The return of Donald Trump to the presidency could disrupt the ongoing shift towards green energy, potentially reversing investments in clean energy technologies. While two-thirds of the world's recent energy investments have focused on renewables, concerns grow that his policies will reignite fossil fuel investments. However, there remains optimism as East Asian economies continue to heavily invest in green technologies, with substantial increases in research related to clean energy and international collaborations focusing on improving battery performance between 2019 and 2024.
"The turmoil prompted by the return of Donald Trump as US president has disrupted many processes, not least the transition to green energy, threatening progress towards renewables."
"Data from the International Energy Agency illustrate the clear direction of travel, with two-thirds of the world's US$3-trillion investment in energy last year going on clean-energy technologies and infrastructure."
