Energy transition

The transition to a decarbonised energy system is a key step towards a net zero world. We examine topics such as financing Africa’s and Europe’s decarbonisation, energy infrastructure, green industrialisation, and the geopolitics and external dimensions of EU policies – including the Global Gateway and the European Green Deal.

Green hydrogen: The future of African industrialisation?

As the world crosses peak hydrogen hype, can the hydrogen economy be a game-changer for African industrialisation or is it extractivism under a green veil? Alfonso Medinilla and Koen Dekeyser examine the latest developments in green hydrogen for exports and industrial use, and explore the role African economies can play in the global hydrogen economy.
