7th Meeting of the Collaborative Framework on Ocean Energy/Offshore Renewables
The 7th CFOR Meeting was held on 26 October, 2023.
The 7th CFOR Meeting was held on 26 October, 2023.
The meeting aimed to promote an open dialogue and sharing of experiences on cross-sectoral alignment on renewable energy solutions with an emphasis on the nexus with water, agri-food and health sectors.
The 6th CFOR Meeting focused on presenting the final versions of the “Scaling up investment in Ocean Energy Technologies” and “Enabling Frameworks for Offshore Wind Scaleup: Innovations in Permitting” Briefs.
This webinar will share insights into demand and market growth projections of rare earth elements for EVs and wind turbines.
The technical paper on Critical Materials for the Energy Transition emphasises that an accelerated energy transition requires a growing supply of critical materials, with Chapter 7 of the IRENA’s World Energy Transition Outlook 2022 further elaborating on these materials. IRENA continues to publish technical papers on groups of critical materials: the first one focuses on lithium and this second paper focuses on rare earth elements.
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the geopolitical drivers and potential consequences of the development of clean hydrogen value chains.
This paper discusses the global lithium industry structure and major players while reflecting on current costs changes and their further implications, the role of the governments could play to de-risk lithium supply and the opportunities innovation can play in reducing demand growth.
This paper will assess how the growth of renewables will put critical materials at the centre of the energy transformation, with the objective of highlighting the criticalities related to the sector and of identifying how technological developments and innovation can positively reduce geopolitical risks.
Based on a survey across the industry, this study tracks women’s employment, gender policies and perceptions of gender bias throughout the wind energy value chain.
