The office of IRENA’s Innovation and Technology Centre (IITC) in Bonn has officially been inaugurated during a symbolic “handover of keys” by the German Federal Government to the Agency.

IRENA Innovation Week 2023 will highlight tangible solutions to decarbonise energy intensive sectors.

Green hydrogen emerges as key complement to make the most of the massive renewable production.

Direct and indirect electrification can be brought into markets to decarbonise industries that require thermal energy to activate chemical reactions or physical transformations.

The hybrid heat pump solution will supply most of the heat to generate immediate savings in energy costs and reduce the need to increase the peak electricity load on the grid. The ability to switch between two energy carriers adds resilience to the energy system and can reduce costs when using smart controls that factor in energy prices.

Smart charging helps manage demand for electricity, and the Electric Vehicles (EVs) fleet acts as a giant battery to store and supply renewable energy.

Key innovation that converts the batteries on wheels into energy storage systems to enable more wind and solar PV electricity integrated into electricity grids unlocks a powerful virtuous circle.

IRENA organised a high-level ministerial roundtable to facilitate a conversation between the maritime shipping industry and governments on the necessary priority actions to decarbonise the shipping sector. 

Costa Rican cities like Cartago, Grecia, and Guanacaste have witnessed a remarkable increase in e-mobility infrastructure, thanks to a robust policy framework.

The new IRENA report underscores the need for power system structures that are fit for the renewable era.

The IRENA-EPO joint report uses patent statistics to reveal the trends and dynamism in the field of hydrogen that can be produced using renewable electricity via electrolysis.

Although vulnerable to the severest impacts of a warming planet, SIDS have historically contributed the least to global carbon emissions.

World Energy Transitions Outlook 2022 outlines priority actions till 2030 to stay on a 1.5°C pathway to sustainability, climate resilience and energy security.

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.

The joint workshop gathered speakers and energy experts from IRENA, the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) and State Grid Energy Research Institute (SGERI).
