Good morning, friends. <\/strong>We have a meaty issue for you this morning with lots of green finance updates and some M&A news. Let\u2019s jump right in.<\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORIES- <\/strong>The Saudi Water Partnership Company launched operations at the solar-powered Yanbu 4 desalination plant and British international services company Serco has acquired UAE-based Climatize for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n

^^ We have the details on these stories and more in the news well, below.<\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION- Chile declares state of emergency as <\/strong>forest fires ravage densely populated <\/strong>areas<\/strong>: <\/strong>Chile\u2019s President Gabriel Boric declared a state of emergency on Saturday for two of the country\u2019s provinces as four large wildfires raged across the densely populated Valpara\u00edso region in central Chile, killing at least 56 people as of yesterday. The forest fires have left 372 people missing so far and damaged 1.1k homes, with authorities expecting the death toll to rise as they confirm information from affected areas they have not been able to access yet. The country is experiencing a summer heat-wave, sparking 92 active fires across 43k hectares of land in Chile, of which only 40 have been extinguished as of yesterday. Boric has called for additional military personnel deployments to the affected areas, home to over 1 mn people.<\/p>\n

Climate change-driven fires are spreading: <\/strong>The combined impact of global warming and climatic phenomena including El Ni\u00f1o is amplifying the climate crisis<\/a>, leading to once-in-a-century<\/a> blazes across several regions globally last year including the US, and the EU, which saw its largest ever wildfire<\/a> on record. Climate-induced wildfires impacted twice as much<\/a> tree cover in 2023 compared to observed levels over the past twenty years, driving global emissions up between 10-28% above the 2003-2022 average. <\/p>\n

The story made headlines in the international press over the weekend:<\/strong>Reuters<\/a> | AP News<\/a> | The New York Times<\/a> | The Washington Post<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | BBC<\/a> | The Guardian<\/a> <\/p>\n

HAPPENING TODAY- <\/p>\n

The<\/strong>Mining Indaba investment event<\/a><\/strong> kicks off today at Cape Town, <\/strong>South Africa and runs through to Thursday, 8 February. The conference aims to explore investment paths and support the expansion and transition of Africa\u2019s mining industry. Saudi Arabia\u2019s Ma\u2019aden will be present<\/a> at the event.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE- <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a>#1- Egypt creates a CCUS committee to launch decarbonization projects:<\/strong> Egypt is working on establishing a committee made up of experts from the country\u2019s Environment Ministry and the Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ministry to study the feasibility of establishing carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) facilities in oil and gas drilling areas, according to statement<\/a> released on Friday. The working group will focus on studying funding mechanisms for the potential decarbonization projects, Egypt\u2019s Oil Minister Tarek El Molla added. The country hopes to unveil a CCUS development roadmap during the three-day Egypt Energy Show<\/a><\/strong>, the statement notes.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- The country has big CCUS potential:<\/strong> Egypt has significant onshore carbon storage capacity<\/a> in saline aquifers, which allows for carbon storage without costly offshore infrastructure. If developed, projects can reduce up to 100 tons of CO2 annually, equivalent to 25% of Egypt\u2019s emissions goals defined in its nationally determined contributions.<\/p>\n

<\/a>#2- <\/strong>Morocco <\/strong>plans to increase its green investments to reach 10% of its foreign <\/strong>exchange <\/strong>reserves<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reported on Friday, citing a statement by Morocco's central bank governor Abdellatif Jouahri. The central bank will also advise banks on how to assess the climate-related risks from their major borrowers. The move is part of the country's efforts to combat climate change and mitigate its impacts, especially the recurrent droughts<\/a> that threaten its agriculture and water supply. Morocco faces a funding gap of USD 78 bn to achieve its climate goals by 2050, according to the World Bank. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Morocco is already trying to bridge the gap:<\/strong> The World Bank approved a USD 500 mn loan<\/a> to Morocco in December for enhancing institutional frameworks for disaster and climate risk management and protecting farmers impacted by climate change, especially droughts.<\/p>\n

#3- Is Mercedes-Benz going to produce EVs in Egypt? <\/strong>Mercedes-Benz is exploring EV production in Egypt on the back of incentives provided by the Egyptian Automotive Industry Development Program to encourage EV localization, according to an Egyptian cabinet statement<\/a> released on Thursday, citing comments by CEO of Mercedes Egypt branch Gerd Bitterlich. Mercedes-Benz recently released<\/a> a range of all-electric sedans and SUVs in Egypt.<\/p>\n

<\/a>#4- <\/strong>French <\/strong>energy giant TotalEnergies is looking to sell a 50% stake in its renewable <\/strong>projects in Europe and the US<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter. The portfolio \u2014 worth about USD 2.5 bn \u2014 includes wind and solar energy projects in the US, Spain, Portugal, France and Greece. The move comes amid rising costs of raw materials and competition in the renewable energy sector, the news outlet explains. Other companies like Iberdrola, Enel, and Repsol also sold stakes in their projects to finance new projects. Iberdrola sold a 49% stake in its Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm<\/a> to the UAE's Masdar last July. <\/p>\n

The higher competition is reflected in the lower PPA prices:<\/strong> European power purchase agreements (PPA) prices for wind and solar energy dipped by an average 2% in 4Q 2023 to EUR 85.4 (USD 92.3) per MWh, Reuters<\/a> reported on Thursday citing data by green electricity prices tracking platform LevelTen<\/a>. LevelTen\u2019s study looked at PPA prices for wind and solar energy contracts with a 5-20 year period, and across 18 European countries that it monitors in its market-averaged index. <\/p>\n

This spells good news for corporate buyers of green energy:<\/strong> The drop allows corporate buyers to secure green PPAs early in order to catch up to the EU\u2019s directive to have 42.5% of its electricity powered by renewable energy by the end of the decade. This is expected to raise demand \u2014 and thus competition \u2014 further, which could continue to push prices down. <\/p>\n

\n

DANGER ZONE- <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a>#1- Global raw material extraction to surge 60% by <\/strong>2060<\/strong>: <\/strong>Natural resource extraction \u2014 which accounts for 60% of global warming impacts \u2014 is expected to rise 60% by 2060 with high probability of triggering more frequent climate disasters globally, The Guardian<\/a> reported last week, citing a five-yearly UN Global Resource Outlook report. Raw material extraction is already up 400% from 1970 contributing to air pollution, biodiversity loss, and water stress, the report said. Meeting demand for materials critical to the energy transition, such as for EV batteries, will \u201calmost certainly\u201d catalyze more frequent storms and droughts, among other climate phenomena, former EU Commissioner and co-chair of the analysis Janez Poto\u010dnik said. <\/p>\n

Proposals: <\/strong>The report calls for prioritizing measurements of human wellbeing over GDP growth, as well as efforting a reduction in overall demand instead of ramping up clean energy production. The report also calls for adopting policies to reduce the demand for EV car transport by promoting remote working and increased adoption of cycling and trains. The strategy could see the world push down emissions by over 80% by 2060, cut material and energy demand for mobility by 40%, and for construction by 30%, the UN notes.<\/p>\n
