Antigua and Barbuda possesses abundant renewable energy resources, including considerable solar, wind, biomass and ocean potential. This Renewables Readiness Assessment (RRA) presents a set of clear and practical steps for these islands to maximise renewables in the energy mix.
This study from the IRENA Coalition for Action compares three 100% renewable energy scenarios and two net-zero emissions scenarios to identify common challenges and opportunities for a rapid and holistic shift towards more ambitious renewable energy targets.
This report proposes a comprehensive classification of energy sources and products to address the lack of standardised global energy statistics – an issue that continues to undermine effective policy-making and international collaboration in the context of the energy transition.
This report presents the outcomes of an IRENA workshop, held in São Paulo in March 2023, that explored potential pathways for the development of bioenergy in Latin America and issued key recommendations to facilitate the creation of a bioenergy market in the region.
The least-electrified SIDS are now at a crossroads to meet universal energy access. Instead of increasing access through imported fossil fuels, they can pursue decentralised renewable energy solutions.
A number of SIDS are adopting targets and policies to incorporate substantial amounts of renewable energy into their electricity supply mix.
This World Energy Transitions Outlook brief provides the latest tracking data and analysis of global progress towards the goal to triple global renewable power capacity by 2030.
Geopolitics of the energy transition: Critical materials provides comprehensive insights into the significance of critical materials, examining their associated geopolitical implications and offering recommendations for a sustainable and efficient global energy transition.
L’Agence internationale pour les énergies renouvelables (IRENA) vient de publier le rapport L’Afrique et les énergies renouvelables : la voie vers la croissance durable.
This statistical publication presents renewable power generation capacity statistics for the for the last decade (2010-2019).
The report covers transformation from gaseous hydrogen to a suitable form to allow its transport and storage, its use in the process of transportation itself and its reconversion from the carrier back to pure hydrogen.
This report provides an overview of energy transformation and implementation progress in small island developing states (SIDS) for the year 2021.
Mexico has a large and diverse renewable energy resource base. Given the right mix of policies, the country could attract large-scale investments to diversify its energy supply, with the potential to increase the share of modern renewables in total final energy consumption to 21% by 2030, up from 4.4% in 2010.
This series of papers, developed by the IRENA Coalition for Action, provides country-specific recommendations on how to enable the scaling up of renewable energy investments in high-potential markets.
