The European Union’s climate policy chief Frans Timmermans has defended the controversial appointment of the United Arab Emirates’ oil chief as leader of the year-end COP28 climate conference, saying he was confident that Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber could steer the “tough cookies” of the global oil and gas sector towards the green energy transition.
India, committed to climate mitigation programme, today stands 4th globally in renewable energy installed capacity, 4th in wind power capacity and 5th in solar power capacity, as per International Renewable Energy Agency - Renewable capacity statistics 2023.
It is essentially a delaying tactic; a way to stir up a fierce debate that will detract from genuine solutions; a way to pretend to strive for net zero while essentially doing nothing.
IRENA señala que lo anterior se traduce en triplicar la inversión actual en la materia, de modo que 131 billones de dólares deben fluir hacia el sistema energético para el 2050, dando prioridad a las vías tecnológicas ya las necesidades de infraestructura compatibles con la meta climática.
AIM Congress 2024, a premier global investment platform, concluded its series of pre-event workshops on Monday, 6th May 2024. WIO Bank PJSC, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and State Bank Institute of Leadership hosted workshops exploring cutting-edge financial technologies and sustainable finance practices. Topics included blockchain applications, digital banking innovations, and renewable energy investment strategies.
Onuigbo emphasised this during a series of interventions he made during the 14th International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Assembly and IRENA Legislators Forum.
Reports from the International Renewable Energy Agency also suggest that to meet global temperature control goals, the cumulative installed capacity of global photovoltaic power generation needs to reach at least 5,200 gigawatts (GW) by 2030. This means that from 2024 to 2030, the average annual growth rate of cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity needs to reach 18.4 percent, and the average annual installed capacity added needs to be higher than 515 GW, roughly equivalent to China's current level of photovoltaic cell production.
The Saudi-listed firm signed the deal with the International Renewable Energy Agency to accelerate the adoption of clean energy worldwide.
Le bozze di documento finale, elaborate dagli sherpa prima di essere sottoposte oggi e domani al vaglio dei ministri, conterrebbero infatti una roadmap molto dettagliata e rapida per l'addio definitivo al più inquinante dei combustibili fossili.
To fight global warming, "an additional 7 terawatts of renewable energy capacity" is needed in the next five years to stay in sync with Paris Agreement commitments, Denis Depoux, global managing director at German consultancy Roland Berger, told South China Morning Post. The International Renewable Energy Agency in 2023 estimated the global renewable power capacity must grow by around 1,000 gigawatts a year through 2030 to keep the Paris targets alive.
Data from the International Renewable Energy Agency shows that prices for offshore wind have fallen by 59% between 2010 and 2022, while in places like the U.K. it now makes up a significant portion of the country’s energy.
Deployment of renewable energy in Africa is still far behind according to IRENA data.
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is seeking a new approach to energy security amidst geopolitical concerns.
Speaking at the Irena Assembly in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, Ms. Simson said Europe needed to invest heavily in transmission and distribution grids because renewable energy requires more flexibility.
The oil-rich UAE is seeking to reduce its dependence on exports of fossil fuels, the biggest contributor to global warming. Dubai hosted the COP28 climate summit last year, where a historic agreement was reached to establish a “loss and damage” fund for poorer nations and to “transition away” from fossil fuels. Abu Dhabi is currently hosting an assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency.
The International Renewable Energy Agency and UNHCR, among others, have explored using renewable energy to provide refugees with independent power sources. Access to affordable and sustainable energy is critical for displaced populations and host communities, and it is a domain that the climate tech community knows well.
Nasce il primo marketplace per incrociare offerta e domanda di impianti usati. Una soluzione utile specie per i Paesi in via di sviluppo.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) 1.5°C Scenario, the global fleet of electric passenger cars must surpass 2 billion by 2050 to meet climate targets.
China, Europe, and the U.S. each set solar installation records for a single year, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.
Electricity produced by new onshore wind turbines cost 3 euro cents (3 US-dollar cents) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in 2022 on average worldwide, according to a report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Tripling the installed capacity of renewable energy by 2030, for instance, would be a good thing. And yet, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency, that is more than double the commitments made so far by the large countries in the Group of 20.
The International Renewable Energy Agency commits to getting the Global South the financing it needs to green up — a pivotal element to reach 11,000 gigawatts by 2030. The agency will, therefore, focus on physical infrastructure, policy and regulation, and institutional and human capacity.
The price tag is eye-watering: Investment in energy-transition technologies were $1.3 trillion last year, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency, an intergovernmental group, and that needs to at least quadruple to avoid a level of warming that scientists say would be catastrophic.
While the path to carbon neutrality is based on electrification, 2.3 billion people in Africa and Asia still use technologies based on highly polluting fuels for cooking, with serious repercussions on the environment and health. The data is from the 2023 SDG Tracking report by Irena, the International Renewable Energy Agency led by Italian Francesco La Camera.
Figures from the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF) and the International Renewable Energy Agency similarly show sovereign wealth fund investments are stuck.
