A data-driven analysis of global energy trends suggests many developing countries are moving directly from traditional biomass to electricity, skipping the fossil fuel stage that Western economies went through during industrialisation. The findings, presented in a video report by journalist Kira Schacht for Deutsche Welle, point to a possible 'leapfrogging' pattern in the global energy transition, with implications for emissions and development policy.
Why now: The idea that poorer nations could skip the fossil fuel era challenges assumptions about how development and energy transitions normally unfold.
