Check out this @ResearchCcg paper by our researchers @alycialeonard, Aniq Ahsan, @fcharbonnier_ & @StephiHi 💪⚡ Will the resource curse affect renewable energy? Find out - it's open access! @oxengsci @OxfordSparks
What is a resource curse, and how do you avoid it?
Renewable energy development can lead to climate compatible growth, but there are also risks.
New CCG research provides a framework to ensure #renewable #energy leads to positive outcomes

ALT A simple infographic for the paper "The Resource Curse in Renewable Energy: A framework for risk assessment". The infographic gives a few examples of renewables (hydropower, wind energy, solar power) and the different risk factors that exist (economic dependence, technical dependence, damage to local flora & fauna).

Always great to see more #renewableenergy developments - but we hope Octopus and Xlinks have planned ways to avoid a renewable #resourcecurse☀️⚠️⚡ Not sure what that is? Check out our paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.esr.2022.1…

Today we launch our report on #GreenHydrogen for #Development 👇🏻🟢🌍
With the recent volatility in #gasprices, #hydrogen is more relevant than ever. Find out about future supply and demand trends below ⬇️
Shout out to my co-authors, @oxengsci & @EPGOxford
What is the future for green hydrogen?
Can it be an alternative to natural gas?
The new #CCG report examines key issues, such as demand for green hydrogen, future uses, comparison with other production methods, and its cost-competitiveness.

"People’s voices, aspirations and dreams – less readily accessible – must be taken just as seriously [...] not only for planning but also for progress monitoring"
👆A great read on the importance of aligning goals! This shows exactly why @RuralSenses is needed in this world🌐
Development goals must be contextualised. They must be embedded in a firm understanding of how people live and, more importantly, how they would like to live. bit.ly/3wxRFXr
