2013 Minerals Yearbook: Angola
The mineral sector, in particular the petroleum industry, played an important role in Angola’s economy. Angola accounted for about 2.1% of world petroleum output in 2013 and was the second-ranked petroleum producer in Africa after Nigeria.
2013 Minerals Yearbook: Bolivia
Bolivia is a globally important supplier of bulk ores and mineral concentrates. In 2013, the country was estimated to have produced 8% of the world’s total mine output of tin; silver, 5%; antimony and zinc, 3% each; and lead and tungsten, about 2% each. Most of the volume of Bolivia’s mineral production was exported in raw form by rail to ports on the coasts of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru and then shipped to processing facilities located in Asia, Europe, and North America. Bolivia’s mineral resources have not been fully explored or developed. In addition to the minerals listed above, Bolivia is thought to have globally relevant resources of cadmium, chromium, gold, indium, iron ore, lithium, nickel, palladium, platinum, potash, and tantalum
2014 Emerging issues in China Power and Delivery Sector
The traditional economic pattern of China Power & Delivery sector has been facing challenges this year including regulation, strategic, financial constraints in different levels, and the sharp rise of the cost combined with the flat power demand. All factors above are leading the industry into a potentially destructive cycle.
Among many trends worthwhile to explore, this report focuses on the future of nuclear power, turning point of renewable energy, the subversion of smart grid, overseas mergers and acquisitions of China power & delivery enterprises, and the new challenges under the new risks, because these fields mentioned above are closely related with the future strategies and operations of the Power & Delivery enterprises, and experiencing major changes with influences on the industry blueprint.
With the global nuclear renaissance and emerging nuclear power countries, the competitions in nuclear resources and overseas nuclear market have been severely intensified. After adjustment, renewable energy sector is expected to bottom out in 2014, with the joint impacts of market, capital, and technologies.The launch of China emissions trading also triggers huge potential of China carbon market. The Power & Delivery enterprises need to be ready, because the construction of smart grid and the reform of power market are going to change the power sector ecosystem and the interaction pattern between companies and users. The overseas mergers and acquisitions of power and delivery enterprises will continue to be active and mainly focus on derived renewable energy assets. With China economy stepping into the shifting period, the political and financial environment is both full of uncertainties.
The Power & Delivery enterprises will face the new risks in respect of compliance, capital and among others.

2015 Macroeconomic report: How Can Latin America and the Caribbean Navigate the Global Economy
Latin America and the Caribbean is expected to grow at only a modest pace in the coming years given relatively low growth across the globe. While the United States is now growing more strongly implying a likely rise in U.S. interest rates, discussed extensively in last year’s report, risks to growth persist in Europe and Japan, and growth may also decline more than anticipated in China. Chapter 2 explores the implications for the region of a baseline and a more negative scenario for European, Japanese and Chinese growth. A positive shock to U.S. growth, coupled with continued low oil prices, would be a net benefit for the region and provide a boost to countries in the Caribbean and Central America

A Clash of Titans: Vestas, Siemens and the Future of Wind Power
Denmark and Danish companies have shown that environmental policies and economic growth can go hand in hand. As the first country in the world, Denmark has decided to lead the transition to a green growth economy and become entirely independent of fossil fuels by 2050. Today, more than a third of Danish electricity consumption is covered by wind power. For decades, Danish companies and research institutions have developed solutions to make this transition possible. The solutions are already here and ready to inspire.
A Closer Look at the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB)
Crude petroleum is Nigeria’s most important non-renewable energy source, contributing over 90 percent of the country’s foreign exchange earnings and about 80 percent of recurrent and capital expenditure.
A Functional Hierarchy for South Australia's Land Transport Network
South Australia’s transport corridors are under increasing pressure to cater for growth in travel demand due to an expanding population and economy. This report has been developed to describe a functional hierarchy that identifies which corridors are important for different modes of transport. It will guide the use of road and rail space to improve safety and efficiency for users of the transport network.
A Post-Sanctions Iran and the Eurasian Energy Architecture
The removal of international sanctions on Iran carries the potential to radically restructure the Eurasian energy architecture and, as a consequence, reshape Eurasian geopolitics. The Euro-Atlantic community’s interests will be most impacted by Iran’s choice of export destinations for its natural gas delivered by pipeline. By defining the pattern of major energy flows through long-term supply contracts and costly pipeline infrastructure investment, the pattern of Iran’s piped gas exports in the immediate post-sanctions period will influence the development of both China’s “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) initiative and the European Union’s “Eastern Neighborhood” policy.

Against the Grain
IS THE global fad for quinoa a bane or boon to the peasants of the Andes? For centuries they were more or less the only people to grow or eat the stuff. Dieticians in the rich world have known how nutritious it is for a long time: in 1993 a study by NASA, America’s space agency, stated: “While no single food can supply all the essential life-sustaining nutrients, quinoa comes as close as any other in the plant or animal kingdom.” But it took adulation from the likes of Oprah Winfrey (who in 2008 included it in her 21-day “cleanse” diet) to give the grain global appeal. The UN even branded 2013 the International Year of Quinoa.
