    • The Point Special: Road to net-zero emissions

      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.

    • Francesco La Camera (Irena): "Assistiamo a una drammatica mancanza di progressi sulla transizione green"

      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".

    • How storing energy without batteries could be key to N.S. giving up fossil fuels

      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 can help unlock promises at Egypt's COP27 - minister

      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%.

    • Solar recycling is broken, but there's a plan to fix it

      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.

    • What is green hydrogen and why do we need it? An expert explains

      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.

    • Why Hydrogen Will Likely Be The Gateway To Net-Zero

      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.
