This report evaluates the state of industrialisation in Africa, analyzing the causes of stagnation and premature deindustrialisation while modeling a 'Manufacturing scenario' to forecast the potential economic benefits of scaled-up investment in the sector by 2043.

This report by the Africa Policy Research Institute analyzes China's evolving role in Nigeria's clean energy transition. It details a shift from large-scale, debt-heavy infrastructure projects to smaller, commercially oriented 'BRI 2.0' initiatives focusing on distributed renewables, local manufacturing, and green hydrogen. The document outlines Nigeria's energy deficits, its policy targets for 2030 and 2060, and the strategic 'stacking' of Chinese, Western, and multilateral finance to achieve energy sovereignty and industrialization.

The automotive industry is a major driver of India's economy, contributing 7% of GDP and supporting 37 million jobs. To address the transport sector's role as the third-largest GHG emitter, India is transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs) with a target of 30% EV sales share by 2030, supported by schemes like FAME and PM e-DRIVE.

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) analyzes energy support measures in Indonesia from 2016 to 2024, highlighting a heavy fiscal reliance on fossil fuel subsidies that undermines the country's energy transition and carbon pricing efforts.

The report 'Mapping India’s Energy Policy 2026' analyzes the fiscal impact of energy subsidies in India, highlighting a significant imbalance where fossil fuel subsidies were three times higher than clean energy subsidies in FY 25. It examines how electricity subsidies burden state budgets and utilities, the fiscal vulnerability caused by LPG import dependence during geopolitical crises, and the impact of fuel excise duty cuts on government revenue and EV adoption.

A report by Ember detailing the rapid growth of battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales in Türkiye, which became Europe's fourth-largest market for new BEVs in 2025, while noting that the overall vehicle fleet remains dominated by fossil fuels.

This policy brief by Ember examines the financing landscape for ASEAN's energy transition, highlighting a significant investment gap and the varying roles of bilateral partners like China, Japan, and the United States. It argues that the Philippines' 2026 ASEAN Chairmanship provides a strategic opportunity to coordinate regional industrial strategies—such as Indonesia's nickel downstreaming and Viet Nam's solar manufacturing—to move the region up the clean energy value chain.

The Renewables Bulletin Latin America and the Caribbean Edition provides an update on the region's transition to clean energy, highlighting the growth of wind and solar, the role of critical minerals, and the challenges of energy efficiency and biodiversity protection. It specifically notes a recent shift in Venezuela's energy strategy and the region's overall progress relative to global averages.

The Indian States’ Electricity Transition (SET) 2026 report evaluates 21 Indian states across three dimensions: decarbonisation, power ecosystem readiness and performance, and market enablers. It finds that progress is fragmented, with no single state demonstrating consistently strong performance across all three areas, highlighting the need for coordinated, dimension-specific interventions to achieve a system-wide transition.

This industry brief by GreenCape examines the transition to electric two- and three-wheelers (E2W and E3W) for last-mile delivery in South Africa. It analyzes the economic viability, operational strategies, and environmental impacts of replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) motorcycles with electric micro-mobility solutions, highlighting the role of innovative financing and charging infrastructure in overcoming high upfront costs.

This research briefing by the Africa Policy Research Institute analyzes the Nigerian transportation sector's high carbon footprint and provides a roadmap for decarbonization. It highlights the sector's heavy reliance on fossil-fuel-powered road transport and recommends integrating climate-smart frameworks into national policy, diversifying transport modes, and adopting cleaner energy alternatives like CNG, LPG, and electric vehicles (EVs).

This technical brief outlines a strategic roadmap for Jharkhand's economic transition to align with India's net-zero goals, focusing on diversifying a mining-dependent economy through four high-potential green sectors to mitigate future revenue and employment losses.

The report 'The EV leapfrog' by Ember analyzes global electric vehicle (EV) trends in 2025, highlighting how emerging markets in Southeast Asia and Latin America are rapidly increasing EV adoption and overtaking advanced economies like the US and Japan in sales shares.

This briefing by RMI explains how 'flexible service connections' can accelerate the deployment of electric truck charging infrastructure by allowing fleets to access underutilized grid capacity without waiting for multi-year utility upgrades.

This report outlines a strategy for establishing a circular battery economy in India, focusing on reuse, repurposing, and recycling to capture a ₹75,500 crore market opportunity and enhance mineral security.

This RMI briefing outlines the roles of key countries and regions—China, Brazil, India, Southeast Asia, and the United States—in the global energy transition as they approach COP30 in Belém, Brazil. It highlights the shift from high-level commitments to tangible actions, such as large-scale renewable deployment, the development of low-carbon shipping hubs, and subnational leadership in the US.

This report by Ember examines Thailand's need to accelerate its clean energy transition to maintain global competitiveness and support the growth of electric vehicle (EV) and data centre sectors. It highlights the tension between rising electricity demand from these sectors and the country's carbon reduction targets, suggesting that a clean power system is essential to attract foreign investment and meet the sustainability requirements of global tech companies.

The Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) proposes the Automotive Component Technology Upgradation Financing Facility (AC-TUFF) to support Indian micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in transitioning from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicle (EV) value chains. The report identifies a significant investment gap and proposes a tiered capital stack combined with technical assistance to enable MSMEs to upgrade technology and processes.

This report analyzes the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed in July 2025, on the advanced energy manufacturing sector in the United States. While the act provides tax certainty and introduces 'full expensing' for capital investments, it creates significant headwinds for solar, wind, and electric vehicle (EV) sectors through the early termination of clean energy tax credits and stricter foreign entity of concern (FEOC) restrictions regarding Chinese supply chains. The report suggests that future investment should prioritize grid equipment, geothermal, nuclear, and next-generation energy technologies where domestic demand continues to exceed capacity.
