Why Climatepeace

Energy is fundamental to prosperity, development and peace.

Climatepeace exists to help advance energy systems that are affordable, secure, resilient and environmentally sustainable.

The transition to a lower-carbon society must do more than reduce emissions. It must support economic development, strengthen energy security, improve resilience and create opportunities for communities and industry.

Climatepeace therefore explores practical pathways towards net zero, 100% renewable energy and the wider decarbonisation of society, while recognising that successful solutions must also make economic and technical sense.

How We Work

Connecting knowledge, opportunities and people

Climatepeace works across the space between research, industry, policy, investment and project development.

We identify emerging opportunities, examine technologies and energy-system developments, communicate important changes and help connect credible opportunities with the organisations and people capable of advancing them.

Our approach includes:

• research, analysis and energy-system thinking;

• press, advocacy and industry engagement;

• identifying and screening early-stage energy opportunities;

• considering land, grid, market, planning and community factors;

• connecting developers, IPPs, investors, specialists, authorities and communities;

• supporting promising ideas as they move towards further investigation and development.

Climatepeace seeks to complement established developers, investors, researchers and institutions rather than duplicate their roles.

What We Do

Press, Advocacy & Energy Insights

Climatepeace reports, analyses and comments on developments shaping the energy transition in South Africa, Europe and internationally.

Coverage connects technology, projects, markets and policy with the practical requirements of:

climate action • energy security • resilience • affordability • industrial development • economic sustainability

Topics include renewable energy, electricity grids, energy storage, mobility, hydrogen, sustainable fuels, fertilisers, carbon management, electricity markets, demand flexibility and emerging energy technologies.

Energy & Climate Solutions

Climatepeace examines integrated solutions across electricity, transport, industry, buildings and fuels.

This includes solar, wind, energy storage, hydropower, sustainable fuels, hydrogen and derivatives, grid development, flexible demand, sector coupling, clean mobility, industrial decarbonisation and future energy systems.

Our interest extends from residential and community-scale systems to major utility-scale and industrial developments.

Project Origination

Climatepeace identifies and preliminarily screens promising early-stage energy opportunities.

This may include consideration of:

• land and location;

• renewable-energy resources;

• grid access;

• planning and environmental constraints;

• communities and stakeholders;

• technology options;

• markets and potential partners.

Where an opportunity appears promising, Climatepeace can help bring together suitable developers, independent power producers, investors and specialist partners.

Climatepeace does not itself finance or construct projects. Its role is primarily to help identify, structure and de-risk opportunities during their early stages.

Who We Work With

Climatepeace welcomes engagement with:

Communities • Landowners • Municipalities • Government • Developers • IPPs • Investors • Technology Companies • Researchers • Universities • Journalists • Event Organisers • Industry Associations

We welcome project enquiries, research and policy briefings, interviews, collaboration, event invitations and information about technologies and developments contributing to the energy transition.
