The main difference between EVs and hybrid cars is how they are powered. An EV gets its power exclusively from electricity, while hybrid cars – as the name suggests – run on a mix.

Mitigating climate change and increasing domestic food production can help to address food insecurity and rising prices.

The reality is that natural gas is an uncertain investment. Many different variables affect the price of gas on the international trading markets.

The place of natural gas in a clean energy future is hotly debated. But, there is a simple answer to whether natural gas is renewable.

Climate change and supply chain disruptions impacted food availability and affordability in 2022, causing double-digit inflation for many key items.

Spiralling food prices are driving inflation and squeezing household budgets. This is exacerbating poverty, hunger and debt.

Compressed natural gas (CNG) is promoted as a cleaner fuel alternative, but also comes with risks to the climate and health.

The Kyoto Protocol made history in 1997 as the first major international effort to slow climate change.

While the world plans for a future without gas, an upsurge in new gas projects in South Africa is likely a “costly mistake”.

Analysts agree that natural gas is too risky for South Africa, and it is not needed for the energy transition from coal to clean.

South Africa’s cabinet has approved the $8.5 billion (R155 billion) plan to help the country transition away from fossil fuels.
