Asia is sweltering! Temperatures in India and Thailand have hit over 40℃. Climate change forces us to accelerate the transition toward renewables. Can China and the rest of the world do more? CGTN anchor Liu Xin sat down with Mr. Francesco La Camera, director-general of the International Renewable Energy Agency.
"La finestra di opportunità per centrare gli obiettivi di Parigi si sta chiudendo. E al momento siamo assolutamente fuori tabella di marcia." Il direttore dell'Agenzia internazionale per le energie rinnovabili Francesco La Camera.
Intervista al d.g. dell'Agenzia internazionale per le energie rinnovabili: "Nel mondo si dovrebbe investire quattro volte più. L'Italia non sarà mai un produttore rilevante di rinnovabili, ma può essere hub nel trasporto di energie nuove e centro logistico europeo dei minerali critici, se sfrutta la posizione di ponte naturale verso l'Africa".

The global energy transition received a significant boost recently when G20 leaders in New Delhi adopted the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA’s) recommendations on the need to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030.
A recent analysis by the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) shows that the adoption of renewable power in Africa since the year 2000 has led to $19 billion (Sh2.8 trillion) in fossil fuel cost savings within the electricity sector.
IRENA DG Francesco La Camera commented on the significance of the G20’s announcement on the road to COP28 and priority areas for the energy transition to realise the goal to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030.
In an interview with Sky News Arabia, IRENA Director General Francesco La Camera highlighted the significance of the G20 announcement on tripling renewable energy capacity to reduce carbon emissions, and the priority areas of action on the road to COP28.
IRENA DG Francesco La Camera emphasised that this marks a significant step to step up decarbonisation efforts.
In an exclusive interview with The Guardian (Nigeria) ahead of the African Climate Week in Nairobi, Kenya, Director General of IRENA, Francesco La Camera pointed that the gap between climate pledges and climate action remains a matter of concern.
Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), highlighted the agency's preparedness to participate in the Africa Climate Week (ACW) 2023, which will take place on September 4-8 2023 in Nairobi, hosted by the government of Kenya.
Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency, takes Reuters Plus through the collaborations and frameworks necessary to make a sustainable future a reality.
Según los cálculos del sector se necesita una inversión de 4.000 millones de euros al año hasta 2030.
Il numero uno dell’Agenzia internazionale per le energie rinnovabili fa il punto sulla transizione a poche settimane dalla COP28. “Una sfida monumentale, tutti devono partecipare”, dice a Sky TG24.
The Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Francesco La Camera, said Wednesday that the production of green energy must be tripled by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
In this episode of The Agenda, Juliet Mann looks at whether the world is ready for a post-fossil fuel world – and whether there's still a need for investment in oil and gas.
Francesco La Camera, Director-General at the International Renewable Energy Agency, discusses the challenges for Asia to transition to renewable energy on "Bloomberg Markets Asia".
Mr Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), tells CNA’s Asia Now it is a concerning trend that world leaders are not meeting targets in cutting carbon emissions.
Francesco La Camera of the International Renewable Energy Agency says that the multilateral financial system must work to attract private capital into investing in building up the infrastructure for renewable energy sources.
A researcher at the Nova Scotia Community College is working to store thermal energy as a way for the province to transition away from coal-fired power. In a laboratory at the Nova Scotia Community College sit two water tanks bristling with copper wires. They don't necessarily look like a piece of renewable energy technology. But they may nonetheless play a role in reducing one of the province's greatest sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Another option involves using phase-change materials, which store energy by, for instance, moving from liquid to solid. A 2020 report by the International Renewable Energy Agency estimated the global market for thermal energy storage like phase-change materials could triple by 2030.
Innovative financing tools provide a route to ensuring that commitments made at the COP26 climate summit are converted to action as Egypt plans for the follow-up event next year, the country's international cooperation minister said. Egypt, which has high potential for solar and wind power, recently brought forward a goal of producing 42% of its electricity generation from renewable sources to 2030 from 2035, The International Renewable Energy Agency has suggested Egypt could raise the target to 53%.
A new Department of Energy-funded research project seeks to solve one of the biggest challenges with solar power — what to do with solar panels after they die. Solar energy is key to solving climate change, but for the technology itself to be sustainable it needs to be recyclable. Unfortunately, when a solar panel dies today, it’s likely to meet one of two fates: a shredder or a landfill. While less than half a million tons of solar waste existed globally in 2016, the International Renewable Energy Agency has projected that by 2030, that figure could rise to 8 million tons. By 2050, we could be throwing out 6 million tons of dead solar panels every year, nearly as many as we’re installing.
The time is right to tap into hydrogen’s potential to play a key role in tackling critical energy challenges. The recent successes of renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles have shown that policy and technology innovation have the power to build global clean energy industries. Green hydrogen could be a critical enabler of the global transition to sustainable energy and net zero emissions economies. We asked Dr Emanuele Taibi, Head of the Power Sector Transformation Strategies, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to explain what green hydrogen is and how it could pave the way towards net zero emissions.
When Plug Power Inc. hosted its grand opening of a fuel cell and electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Rochester, N.Y this year, it explicitly said that hydrogen produced from clean energy would be the next big thing — and something just around the corner. Indeed, the Plug Power Innovation Center will ramp up production of its electrolyzers that are critical to decarbonizing the global economy. Furthermore, the International Renewable Energy Agency says that when hydrogen is produced, about 70% of the energy content is lost. However, that inefficiency is irrelevant if hydrogen is created from solar power that is abundant and free and it would become cheaper than prevailing fuel sources. The agency notes that hydrogen supply costs are now 1.5 times to 5 times that of natural gas per unit of energy.
