This report offers a comprehensive view of the advantages and challenges of electric mobility development jointly with the development of electrical infrastructure for the Latin American context, emphasizing the importance of synchronizing these developments to facilitate the energy transition and leverage underlying new technologies.
This report provides answers to three critical questions: Why should developing countries pursue e-mobility? When does an accelerated transition to electric vehicles (EVs) make sense for developing countries? How can governments make this transition happen?
This report highlights the importance of sector coupling as a key source of flexibility that cities can explore to stabilise power grid operations when integrating high shares of variable renewable energy sources. It presents a range of sector coupling opportunities available for use in cities, including self-consumption of variable RE sources, the role of thermal […]
This document discusses how transitioning fossil fuel-powered urban mobility to renewable energy-based e-mobility can mitigate different environmental issues.
This study evaluates the progress that African countries have made in their transition to e-mobility up to 2021.
The e-Mobility Toolbox is an online information portal to support development, implementation and monitoring of innovative electric mobility solutions.
This report investigates different models for the deployment of e-bike fleets and charging/swapping infrastructures in sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights the potential advantages of battery swapping for riders, highlights emerging best practice for Batteries as a Service, and provides recommendations on policy, regulation and financing to support uptake of e-motorcycles and the growth of BaaS in […]
People need water, energy, and food to sustain their livelihoods, grow economies, and achieve sustainable development. The interactions between these resource sectors form the crux of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus assessments. This study analyses the WEF nexus of 54 African nations and identifies bottlenecks resulting from water, energy, or food insecurity.
This report calls for greater cross-sectoral collaboration to advance energy, water and food security in Africa, highlighting how synergies between the sectors of water, energy and food create a multiplier effect, ensuring a greater return of investment.
This policy brief responds to the pressing demand for harmonising the imperatives of a Just Energy Transition (JET) with the intricate dynamics of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus in the context of South Africa’s broader sustainable development imperatives.
