PERACOD, a co-operation programme between the Senegalese government and the German development agency GTZ managed by the Ministry of Energy, is aimed at increasing rural energy access through the deployment of domestic fuels and renewable energy (RE). Running from 2004 to 2015, the programme includes three main missions: PERADOC first advises regional and local institutions on how to improve energy policies, create suitable institutions to promote rural electrification, integrate private energy producers and stimulate energy generation from renewable sources. Second, the programme supports a sustainable and diversified domestic fuel supply in order to halt deforestation and improve indoor cooking facilities. The programme assists local populations in improving their wood consumption efficiency by subsidising improved charcoal that burns more cleanly and efficiently, and is less harmful to health. Third, PERACOD tackles the concrete needs of rural electrification. On a one hand, PERACOD targets electricity grid expansion and increased electrification rates from 16% in 2007 to 60% by 2022. In a partnership with the Rural Electrification Agency (ASER), PERACOD participates to the Rural Electrification Emergency Plan 2008-2012 that will connect 228 445 households by 2012. On the other hand, PERACOD supports small-scale and individual rural electrification initiatives by subsidising up to 80% of initial investment, with a major focus on Solar Home Systems. Eventually, PERACOD supports the development of income-generating energy activities. In villages benefiting from such project, energy saving bulbs have been distributed, solar lighting is deployed in public and community buildings -church, mosque, health and education centers- and thermal motors for mills and drills are progressively being replaced by RE functioning engines. The solar installed capacity in Senegal rose from 850 kWc in 2000 to 2,000 kWc in 2008, and no less than 2, 900 solar streetlight devices are to be installed.

Investors Are Racing to Find America's Next Rare Earth Winner

The Pentagon’s investment in MP Materials marked the biggest U.S. intervention in the rare earth industry in decades. The deal established a domestic champion for one of the world’s most strategically important supply chains and demonstrated that Washington is prepared to commit federal financial resources to critical mineral production. Mountain Pass is the only large-scale rare earth mine operating in the United States and one of the world’s largest producers of light rare earths. Its ore is rich in neodymium and praseodymium…

U.S. Backs Madagascar’s Rare Earths Project

The Trump administration has opened another front in the global rare earths race, backing a new project in Madagascar as Washington accelerates efforts to break China’s grip on the critical minerals that power everything from advanced weapons and AI infrastructure to oil refining and electric vehicles. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has committed up to $4.84 million to Harena Rare Earths’ (OTCQB: CRMNF) Ampasindava project in northern Madagascar. The funding will support pilot plant operations, metallurgical…

Low Gas Storage and Diesel Shortages Threaten Europe’s Winter Supply

Tightening global supply of oil and gas is putting Europe on course for a difficult winter this year due to the continent’s significant dependence on energy imports, despite energy transition ambitions. Gas in storage is much lower than it should be, and a diesel crunch is threatening fuel oil supply security for the heating season. It could turn into a perfect storm. The first warning signs emerged as early as March, as the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran crippled Qatar’s LNG export infrastructure, forcing the Gulf state to declare…

Cooling Emissions Are Set to Triple by 2050 as Heat Waves Intensify

Air conditioning has become a hot-button geopolitical issue as rising temperatures create dangerous conditions around the globe. Air-conditioning units are increasingly being considered as “essential infrastructure” as summer heat waves turn into a deadly and increasingly regular occurrence. But while air conditioning inarguably saves lives, in the short term, they are simultaneously contributing to global warming and distracting from other, more important approaches to managing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.…
