.<\/p>\n

<\/a> WATCH THIS SPACE #2- <\/strong>Crossing fingers for green power from the North Sea? <\/strong>Seven EU nations \u2014 including France, Germany and the Netherlands \u2014 and non-EU countries Norway and the UK have signed a declaration aimed at expanding Europe\u2019s offshore wind capacity up to a combined 120 GW by 2030, the declaration (pdf)<\/a>signed on Monday during the North Sea summit in Belgium showed. The Ostend Declaration sees the countries pledging to build wind farms rapidly, develop \u201cenergy islands,\u201d and work on carbon capture and renewable hydrogen projects in the region. The nine nations are seeking a combined North Sea offshore wind of 300 GW by 2050, a considerable increase from the current 25 GW. Among the planned projects is what would be the \u201cworld\u2019s largest of its kind\u201d power line between the Netherlands and Britain, according to a statement by the British government<\/a>. The LionLink interconnector<\/a> would, if completed, have the capacity to transfer 1.8 GW of electricity \u2014 enough to supply power to 1.8 mn homes once operational by the early 2030s. Europe is continuing its efforts to wean itself off Russian gas and slash the use of still-dominant CO2-emitting fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE #3-<\/strong> US solar tariffs could face veto from Biden: <\/strong>US President Joe Biden is threatening to veto congressional attempts to overturn tariff waivers on solar panels imported from Southeast Asia, according to a White House statement<\/a> released on Monday. The White House said it \u201cstrongly opposes\u201d the resolution and would veto it if it passes. The veto threat comes months after Biden waived tariffs on solar panels coming from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam \u201cto ensure that Americans have access to reliable, affordable, and clean electricity,\u201d according to the statement. However, the statement added that \u201cgiven the strong trends in the domestic solar industry, the President does not intend to extend the tariff suspension at the conclusion of the 24-month period in June 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n

But why? <\/strong>Domestic manufacturers argue that the tariffs \u2014- which Bloomberg<\/a> estimated could be as high as 254% \u2014- are necessary to compete with cheap panels made abroad. Chinese solar manufacturers were also believed to be evading the decade-old import duties after a US Commerce Department investigation<\/a> found that the Chinese companies were directing their shipments through the four Asian nations before sending their goods to the US.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a> WATCH THIS SPACE #4- Only 10 automobile <\/strong>manufacturers could survive the intense competition in the global EV market over the next decade<\/strong>, Xpeng<\/a> Vice Chairman Brian Gu told the Financial Times<\/a>. Chinese car makers need to have annual sales of at least 3 mn vehicles to be among the EV battle survivors, Gu told the salmon-colored paper. \u201cTo be in that \u20183 mn club\u2019 you cannot be a China-only player, you have to be a global player. We think in that scenario, maybe close to half your volume is coming from outside of China,\u201d he said. He sees a \u201cmuch more concentrated market\u201d over the next five to 10 years, forecasting the number of car makers to be less than ten at the global stage at the time.<\/p>\n

Speaking of EVs:<\/strong> UK carmaker Jaguar Land Rover plans to pour GBP 15 bn in investments for electric vehicles over the next five years, CEO Adrian Mardell told the Financial Times<\/a> last week. JLR will double its investments and roll out seven new EVs, including a fully electric Range Rover in late 2024, Mardell said.<\/p>\n

\n

WATCH THIS SPACE #5- <\/strong>Xlinks <\/strong>holding its second public consultation for planned <\/strong>Morocco-UK subsea interconnector:<\/strong> UK-based renewables developer Xlinks \u2014 which is building a GBP 18 bn subsea powerline to transport 3.6 GW of clean energy from Morocco to the UK \u2014 kicked off the second round of public consultations for its 10.5 GW renewables project, according to a company statement<\/a> released last week. The company is currently looking to secure building permits to lay underground, high-voltage, direct-current cabling as well as an alternating current converter station in Devon, UK. The second consultation is set to wrap up on 31 May.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE #6- The first 150 MW phase of Iraq\u2019s interconnection project with Jordan will be launched at the beginning of June<\/strong>, Iraqi Electricity Ministry spokesman Ahmed Musa told the Iraqi News Agency<\/a> last week. Work is still ongoing on other interconnection projects, including one to the GCC electricity grid through a connection point in Kuwait, and another to Saudi Arabia, Musa said. Construction on a fourth link with Turkey is now fully complete, but the project has not yet been launched as Iraq\u2019s Electricity Ministry is yet to finalize the tariffs on transporting energy through the interconnection.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE #7- Spending on aviation infrastructure is necessary to <\/strong>reach decarbonization goals<\/strong>, a new white paper from the World Economic Forum (WEF)<\/a> says. The aviation industry must make key investments in infrastructure if it hopes to reach its net-zero target by 2050, the paper said, explaining that hydrogen and electric aircraft will need 600-1.7k terawatt-hours (TWh) of clean energy by 2050. The estimated demand would require energy generated from 10-25 of the world\u2019s biggest wind farms, or from a solar farm that is \u201chalf the size of Belgium\u201d, the paper said. \u201cGiven that the share of aviation\u2019s global warming impact is set to rise significantly if action is not taken, the sector must consider all the options available for decarbonization. This includes preparing to use aircraft that are powered by carbonfree fuels at scale,\u201d said David Hyde, Aerospace Projects lead at WEF.<\/p>\n
