Progress toward the transition to cleaner and more renewable energy sources is gathering pace at the same time as a wide range of new technologies, from artificial intelligence to the tools that make the widespread adoption of renewables possible. The growth of cutting-edge technologies and the shift to sustainable energy consumption are inextricably linked. At […]

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) offer a spectrum of advantages for long-term energy procurement, key among them being cost predictability, supply security, and enhanced access to financing. These agreements, particularly crucial for companies targeting net-zero emissions, enable the procurement of electricity from renewable sources, thereby playing a vital role in the decarbonization of operations. An emerging […]

This past year, we’ve seen the extent to which geopolitical struggles can cause energy markets to become unstable. Given that approximately 82% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels in 2022, as per the UK-based Energy Institute’s report, the energy industry is at a pivotal moment where environmental and energy sustainability considerations are converging […]

As corporate sustainability ambitions escalate and the public becomes increasingly vigilant against greenwashing, a growing number of companies find themselves grappling to achieve their environmental targets. A revealing report by Net Zero Tracker, a collaboration among environmental nonprofits and research organizations, indicates that less than 5% of companies with net-zero targets meet the minimum procedural […]

Fear of energy supply intermittency can be overcome by combining different sources of renewable energy. “Combining renewable energy with storage is a great solution that customers need,” said Alfredo Solar, General Manager of Atlas Renewable Energy in Chile. For Alfredo Solar, who has more than two decades of experience in the energy industry, this combination […]

Chile’s goal is to decarbonize its energy matrix. To achieve this development, energy transmission and storage infrastructure is essential. “There is no relevant client that does not demand 100% renewable energy and that it has the production certificates that accredit that the energy comes from renewable sources,” says Alfredo Solar, general manager of Atlas Renewable […]

The recently signed contract between Atlas Renewable Energy and Albras, the largest aluminum producer in Brazil, marks a significant milestone. By supplying solar energy, this contract has the potential to pave the way for similar agreements across the country. These agreements can successfully combine elements such as competitiveness, sustainability, predictability, supply assurance, and social development. […]

The food and agribusiness industry accounts for 35% of all jobs in the world and 10% of global GDP, according to the  Bain & Company study presented at the World Economic Forum in 2023, in addition to consuming about 30% of the planet’s energy production, according to data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena). […]

As the world continues to grapple with the urgent need to decarbonize its economies, one energy-intensive industry is quietly emerging as a vital area of focus in the transition to a low-carbon future: cement production. With global demand for cement projected to continue growing in the coming decades, the industry has the potential to make […]

In this article, we explore the potential of development finance institutions (DFIs) to support the growth of renewable energy and drive investment in the sector. Using Atlas Renewable Energy as a case study, we examine how innovative funding structures and strategic collaborations with DFIs make renewable energy projects more profitable and bankable while enabling the […]
