IRENA Innovation Week 2025 brings together global leaders to explore renewable energy and digitalisation innovations for the energy transition
IRENA Innovation Week 2025 brings together global leaders to explore renewable energy and digitalisation innovations for the energy transition.
IRENA Innovation Week 2025 brings together global leaders to explore renewable energy and digitalisation innovations for the energy transition.
Innovation Week 2025 will focus on two key streams: Innovation in Infrastructure for Tripling Renewables and Renewable-Based Solutions for Sustainable Development.
The meeting will explore how countries are defining and planning for high share renewable energy targets, and how the ambitions translate into specific system design and operational challenges.
The IRENA Innovation Day under the theme “Digital Solutions for the Energy Transition” took place at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) in Abu Dhabi focusing on the use of digital technologies to advance the global, renewable-based energy transition, and support the target of tripling renewable power by 2030 (3xRenewables).
The IRENA Innovation Day: Digital Solutions for the Energy Transition, Abu Dhabi in UAE will focus on digitalisation and the use of e.g. AI, IoT, DLT and Digital Twins for the energy transition.
2024 marks a pivotal moment in the global energy transition as renewable energy surges to unprecedented heights. Yet, despite the remarkable progress, the pace of change remains insufficient to meet the ambitious goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030
The 15th Clean Energy Ministerial and 9th Mission Innovation meeting (CEM15/MI-9) will take place from 30th September to 3rd October in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil and focus on various aspects of the clean energy transition.
This report reviews key quality infrastructure and ESG standards for solar PV supply, and represents IRENA’s contribution to the Transforming Solar Supply Chain initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM).
Ready-to-scale electrolysis technology and favorable market conditions are poised to accelerate the green hydrogen industry.
The 7th CFOR Meeting was held on 26 October, 2023.
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.
Innovation Week 2023 will explore the latest innovations and expand shared knowledge on Renewable solutions to decarbonise end-use sectors.
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.
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.
The 14th Clean Energy Ministerial and 8th Mission Innovation meeting (CEM14/MI-8) featured a public facing technology showcase demonstrating cutting edge advances in clean energy transition.
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.
This report identifies the pressing need for greater private sector engagement in the financing of energy transition projects, as well as closer public-private collaboration to sustain the net zero pathway.
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.
Based on a new, unique dataset from a global survey, this IRENA report presents unprecedented insights on the cost of capital for onshore wind, offshore wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.
