The eighth meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Green Hydrogen addressed the barriers stakeholders face when entering and building up supply chains.

During the Second Plenary Meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Critical Materials for the Energy Transition, members countries of the Framework highlighted the challenges and key areas of cooperation to further explore within the Collaborative Framework.

The virtual meeting was attended by nearly 40 participants from Members and States in Accession to discuss the intersection of geopolitics and energy transformation set against a backdrop of the global energy crisis.

The virtual meeting was attended by 57 participants from 32 Members and States in Accession as well as representatives of the industry and international organisations.

“International cooperation and Long-term Energy Scenarios (LTES) are critical to achieving high renewables integration in the energy system,” says Francesco La Camera, IRENA Director-General.

Co-facilitated by Costa Rica, the meeting drew interest from more than 60 participants from 35 Members and States in Accession to discuss critical challenges and potential solutions pertaining to the advancement of sustainable hydropower globally.

IRENA held its first meeting of the “Collaborative Framework on Project Facilitation to Support the Energy Transition”.

The Collaborative Framework on Green Hydrogen witnessed a high level of engagement by private actors and government representatives from member countries who discussed the role of international hydrogen trade.

A new IRENA platform has been launched to exchange knowledge, best practices, and coordinate actions to ensure that the scarcity of minerals and materials does not threaten the accelerated deployment of renewable energy.
