Following a successful IRENA Innovation Week 2018 in Bonn, Germany that brought together a diverse group to explore and share insights into the many common challenges and opportunities of innovation solutions for renewable power integration, together with the great interest from many regional players, a series of regional Innovation Days will be organized across the globe.
How countries can overcome trade and quality infrastructure obstacles to improve access to affordable and reliable renewable energy goods and services while supporting trade, economic diversification and development.
EU Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) will take place in Brussels and IRENA will be present, widely contributing to the 3-day policy conference.
ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, has a target to cut carbon emissions in half by 2050. While efficiency improvements like more fuel-efficient aircraft and better air traffic logistics can bring about half of the emissions reductions required, the other half will have to come through renewable jet fuel. So if we hope to decarbonise the transport sector, we will need to have large amounts of biojet.
