Cleantech: Solar, Wind, Hydrogen, Storage and Carbon Removal in Emerging Asia, Latin America and Africa

Abstract

Clean technology across emerging Asia, Latin America and Africa has moved from donor-funded pilots into deliberate industrial strategy. This article examines five cleantech segments, solar manufacturing, offshore wind, green hydrogen, battery storage and direct air capture, in two registers at once: policy framework and investment position. It finds value capture migrating upstream from generation toward manufacturing, processing and removal credits, while coordination failures around grids, offtake and finance remain the binding constraint. For investors the decisive signal is regulatory durability, not resource quality. The policy choices made now will determine which markets industrialise and which export raw electrons.
