Good morning, ladies and gents. <\/strong>It\u2019s another Friday, and another weekly round up of everything happening in our regional climate landscape. We have updates on green bond listings, news from Iraq\u2019s solar sector, and more Acwa green hydrogen agreements rolling in. First, Trump\u2019s climate bashing stops short when it comes to mining rare earth minerals\u2026<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD THIS WEEK- <\/strong>Trump <\/strong>eyes <\/strong>Ukraine\u2019s critical minerals in return <\/strong>for aid: <\/strong>US President Donald Trump is looking to establish an agreement with Ukraine to gain access to its critical mineral resources in return for providing \u201cclose to USD 300 bn\u201d in defense aid against Russia. The moves come as the US tries to reduce its critical minerals reliance on China, one of the world\u2019s top producers of the minerals essential for defense and green transition. <\/p>\n

But there is a catch: <\/strong>Ukraine is not known to have major reserves of rare earth critical minerals, but it maintains that its deposits of minerals like uranium, titanium, lithium, and graphite could be worth USD tns, with its Economy ministry claiming the country holds 22 of the 34 minerals deemed critical by the EU, including 120 mn metric tons of explored or partially explored reserves and an estimated 305 mn tons of further resources, according to Kyiv Independent<\/a>. Russia, however, occupies about 33% of its alleged rare earths<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The story made headlines in the international press:<\/strong> Reuters<\/a> | Associated Press<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | The Guardian<\/a> | The Washington Post<\/a> | The New York Times<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a> | CNN<\/a> <\/p>\n

HAPPENING NEXT WEEK-<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Green Impact Expo & Summit<\/a><\/strong> will kick off on Tuesday and run through Thursday, 13 <\/strong>February in Casablanca. <\/strong>The event will bring over 1k attendees to discuss sustainable mobility, decarbonization, and green industry solutions in Africa and will feature workshops and speeches by industry leaders and senior Moroccan government officials. <\/p>\n

The<\/strong> General Conference of Arab Union of Electricity<\/a><\/strong> will open its doors on <\/strong>Tuesday, 11 <\/strong>February, and run through Thursday, 13 February in Riyadh.<\/strong> The event will see policymakers, executives, and academics discuss the Arab world\u2019s energy outlook, namely climate change\u2019s impact on Arab energy grids, the future of EV infrastructure, innovation in Arab data centers, and more.<\/p>\n

\n

WHAT WE\u2019RE TRACKING REGIONALLY- <\/p>\n

<\/a>#1- Morocco and Mauritania have inked an agreement to develop an electricity <\/strong>interconnection project,<\/strong> MAP<\/a> reported on Tuesday. The agreement sets in motion a major grid connection project linking Morocco\u2019s power infrastructure with Mauritania\u2019s developing network, aiming to enhance cross-border electricity trade and grid reliability and efficiency.<\/p>\n

The project could also facilitate energy exchanges between Europe and West Africa, <\/strong>and it is part of the broader West African Power Tool<\/a> framework., MAP reported.<\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> The two countries signed an MoU<\/a> earlier in January to boost collaboration in electricity and renewable energy, focusing on rural electrification, clean energy initiatives, and harmonizing electrical standards.<\/p>\n

#2- <\/strong>Abu Dhabi Investment Authority<\/strong>-backed solar <\/strong>module maker Premier Energies is putting its 1 GW solar cell factory <\/strong>plans in the US on hold<\/strong>, after President Trump pulled the plug on the green transition policies<\/a>, Reuters<\/a> reported on Monday. Worries over the outlook of US clean energy projects have weighed on the Indian company\u2019s stocks, dropping by over 20% last month after peaking in December following its listing in September 2024<\/a> on the Bombay Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER- <\/strong>The company formed a JV<\/a> with US-based Heliene in July 2024 to build the solar cell factory, aiming to capitalize on the Inflation Reduction Act\u2019s 10% tax credit for American-made solar panels. <\/p>\n

<\/a>#3- Egypt\u2019s <\/strong>Raya <\/strong>Auto <\/strong>is planning to establish a USD 50 mn EV assembly plant<\/strong> in the country <\/strong>next year<\/strong>, CEO Mohamed El Naggar told Asharq Business<\/a> on Monday. The plant will be developed in partnership with an unnamed Chinese company, with half of the project cost self-financed and the rest secured through bank loans. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s more: <\/strong>The company is also planning to invest USD 25 mn to build 30 fast-charging stations in Egypt over the next three years, Naggar added. The company is targeting 100% growth in sales this year to reach EGP 2.5 bn, El Naggar told Al Borsa<\/a> on Monday at the launch of the Xpeng G6 electric car in the Egyptian market. <\/p>\n

IN OTHER EGYPT NEWS-<\/strong> Another Egyptian ammonia plant is advancing?<\/strong> The US Export and Import Bank has reportedly given initial approval for a USD 847 mn loan for the Public Business Sector Ministry\u2019s El Nasr Fertilizers and Benchmark Power International\u2019s green ammonia plant in Egypt\u2019s Gulf of Suez, Youm7<\/a> reported on Tuesday. The total investment ticket of the project was initially reported to possibly reach USD 1 bn<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What we know:<\/strong> The facility will be built on El Nasr Fertilizers\u2019 470k sqm land under a usufruct agreement, with a production capacity of 1k tons of green ammonia daily. The project will also include a 9.5 km pipeline linking the plant to Adabiya port for export, alongside a 400 MW wind power station and a seawater desalination plant for operational needs. <\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> Egypt inked an MoU<\/a> with a consortium comprising Acwa Power, Benchmark Powerm the Holding Company for Chemical Industries, China Energy, Germany\u2019s DAI, and others to begin conducting feasibility studies on new projects to set up facilities to produce green hydrogen and its derivatives back in December 2022. <\/p>\n

#4- Ma\u2019aden is ramping up its copper search:<\/strong> Ma\u2019aden plans to spend USD 2.5 bn annually to expand its phosphate and gold operations and dig new mines over the next five to six years, the mining giant\u2019s CEO Bob Wilt told Semafor<\/a>. However, its local operations will pivot more towards local copper exploration, aiming to spend 72% of its budget on the metal, Wilt added.<\/p>\n

\u2026 as part of a major expansion: <\/strong>Ma\u2019aden and PIF set up a JV while at the Future Minerals Forum in January 2023<\/a> to invest in mining assets globally, aiming to target \u201ciron ore, copper, nickel, and lithium as a non-operating partner taking minority equity positions.\u201d The JV could deploy USD 15 bn<\/a> in the coming years, sources said in January. Also at the forum, Maaden also said it was acquiring a minority 9.9% stake<\/a> in US tech and mineral exploration company Ivanhoe Electric (IE) for USD 126 mn and forming a JV with the company to explore mining projects at home, amongst other agreements. <\/p>\n

<\/a>#5- <\/strong>Xlinks seeks pricing contract<\/strong>: <\/strong>UK-based renewables developer Xlinks First is in talks with the UK\u2019s labor administration to draw up a pricing contract for the energy that would be supplied by its planned Morocco-UK interconnector project<\/a>, Bloomberg<\/a> reported last week. The company is looking to secure a power price steeper than that of UK offshore windfarms, and lower than the price agreed upon for the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant. The project needed a price of GBP 70-80 per MWh (in 2012 terms) to access the UK government\u2019s support mechanisms, CEO James Humphrey said last year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A critical step: <\/strong>The company hopes that securing a pricing contract would also help it galvanize the needed financing for the project, whose bill could reach as much as GBP 24 bn (USD 30 bn), including about GBP 5 bn for the UK-based portions of the project. <\/p>\n

The timeline: <\/strong>The company plans to make a final investment decision this year, with the goal of achieving financial close and beginning construction in 2026, Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n

WHAT WE\u2019RE TRACKING GLOBALLY-<\/p>\n

#1- <\/strong>European <\/strong>investors warn against ESG rollback: <\/strong>A coalition of institutional investors representing EUR 6.6 tn (c.USD 6.8 tn) in assets is urging EU officials to resist pressure to scale back ESG regulations, arguing that the bloc\u2019s reporting rules are critical for capital allocation, Bloomberg<\/a> reported on Tuesday, citing a joint statement (pdf)<\/a> by the coalition. The coalition includes the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC)<\/a>, the European Sustainable Investment Forum (Eurosif)<\/a>, and the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI)<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Their concerns:<\/strong> The group warns that reopening European ESG regulations \u201c in their entirety\u201d risks regulatory uncertainty and could undermine the EU\u2019s Green Deal. Any changes, they argue, should be limited to technical adjustments and guidance on implementation. <\/p>\n

But some players are pushing for the pause\u2026: <\/strong>Germany<\/a> and France<\/a>, alongside major businesses like Unilever and TotalEnergies<\/a>, are pushing back against the rules, arguing that they overburden small and mid-sized companies and make it harder for European firms to compete with US and Asian counterparts.<\/p>\n

\u2026including from our region:<\/strong> Qatar Energy CEO Saad Al-Kaabi went on the offensive against<\/a>the ESG rules<\/a> in December multiple times, blasting its expansive scope and hefty plenties and warning of a possible halt of Qatari LNG exports to the continent. <\/p>\n

Regulations under review: <\/strong>The EU is reviewing several ESG rules under its omnibus process, set to take place later this month, which aims to streamline multiple regulations, Bloomberg adds. The focus includes potential adjustments to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)<\/a>, the Taxonomy Regulation, and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive<\/a>, which governs supply chains.<\/p>\n

MORE FROM THE EU- CBAM to exempt majority of EU businesses: <\/strong>More than 80% of EU companies subject to the bloc\u2019s carbon border adjustment mechanism<\/a> (CBAM) will be exempt under a package of proposed reforms, the EU Tax Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra told the Financial Times<\/a> on Thursday. The move would free up 180k of the 200k affected businesses, limiting CBAM to the largest importers responsible for most of the emissions.<\/p>\n

#2- <\/strong>AfDB <\/strong>pitches <\/strong>critical minerals-backed currency mechanism to lower financing risks <\/strong>in Africa: <\/strong>The African Development Bank (AfDB) is proposing the launch of a new critical minerals-backed \u201cnon-circulating\u201d currency called the African Units of Account (AUA), according to a report (pdf)<\/a> published in collaboration with KPMG.<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>reasoning<\/strong>:<\/strong> The bank argues that any baskets of necessary or critical commodities can hold a more stable value than African countries\u2019 volatile currencies. With Africa holding almost a third of the world\u2019s critical minerals reserves, the bank hopes that backing national currencies with commodities comprised of critical minerals \u2014 whose value is expected to see a steady increase as the green transition spurs demand \u2014 would lower financing costs and risks in the continent, generating much-needed financing from foreign direct investments (FDI) in big transition projects. <\/p>\n

In context:<\/strong> Africa only receives 3% of global energy investments annually, in large part due to volatile currency markets and dependence on the USD for trade, deterring possible investors and financing institutions, the bank said.<\/p>\n

How would it work? <\/strong>The AUA would work similarly to the Gold Standard that pegs global currency to gold as a commodity. In that sense, local currency stability would be ensured by tying them to rare earth elements and critical metals, such as cobalt, copper, lithium, and manganese, pooled by mineral-rich nations. The mechanism will be managed by an African international financial institution as a settlement agent, which would be responsible for ensuring hard currency availability by managing the composition of its basket of critical minerals and trading them whenever needed to ensure currency and basket stability.<\/p>\n

WORTH READING- <\/p>\n

UAE\u2019s <\/strong>Sultan Al Jaber\u2019s<\/strong> global energy ambitions made headlines:<\/strong> UAE\u2019s Industry and Advanced Technology Minister Sultan Al Jaber penned a piece for Semafor<\/a> this week arguing for a reset in the global energy conversation. With energy demand projected to surge from 9 TW today to as much as 35 TW by 2050, Al Jaber calls for a pragmatic \u201cand-and\u201d approach that embraces a mix of lower-carbon gas, nuclear, hydrogen, and renewables instead of restricting energy options. \u201cFor too long, the world has been trapped in a false choice between energy access and sustainability,\u201d he said, pushing for policies that deliver both abundance and decarbonization.<\/p>\n

The UAE is already laying the groundwork for the shift<\/strong>, with Masdar\u2019s renewables investments spanning over 70 countries and Abu Dhabi\u2019s latest energy venture, XRG<\/a>, partnering with Exxon<\/a>, NextDecade<\/a>, and Covestro<\/a> on projects across hydrogen, liquified natural gas, and advanced materials. A first-of-its-kind UAE facility combining 5 GW of solar with 19 GWh of storage<\/a> also tackles one of renewables\u2019 biggest challenges: intermittency. The world needs not only \u201cmore energy, we need more positive energy,\u201d linking energy with progress, Jaber said.<\/p>\n

ALSO- Is XRG taking over some of Adnoc\u2019s US assets? <\/strong>Adnoc appears to have transferred its stakes in Texas-based Exxon Mobil\u2019s hydrogen project to its low-carbon energy investment arm XRG, according to Al Jaber\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> Adnoc reached an agreement to acquire a 35% stake<\/a> in Exxon Mobil\u2019s low-carbon hydrogen project last September, with the project launch set for 2029. It later transferred its stake<\/a> to its ammonia arm Fertiglobe.<\/p>\n
