Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue’s Post

🚀The 2024 State of the Energy Union report reveals the EU's progress and challenges in energy and climate transition. Under the European Green Deal, ambitious policies are set for climate neutrality by 2050, with 2030 targets like a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. 🌞Renewable energy is on the rise. In 2023, a record 56 GW of new solar capacity was installed, and wind energy has become the second-largest electricity source, surpassing gas. The EU is making great strides in clean energy. 🛡️Additionally, between August 2022 and May 2024, the EU reduced gas demand by 18%, saving 138 billion cubic meters. But more effort is needed to meet 2030 energy efficiency goals. 🌍The EU is a global climate leader. It's actively involved in international efforts such as the Global Methane Pledge. The report stresses the need for accelerated action to achieve 2030 climate and energy targets and address ambition gaps and infrastructure bottlenecks. #SolarEnergy #solarsolution #EnergyEfficiency #Microinverter #solarunis #microinverter #cleanenergy #greenenergy #solarinverter #European #inverter #solarenergy #solarsolutions #solar #energy

Increased use of wind turbines in coastal zones to provide Europe with renewable energy is a crucial element in decarbonizing Europe’s economy and in meeting its climate and energy targets. The placement of these turbines should also carefully consider potential impacts on marine ecosystems, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) briefing published today. https://lnkd.in/deNd-Nbf #offshore #windenergy #renewableenergy #climatechange #GreenDeal

#Germany #climateaction 🇩🇪 The Federal Government is driving forward the energy transition by setting ambitious climate targets Under the Federal Climate Protection Act, Germany will achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045.  The interim targets are a 65% reduction in emissions by 2030 and an 88% reduction by 2040, with 1990 as the point of reference in each case.  Germany is looking to phase out energy generation from coal-fired power plants, ideally by 2030.   The stated aim is for renewable energies to become the main source of the energy mix.  #wind #solar #hydro 👉 https://lnkd.in/ghefEVTg

Europe is at a pivotal moment in its transition to renewable energy, reflecting a wider global shift. Solar and wind are setting records, but financial and infrastructure barriers are holding back progress. An estimated €584 billion is needed by 2030 to adequately upgrade and expand the grid to accommodate this influx of clean power. Without this vital investment, Europe's transition risks stalling, leaving its vast renewable energy potential untapped.

Here’s another clip from the Climate and Nature Crisis Panel Discussion, where Eoin discussed onshore wind farms and the role of renewable energy in the UK. The panel featured representatives from various political parties, including Tabi Joy (Green Party), Max Wilkinson (Liberal Democrats), Julie Farmer (Labour), and Alex Chalk KC (Conservative). Key points from the discussion: ✅Striving for net-zero emissions by 2050 with significant investments in new technologies. ✅Onshore wind farms have a lifespan of 25 years, with emerging technologies being less destructive. ✅The goal is to achieve 50 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030. ✅Targeting 80% renewables in our energy mix. ✅Aiming for 100% zero-carbon energy by 2035 at the latest.

The world is falling short of the goal to triple renewable electricity generation by 2030, a crucial target for transitioning away from fossil fuels. However, there are hopeful signs that progress may be accelerating. Governments must swiftly translate promises into action plans to achieve this ambitious yet attainable target, as highlighted by the International Energy Agency. Including renewable energy targets in national climate action plans is vital for a sustainable energy future and meeting global climate goals.

We're among the 100 companies and organizations that have signed Global Renewables Alliance’s call for transformative Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). We urge world leaders to set ambitious, specific and actionable renewable energy targets in their updated national climate plans to the United Nations.   To keep 1.5C within reach, the energy transition must progress much faster, and commitments must be translated into tangible actions in the next round of NDCs.   Now, deliver change 👉  https://lnkd.in/dENsxgJ9   #LetsDecarbonize #NowDeliverChange

How to become a renewable energy powerhouse? By realizing multiple, diverse clean energy projects the North Sea has become a hotspot for green innovation and a blueprint for decarbonization in many other parts of the world. https://lnkd.in/e3bexKWf

The total offshore wind potential for the Middle East is around 1,400 gigawatts (GW) but realising this potential depends on investment and regulatory support among other things, according to a recent report by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).
