The event offers a unique opportunity for industries in the region to learn about latest developments in hydrogen technologies, network within the expert community and form valuable contacts.
The event aims to discuss the challenges that the industry players are facing for green hydrogen development as well as solution pathways.
The Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA) adopted the UNEZA Roadmap to 2030, which targets a total increase of renewable energy capacity within their portfolios to 749GW by 2030.
The International Renewable Energy (IRENA) as APRA’s secretariat organised a plenary session on the last day of its 14th Assembly in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, emphasising on the diverse circumstances of African countries and regions, advocating for a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all strategy.
This report, developed under the IRENA Collaborative Framework on the Geopolitics of Energy Transformation, provides new analysis to elicit informed and constructive dialogue on the evolving nature of energy security in the era of renewables.
The transition away from fossil fuels to renewables requires a new interpretation of the concept of energy security, according to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) published today.
This report from IRENA's Collaborative Framework on Green Hydrogen assesses progress in green hydrogen deployment, including the development of green hydrogen supply and demand structures.

The International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) fifth IRENA Youth Forum: The New Generation of Decision Makers will convene in April 2024 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates at the margins of the fourteenth session of the IRENA Assembly.
The 14th session of the IRENA Assembly will be held in two parts, on an exceptional basis. Part 1 will be virtual are will take place on 15 January 2024. Part 2 will take place in-person on 16 - 18 April 2024 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Under the theme “Outcome of COP28: Infrastructure, Policies, and Skills for Tripling Renewables and Accelerating the Energy Transition”, the 2024 Assembly will explore priorities for the energy transition and immediate steps to accelerate progress towards tripling renewable power capacity.
The 2024 edition of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Youth Forum, themed ‘Youth at the Core of a Just Energy Transition: Skills, Empowerment and Innovation', aimed to not only foster discussions but also equip young participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to shape a more sustainable and inclusive energy future.
To identify challenges and solutions in enhancing the role of public finance and policies in addressing energy access needs, IRENA convened a roundtable session during the second part of its 14th Assembly in Abu Dhabi.

By utilising the global stage through international frameworks like the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway for instance, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are exemplifying leadership in sustainable development and climate action.
The third meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Critical Materials for the Energy Transition (CFCM) will take place virtually on Thursday, 4 April 2024.
Drawing from diverse experiences in the renewables sector, including key insights from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)'s Energy Transition Accelerator Financing (ETAF) platform, this article elucidates essential factors that appeal to investors and identifies pitfalls that can hold them back from investing.
The webinar will feature presentations of key findings from each report, as well as insight from multi-actors experts on the progress, challenges, mechanisms, and potential benefits of the above two SIDS energy transition contexts accelerating renewable energy scale up.
Renewable Capacity Statistics 2024 released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) shows that 2023 set a new record in renewables deployment in the power sector by reaching a total capacity of 3 870 Gigawatts (GW) globally.
A tripling of renewable energy capacity will require conditions conducive to accelerated progress. The establishment of supporting infrastructure, robust policy frameworks and the development of institutional and human capacities are key enablers of the accelerated transition. In addition, international co-operation and scaling up finance for developing countries is a key priority.
This publication presents renewable power generation capacity statistics for the past decade (2013-2023) in trilingual tables.
The 8th meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Ocean Energy/Offshore Renewables (CFOR) highlighted the role of ports/harbors in facilitating accelerated offshore wind deployment, with a focus on polices and best practices in serving as potential energy hubs.
