International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s Post

In March 2023, President Ursula von der Leyen called on the world to triple #renewables and double #energy efficiency. In December, at COP28 UAE, the world rallied behind these goals. The journey continues. At the United Nations in New York, world leaders and #investors committed to accelerate the global clean energy #transition.

Green hydrogen is key to reducing emissions in hard-to-abate sectors such as long-distance trucking. Across the world there are many efforts to promote the utilisation of green hydrogen. In Europe, there is regulation that points toward decarbonising heavy transportation. Yet, whether in Europe or worldwide, to ensure hydrogen projects secure long-term financing and gain the best possible chance for success, consistency and certainty of production secured by affordable renewable energy is paramount… So, imagine, what a game changer it would be if there was a rapidly deployable low-cost, low-impact and scalable renewable energy that can deliver 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Imagine it having a fraction of the footprint of other renewables, with the lowest levelised cost of electricity….that would do!

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s latest Renewable Capacity Statistics report highlights that 2023 saw the largest increase in renewable energy capacity to date – with the addition of 473 GW of renewables. Despite this record growth, more needs to be done to accelerate progress to triple renewables by 2030 in line with the targets of the UAE Consensus.

With large-scale solar and wind projects underway, the region is well-positioned to produce green hydrogen at competitive costs, fueling industries and reducing carbon emissions. Countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt are investing heavily in this sustainable energy source, positioning MENA at the forefront of the global green energy movement.

This growth not only boosts the region's economy but also sets a global example for renewable energy innovation. #GreenHydrogen #SustainableEnergy #MENAEnergy #RenewableEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #CleanEnergyTransition #Decarbonization #EnergyInnovation #CarbonNeutral #HydrogenFuel #EnergyFuture #MENAGreenHydrogen #CleanTech #SolarEnergy #WindEnergy

The goal set at COP28 in Dubai to triple renewables and double energy efficiency by 2030 is “within reach.” However, coordinated global efforts are needed to achieve it. 📌 The priorities? Electrical grids, storage, and regulatory simplifications. Specifically:  - Faster but responsible authorization procedures.  - The construction or modernization of over 25 million kilometers of electrical grids by 2030.  - Increasing global energy storage capacity to 1,500 GW by 2030.  🔎 The International Energy Agency (IEA) supports this in the report “From Taking Stock to Taking Action: How to Implement the COP28 Energy Goals,“ in which the agency, led by Fatih Birol, assesses the global efforts to accelerate renewable energy development one year after the decision to triple renewables and double energy efficiency by 2030 made during the climate summit in the UAE. ➡️ Full Article: https://lnkd.in/dA7HwXgD #RinnovabiliNET #environmnent #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainablity #sustainabledevelopment

𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 #𝟑𝐱𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬 The UAE Consensus agreed at #COP28 to triple global renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency gains by 2030 requires countries to overcome structural barriers impeding the energy transitions progress. Stay tuned for a series of articles on how these barriers can be overcome by the key enablers identified by International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Learn more: bit.ly/3YdM4XT

Really good progress

We are accelerating the transition to clean energy. We’re investing more than $163 billion to triple production of renewable energy by 2030 and achieve Net Zero in the UAE by 2050. #AcceleratingActionTogether

Navigating the Energy Transition: Insights from IRENA’s 28th Council Meeting in Abu Dhabi The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) convened its 28th Council meeting in Abu Dhabi today, marking the final gathering before the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29). The two-day meeting will focus on vital discussions concerning the global energy transition, particularly progress toward tripling renewable energy capacity and doubling energy efficiency by 2030, as set forth in the Outcome of the First Global Stocktake. A recent report by IRENA, titled Delivering on the UAE Consensus: Tracking Progress Toward Tripling Renewable Energy Capacity and Doubling Energy Efficiency by 2030, indicates that current national plans are projected to achieve only half of […] Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dGmxav8G #solarenergy #alternativeenergy #solarpv #pvsolar #photovoltaic #cleanenergy #cleantech #climatechange #abudhabi #cop29 #energytransition #irena #middleeast #renewableenergy

The UAE's clean energy investments have surpassed $12 billion, with renewable energy capacity growing by 70% in 2023. Minister Suhail Al Mazrouei outlined the UAE's progress toward achieving 32% clean energy in its total energy mix by 2030. The nation continues to lead in renewable energy competitiveness and sustainability efforts. 🌍🌞 Read more in the comments. #UAEEnergy #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #COP28 #Renewables
