The world’s energy system is facing profound changes. Innovations in the way energy is generated, distributed and used, as well as the ways in which energy systems operate and link with wider infrastructure, are paving the way for completely new landscapes around the world.
IOREC, organised by IRENA, is the global platform for sharing experience and best practices on design and implementation of enabling policies, tailored financing schemes, innovative business models and technology applications for stand-alone and mini-grid systems. IOREC 2018 presented a key opportunity to discuss the measures necessary to accelerate off-grid systems deployment, and highlight their role in meeting several Sustainable Development Goals.
An action-focused gathering of around 250 leading companies, innovators and policy makers from across IRENA’s diverse global membership, convened to explore how innovations in enabling technologies, business models, system operations and sector coupling can accelerate the renewable power transition.
IRENA participated in the Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week (LACCW) in Salvador, Brazil. Regional Climate Weeks serve as a critical stepping stone to the UN Secretary General’s Climate Summit 2019 and gathers diverse stakeholders in the public and private sectors around a common goal of addressing climate change.
GREF 2019 focused on pathways towards carbon-neutrality by 2050, analysing the current status of renewable energy policies and decarbonisation pathways from different perspectives and highlight the role of hydrogen and power-to-x pathways — focusing on improving the understanding of hydrogen ‘as a low-carbon technology option’ and analysing the existing barriers and solutions needed to accelerate its deployment.
This webinar aimed to present key findings from the IRENA’s report Transforming small island power systems, share main takeaways from several grid assessment studies, and launch the Agency’s new report on “Quality Infrastructure for Smart Mini-grids”.
The International Energy Workshop is one of the leading conferences for the international energy modeling research community. In a world of environmental and economic constraints, energy modeling is an increasingly important tool for addressing the complexity of energy planning and policy making.
The Ninth Clean Energy Ministerial / Third Mission Innovation Ministerial (CEM9/MI-3) were co-hosted by the European Union together with Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Nordic Council of Ministers.
