W/216 GW of Africa’s planned wind + solar tied to hydrogen for export, the stakes are high & much still unproven.
Most projects are early-stage or speculative, raising questions about who benefits & what actually gets built.

🌐 The latest update to GEM’s Global #Bioenergy Power Tracker shows Northern Europe continues to grow, maintaining its strong lead in combustion.
But as capacity expands, so do concerns from emissions to health to environmental impacts.
