- South Africa's electricity crisis (load shedding) leading to higher energy costs and increased Scope 1 emissions.
- High CO2e emissions per kWh of electricity in South Africa compared to other countries.
- Increased frequency and intensity of adverse weather events (flooding, heavy rains, droughts, extreme heat, natural disasters).
- Carbon taxation in South Africa and Romania, with projected increases in the future.
- Transition to New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) potentially impacting demand for lead-acid batteries.
