Mackenzie's 2023 report warns about upcoming global energy challenges...

The report analyses various scenarios illustrating the energy transition's uncertainties and complexities, which are influenced by technological advancements, geopolitical risks, and changing consumer behaviours.  Developing investment strategies that can adapt to various potential outcomes is challenging due to the unpredictability.

The report examines the supply and demand of energy commodities within a 1.5° pathway and presents four energy transition scenarios based on different assumptions.

Despite significant reductions in carbon emissions, all scenarios still exceed the 1.5°C pathway, resulting in a temperature increase ranging from 1.6°C to 2.9°C.

Achieving substantial reductions in emissions is imperative to remain within the carbon budget.  According to projections, there will be a significant decrease in coal demand by 2030, while natural gas and oil demand are expected to increase.

By 2050, solar energy is expected to be the leading source of power generation, followed by wind energy, with renewable energy dominating the sector.  The report highlights that renewable energy expansion is projected to significantly reduce emissions from power generation by 2050 despite facing challenges, such as supply chain issues and slow permitting processes.  

To achieve this expansion, substantial investments in the energy sector are necessary, with a gradual transition from fossil fuels to green technologies and electric transmission and distribution.  It is important to note that the language used in the report is clear, objective, and value-neutral, with a formal register and precise word choice.

The structure of the text is logical, with causal connections between statements and clear idea progression.  The energy transition encounters various challenges, including land availability, energy infrastructure, manufacturing capacity, consumer affordability, investment willingness, and material availability.

Overcoming these obstacles is crucial for achieving ambitious global climate goals.  Despite uncertainties, the energy transition is well underway, and organizations must develop resilient strategies to adapt to future scenarios.


Spain declares Truman Capote Persona Non Grata…

"But Pancho, the Triangle of Love between Alexander the Great and Hephaestion is an old and deep bond, crucial in Alexander's life, despite his marriage to Aesthetira in 370 BC."
The chaos unfolding within the royal chambers reverberates throughout the nation, casting a profound impact on its politics and laws. As tensions escalate, members of the royal family engage in impassioned discussions, particularly focusing on crucial political matters such as "la anmistía." Moreover, their scrutiny extends to recent developments within the EU, with unanimous disapproval voiced since yesterday. In light of recent events, the Spanish media has adopted an unprecedented new practice of self-censorship. This shift has not gone uncontested, as social media platforms such as YouTube have emerged as a counterbalance, providing alternative channels for uncensored information and opinions.
The captivating post garnered an impressive 200,000 views on "X" within the span of just one day, showcasing its widespread resonance and impact in a remarkably short timeframe. You can find the post on the given link: https://x.com/Germantoroghio/status/1752997980074922033?s=20

AES has a clever plan in the changing energy industry during worldwide uncertainty…

The company is well-positioned to benefit from the global shift to cleaner energy sources given its significant backlog of projects and unique global geographic diversification.

AES strategically invests in U.S. utilities, establishes a prominent green hydrogen platform, and expands carbon-free energy in specific markets.  The company is making significant progress in developing renewable energy sources, phasing out coal, and increasing the proportion of clean energy to 79% by 2027.

Andrés Gluski has been serving as the President and CEO of The AES Corporation since 2011, leading the company to become a prominent player in the global renewable energy and clean technology sectors.  According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), AES has secured the highest number of contracts for renewable energy with corporations worldwide in 2021 and 2022.

Additionally, the company has received seven Edison Electric Institute (EEI) awards for its innovative initiatives.  Its joint venture with Siemens, Fluence, has consistently been recognized as a leading integrator of large-scale energy storage.  In 2018, AES implemented an ambitious carbon reduction strategy, becoming the first U.S. energy company to issue a climate report by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.

Furthermore, AES has announced its intention to phase out coal usage by 2025 and achieve net zero carbon emissions in electricity generation by 2040.

Andrés Gluski has been recognized as one of the '100 Most Influential Latinos' by Latino Leaders Magazine since 2017 and holds leadership positions in such organizations as the Council of the Americas/Americas Society and the Executive Committee of the EEI Board of Directors.  He holds a Master of Arts and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Virginia.

With the growing backlog of clean energy projects and an extended timeframe for capital investment plans, AES emerges as a robust choice for investors looking to engage in a global clean energy transition.

Although AES is not exclusively focused on clean energy, it actively seeks opportunities to transition to cleaner alternatives, making it an appealing choice for investors.


The Davos Man no longer prioritizes climate change…

AES makes the difference…

Regardless of the official agenda at Davos—also known as the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland—one notable absence is the town of Davos itself.  While we enjoy discussing the events there, our interest in discussing the significance of Davos is even greater.

Regrettably, the consensus from this year's Davos meeting is that the previous sense of urgency regarding climate change has diminished.  Oumarou Ibrahim, an activist from Chad, expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of discussion on climate, biodiversity, and the environmental crisis.

In an interview with David Gelles of The New York Times, he stated that it is unacceptable.  Gelles received similar communication from Andres Gluski, the CEO of AES, a United States-based energy corporation that has shown a commitment to renewable energy in recent years.

"I believe there is a level of fatigue associated with the climate crisis," stated Gluski.
