Good morning, friends. <\/strong>It\u2019s a brisk read this morning as we enjoy a calm start to the week as we recap US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm\u2019s visit to the region and get an update on Acwa Power\u2019s 900 MW Shuaa solar project. There\u2019s also news breaking about a new EV manufacturing facility landing in Abu Dhabi. First, let\u2019s take a quick look at what stories are shaping the conversation abroad\u2026<\/p>\n

THE BIG CLIMATE STORY OUTSIDE THE REGION- <\/strong>Microsoft\u2019s <\/strong>emissions rose 30% off of AI expansion: <\/strong>Microsoft\u2019s Scope 3 emissions increased 30% from 2020 levels, hindering the tech giant\u2019s goal to be carbon-negative by 2030, according to Microsoft\u2019s sustainability report (pdf)<\/a>. The rise in emissions is attributed to the company\u2019s rapid expansion in AI, which requires the construction of new data centers that demand large quantities of carbon-intensive materials such as cement, steel, and microchips. Despite Microsoft outlining several strategies to increase energy efficiency and invest in renewables<\/a> or sustainable aviation fuels, amongst others, it did not consider how it will offset the emissions from the USD 50 bn worth of investments in made from July 2023 and July 2024 in AI tech<\/p>\n

The giant software firm is under fire on all fronts:<\/strong> The company's reliance on renewable energy credits (RECs)<\/a> \u2014 such as its delivery of 3.33 mn tons of permanent negative emissions<\/a> from its planned bio-CCS facility in Stockholm \u2014 to claim clean energy usage has drawn criticism for potentially masking actual emission growth, the news outlet adds. Employees have also voiced concerns over Microsoft's AI-enhanced oil extraction projects, which they believe undermine the company's environmental efforts. The story grabbed ink in <\/strong>Bloomberg<\/a><\/strong>, <\/strong>The Financial Times<\/a><\/strong>, <\/strong>The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong> and <\/strong>CNBC<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALSO- Climate change-driven flooding and heavy rains continue to batter Afghanistan<\/strong>, one of countries most vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters according to the UN. Nearly 100 people have died since Saturday and at least 300 hundred houses were destroyed. Flash floods devastated villages in northern Afghanistan causing 315 fatalities and over 1.6 injuries last week. The story was picked up by <\/strong>Reuters<\/a><\/strong>, <\/strong>AP<\/a><\/strong>, <\/strong>BBC<\/a><\/strong>, and <\/strong>The Guardian<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

HAPPENING TODAY-<\/p>\n

The Electric Vehicle Innovation Summit<\/a><\/strong> will open its doors today in Abu Dhabi and run <\/strong>through to Wednesday.<\/strong> The event will see industry leaders come together to discuss sustainable mobility and tapping into groundbreaking advancements in electric vehicles while engaging with key decision-makers. Over in Riyadh, <\/strong>The Future Aviation Forum<\/a><\/strong> is kicking off today and will wrap on Wednesday.<\/strong> The event, organized by the General Authority of Civil Aviation, will see the Kingdom showcasing some USD 100 bn worth of investment options in the aviation and logistics sector at large. <\/p>\n

COP WATCH-<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong>Irena <\/strong>to monitor global progress on COP28 agreement until 2030: <\/strong>The International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) has been officially tasked with monitoring progress on the climate goals set out by the global pact \u2014 dubbed the UAE Consensus \u2014 agreed upon at COP28\u2019s conclusion, according to a press release<\/a> published last week. Irena will create a dedicated yearly report to monitor progress on and propose strategies for reaching energy targets, and will run from this year to 2030.<\/p>\n

REFRESHER- What is the UAE Consensus? <\/strong>The final text<\/a> of the global pact \u2014 which was signed by 198 parties \u2014 outlined key actions to shift away from fossil fuels including tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030, rapidly phasing out coal power, and developing zero-carbon technologies. It set goals to reduce fossil fuel consumption and production, tackling non-CO2 emissions like methane, and transitioning to cleaner transportation options while eliminating inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. While the pact was the first in 28 years<\/a> to explicitly mention the need to shift away from every type of fossil fuel, many critics were frustrated with the lack of clear commitments for the phase out.<\/p>\n

WATCH THIS SPACE-<\/p>\n

<\/a>#1- Negotiations have started for Egypt to <\/strong>access USD 1.2 bn in green financing from the IMF's Resilience and Sustainability Facility<\/strong>, Egypt\u2019s Environment Ministry said<\/a> on Saturday, following a meeting between Egypt\u2019s Environment Minister Yasmine Fouad and IMF mission chief for Egypt Ivanna Hollar. The USD 8 bn expanded facility agreement in March paved the way<\/a> for the country to apply for the additional low-cost climate financing.<\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s third loan review with the IMF \u2013 scheduled for June \u2013 will also discuss<\/a> the climate financing package, Hollar said in April. \u201cTo qualify, countries need to have in place a strong set of policies that are intended to address the bases of climate change,\" she added.<\/p>\n

IN OTHER EGYPT NEWS-<\/strong>Dabaa <\/strong>nuclear plant advances: <\/strong>The first level of the internal containment vessel of the Dabaa reactor building in the first nuclear unit was officially completed, according to a statement<\/a> released on Friday. The internal containment vessel houses the nuclear reactor and the primary circuit equipment, playing a pivotal role in the operational safety of the nuclear station.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Final phase of the plant is underway: <\/strong>Egypt kicked off construction on the fourth and final reactor<\/a> of the 4.8 GW Dabaa nuclear power plant in January. Construction is set to be completed by 2028.<\/p>\n

<\/a>#2- Ukraine\u2019s DTEK is exploring renewables cooperation with Acwa: <\/strong>DTEK<\/a> \u2014 Ukraine\u2019s largest privately-held energy company \u2014 is engaged in talks with renewables giant Acwa Power to boost its wind and solar power capacities in addition to upping battery storage activity, CEO Maxim Timchenko told Arab News<\/a>. The company is in talks \u201cwith PIF and other [Saudi] institutions\u201d about investment in cleantech, IT, agriculture, and energy, according to Timchenko. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong>#3- Qatar to test electric air taxi and delivery planes: <\/strong>Qatar will run its first trial of electric air taxis and delivery planes in early 2025, according to a statement<\/a>. The country aims to eventually develop a fully integrated mobility ecosystem to enhance its transport sector. The air mobility strategy will use artificial intelligence to increase sustainability, integration, and efficiency. <\/p>\n

Qatar is following in the UAE\u2019s footsteps: <\/strong>Chinese electric air mobility company EHang concluded the first demo flight<\/a> for its pilotless eVTOL aircraft series EH216 in Abu Dhabi earlier this month as part of a partnership signed in December for EHang to roll out its autonomous eVTOL aircraft in the UAE. The Chinese firm intends to sell its vehicles to be used as an air taxi service for city public transportation systems, as well as sightseeing flights for tourists. <\/p>\n

#4- <\/strong>Jera <\/strong>to invest USD 32 bn in energy and renewables: <\/strong>Japanese power giant Jera<\/a> is planning to invest USD 32 bn in energy including adding 15 GW of renewable energy and 7 mn tons of hydrogen and ammonia, Reuters<\/a> reported on Thursday. The company also plans to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 60% from 2013 levels, phase out inefficient coal-fired power plants by 2030, and convert remaining coal-fired power generation to ammonia by the 2040s. <\/p>\n

Jera\u2019s heavily investing in regional projects: <\/strong>Jera signed agreements<\/a> with Taqa and Adnoc last year to investigate the feasibility of low-carbon thermal energy, ammonia, and green hydrogen projects in the region. The Japanese company also collaborated with Saudi Arabia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund the Public Investment Fund, to explore the production of green hydrogen<\/a> and its derivatives. It also plans to invest<\/a> in low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia plants in the region to produce around 1 mn annual tons of blue ammonia, alongside smaller-scale green hydrogen projects.<\/p>\n

#5- <\/strong>TotalEnergies <\/strong>is eyeing renewables projects in KSA: <\/strong>French energy giant TotalEnergies is in discussions with Saudi Arabia\u2019s Acwa Power to expand its renewable energy portfolio in the kingdom, TotalEnergies\u2019 CEO Patrick Pouyanne told Asharq Business<\/a> on the sidelines of the Qatar Economic Forum last week. TotalEnergies\u2019 Middle East strategy aims to invest in projects that mix gas and renewable energy, which the company is currently implementing in Oman and Iraq, Pouyanne added. TotalEnergies and Oman\u2019s OQ Alternative Energy announced plans to develop a joint renewable energy portfolio<\/a> with a total capacity of up to 800 MW last month. <\/p>\n

Total is already active in the region: <\/strong>The company partnered with Oman\u2019s Nama Power and Water Procurement Company to build a 17 MW solar project<\/a> to power its Sur desalination plant under a JV with France\u2019s Veolia. TotalEnergies is also set to begin operating the first phase<\/a> of its solar power project in Iraq \u201cwithin the next year.\u201d The company is also among the backers<\/a> of Xlinks\u2019s Morocco-UK interconnector project.<\/p>\n

#6- Morocco has plans to add 6.5 <\/strong>GW of renewable energy to the country\u2019s 11 GW total installed energy capacity by 2027<\/strong>, Reuters<\/a> reported last week, citing comments made by Energy Minister Leila Benali last week on the sidelines of a conference on batteries in Rabat. The country plans to add 2.5 GW of non-renewable power in the same period, which together with the renewables projects will cost the government USD 7 bn in investments. Currently, renewables makeup 4.5 GW (37.6%) of Morocco's total electricity capacity, with the nation quickly approaching its goal to have renewables represent 52% of its energy mix by 2050.<\/p>\n

#7- US opens probe into Asia solar imports: <\/strong>The US Commerce Department has launched an investigation into dumping and unfair subsidization allegations against South East Asian solar cell and panel imports, specifically from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, Bloomberg<\/a> reported last week. The probe comes one month after seven US solar equipment companies filed petitions<\/a> to counteract \u201cunfair practices\u201d by overseas rivals. <\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> The US firms request that tariffs \u2014 which they suggest should reach as high as 271.5% later this year \u2014 be imposed on USD 12.5 bn worth of imported equipment from South East Asian firms, Bloomberg wrote. The results of the investigation will determine whether importers will have to hold bns in cash deposits or reserves on their product to pay potential tariffs. The duties could be enforced in as little as four months. <\/p>\n

Not everyone\u2019s on board: <\/strong>US solar producers may be seeking profit rather than protection of the domestic solar industry, CEO of Invenergy Michael Polsky said, Bloomberg<\/a> reported last week. The US solar manufacturers would directly benefit from tariffs imposed on Southeast Asian solar imports, Polsku stated, adding that US firm First Solar\u2019s shares spiked almost 5% with news of the waiver\u2019s near end. Rather than protecting US manufacturing, the tariffs will create conditions where \u201cthey can sell their solar products at the highest price,\u201d he stressed. <\/p>\n

ALSO- Is Biden making a U-turn to protect local industries?<\/strong> US President Joe Biden is planning to end a two-year tariff waiver on the solar panels made by Chinese companies in Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, and on imported double-sided solar panels imported from China, Reuters<\/a> reported on Thursday. Biden also plans to introduce tax credits for projects that have 40% of its equipment manufactured in the US.<\/p>\n

DANGER ZONE- <\/p>\n

Climate change is coming for your mental health: <\/strong>Rising temperatures and climate disasters can cause neurological diseases and mental health disorders to become more prevalent and come with more severe symptoms, Bloomberg<\/a> reported last week, citing a study<\/a> published by the University College London (UCL) in the neurology journal The Lancet. The analysis also revealed that environmental factors can increase the associated risk of hospital admission, disability, and death. This is because \u201cif the brain has a disease, then the brain\u2019s ability to thermoregulate is compromised,\u201d the lead researcher explained, adding that \u201cthe brain has to be maintained within a relatively narrow temperature range in order to work properly.\u201d The scientists looked at cases of Alzheimer, epilepsy, anxiety, PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts, and mental health related hospitalization in the study.<\/p>\n
