In today’s episode of The Jolt, Kira Taylor takes a look at the expected trends for #greenhydrogen production, plus Canada tables cash for heat pumps. The big story today: Hydrogen production is expected to undergo a major transition from using fossil fuels to using renewable energy. Francisco Boshell, head of innovation and end use decarbonisation at the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), joins The Jolt to discuss the future trends. “By 2030, the penetration or the share of renewable-based hydrogen—green hydrogen—should be at least 30%. So around 50-60 million tonnes of green hydrogen per year,” – Francisco Boshell, International Renewable Energy Agency Listen now: https://lnkd.in/dZvsRkra

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Director of Country Engagement and Partnerships, Mr. Gurbuz Gonul, participated in the Belgrade Energy Forum. ➡ He emphasized the importance of policy makers and all stakeholders to work together to urgently ensure that policies, regulations, market structures, infrastructure, support instruments and financing are all rapidly aligned with delivering on the #3xRenewables target the SEE countries committed as part of the #UAEConsensus at COP28 UAE. He also reaffirmed IRENA’s continued commitment to support the SEE countries in translating tripling goals at the national and regional level, including the forthcoming NDC revision, to facilitate the #renewables-based #energytransition ambitions.

🆕 COP28 UAE President Dr Sultan Al Jaber tasked International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to monitor global progress towards #3xRenewables. "IRENA's annual report will track & monitor global progress against these targets, which are crucial in ensuring we keep 1.5C within reach." 📌https://lnkd.in/ggh9hNXE

💡 Access to clean cooking is crucial for universal #energy access, livelihoods, human health, and the environment. 2.3 billion people still lacked access to clean cooking in 2021, largely in sub-Saharan #Africa and #Asia. With the risk of 1.9 billion people still lacking access to clean cooking by 2030, the world must step up its efforts. Ahead of International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)'s participation in the International Energy Agency (IEA) Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa on 14 May, it is important to emphasize the findings from a series of virtual knowledge exchanges on #renewables-based clean cooking solutions that was convened by IRENA, and published in a brief. The brief highlights that achieving universal access to clean cooking requires: ➡political will and dedicated policies ➡tackling end-user affordability ➡accelerated finance from public and private sources ➡scaling up proven #renewables-based clean cooking solutions ➡collaboration for exchanging knowledge and best practices.   Read the full brief here ⤵ https://lnkd.in/gVqsa9Uf SNV, Practical Action, CECC UNIDO · Council on Ethanol Clean Cooking, MECS programme.

⚡ High-Level Public Private Dialogue at #IRENA14A: Building Momentum towards a 100% renewable energy system. For part 1 of the dialogue, global energy stakeholders convened in Abu Dhabi in April and emphasized the need for👇 ✅#RenewableEnergy for urgent Climate Action ✅International multi-stakeholder collaboration and inclusive governance ✅Innovative solutions for public & private financing ✅A just transition, supported by inclusive policies 👉 This week, energy experts and practitioners gathered virtually for part ll of the dialogue. Collectively they spotlighted that: ✅Renewables are the fastest way to #NetZero ✅Flexibility & energy efficiency are crucial ✅Alignment of public finance w/ social objectives ✅Involvement of local communities & SMEs is key.

Achieving #COP28's commitment of phasing out fossil fuels and deploying #3xRenewables, will require strong policy frameworks at a global level. International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to countries at #IRENA14A to help them achieve a fair and just #energytransition.
