Alternative Energy – Biofuels: The Game-Changer Set to Replace Fossil Fuels and Coal
The world is accelerating into an era of clean energy that is cheaper and growing faster than ever before. This transition is not just about technology—it is about laying a new foundation for global economic development and energy security.

 
Types of Alternative Energy
Renewable Energy: Solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal
Non-renewable Alternatives: Natural gas, coal, nuclear → Coal may not meet the ZERO EMISSION target
 
Why Alternative Energy Matters
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions → Slow down global warming
Reduce dependence on crude oil → Strengthen energy security
Align with Net Zero Emissions goals
 
Solar Cells: The Rising Star of Solar Power
In 2024, nearly 600 GW of new installations worldwide
China leads both in technology and production of solar cells used globally
New N-type (TOPCon) technology is replacing older models → Next-generation batteries store more energy, and solar panels capture sunlight more efficiently
 
Wood Pellets: Biomass on the Rise
Global demand (2025–2026): 44–50 million tons per year
Europe consumes the most (72% of global demand)
Japan and South Korea import massive volumes to replace coal → Mainly for power plants
Vietnam has risen to become the world’s second-largest exporter
Average price early 2026: $204–221 per ton (approx. 3,100–4,950 THB/ton in Thailand)
 
Alternative Energy Trends in Key Countries
China: Installed over 360 GW of new renewable energy in one year, accounting for 56% of total electricity capacity. Targeting carbon neutrality by 2060.
European Union (EU): Nearly 50% of electricity from renewables. Aiming for 42.5% by 2030 under the REPowerEU plan.
United States: Wind and solar expected to generate 17–19% of electricity in 2025. Growth continues but faces policy and land-use constraints.
Japan: Expanding renewables alongside nuclear and LNG to ensure energy stability.
South Korea: Targeting 20% renewable energy share, cooperating with Japan to secure clean energy.
Thailand: Under PDP 2024, aiming for 51% renewable energy share by 2037. Focus on solar, wind, and biomass, with Direct PPA projects to attract foreign investors.
ASEAN: Targeting 23% of primary energy from renewables by 2025. While short of target, renewables are expected to surpass fossil fuels by 2030.
 
Market Overview
Wood Pellets: Tight market, strong demand
Solar Cells: Competition driven by new technology
The world is entering an era of clean, affordable, and fast-growing energy. Every nation is accelerating its transition to achieve Net Zero.

“Africa: The Future Resource Treasure — Africa Rising & Copperbelt Awakening, The Turning Point of Global Industry and the New Supply Shift in Mineral Markets”   SO OK TRADING | 5 July 2026
Africa: The Future Resource Treasure LME • NON‑FERROUS • RARE EARTH • PRECIOUS METAL SO OK TRADING | 5 July 2026 Africa — a continent rich in mineral resources and industrial metals, now standing at the center of global demand in the era of clean energy and advanced technology. From copper in the Copperbelt (DRC–Zambia), with the world’s highest ore grades, to cobalt, lithium, and rare earths powering EV batteries and next‑generation energy systems, Africa is becoming the world’s supply frontier. “The Kamoa‑Kakula mine in Congo produced 388,838 tonnes of copper in 2025 — a new high‑quality deposit under global spotlight.” The race among global powers is intensifying — China, the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and Japan are all investing heavily to secure strategic mineral supply chains across Africa. Yet despite its vast resources, Africa faces critical logistics bottlenecks: copper cathode exports delayed at borders for days, truck shortages, and high security risks. New infrastructure projects — railways and ports in Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa — are now being accelerated to unlock smoother trade routes.
