📸 The 5th IRENA - ASEAN Senior Official Meeting on Energy concluded in Jakarta. IRENA will continue to strengthen our fruitful partnership w/ ASEAN beyond our analytical & knowledge support into finance facilitation to accelerate the #energytransition in the region.

Huge congratulations to Dr. Vahid Aryanpur on receiving his PhD in Energy Engineering UCC Ireland today. His PhD was ‘Improving the Ability of Energy Systems Optimisation Modelling to Inform National Energy Policymaking’ Thanks to @scienceirel @james_glynn and Hannah Daly

NEW: Indonesia has jumped three places in the global rankings of CO₂ emissions. Last year it was 9th, but with its huge increase in coal use last year, it has passed Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, and is now in 6th place. x.com/robbie_andrew/…

.IRENA's Director-General Francesco La Camera touches down in Goa for the #G20 #ETMM! His action-packed two-day schedule kicks off tomorrow with CEM14_ MI8, followed by his participation at the G20 Goa Energy Transition Ministerial Meeting on Saturday.

Excellent no jargon summary of impacts installing solar and batteries to have a near-100% RE powered home by Marques Brownlee, clear and concise. Showing how energy is used at home and where to focus for efficiency. Great comm skills, this'll reach a huge audience youtu.be/UJeSWbR6W04

With the criteria for the production of #renewablehydrogen in place, we have prepared a 'questions and answers' document for anyone interested to produce #renewablehydrogen for the #European market It will be regularly updated: energy.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2…

Just think about it... more money will be spent installing solar panels this year than total investment into oil. Isn't that a little bit cool?! 😎🌞

🥷 Introducing Demand.Ninja – a new tool to model hourly energy demand in individual buildings to entire countries 🌍 Our new Nature Energy paper shows how to model electricity & gas demand with precision, and what we learn from this … nature.com/articles/s4156…

More exciting news from the #PCIdaysEU! We have unveiled our action plan for #electricity #grids today⚡️ There is no transition without transmission! Let's power up progress & embrace the grid revolution. #EnergyTransition #GridsActionPlan

Don't get distracted by the nuclear pledge! Electricity demand will almost triple by 2050, so even if nuclear triples, it'll only keep its current 9% share of global elec. Renewables and efficiency give the biggest CO2 cuts this decade. We need a global deal on them⚡️💪🌍

In his video remarks for #IRENA14A, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres highlighted the Agency's role in global #Energytransition & said, "Our collective future depends on collective action that makes the work of IRENA critical."

WOW, excellent new research showing how quickly EU🇪🇺 LNG demand will fall... and why there is a global LNG gas glut coming soon... 🧵

Delighted to speak with David McCullagh on RTÉ News last night about the challenges facing Ireland as we seeks to accelerate renewables growth and energy transition. Wind energy in Ireland grew by only 4% in 2023, due to an effectively 'stalled' planning system that needs resourcing.

France unveiled results of the 1st commercial floating #offshore wind auction At €86/MWh given today's inflation & cost of capital, this is a great result! When the supply chains for floating scale, we can expect a globally important new source to help hit #TriplingRE by 2030

Day 3 of #Xcelerate2024 Athens saw important presentations by the likes of IRENA EirGrid Plc and Eskom Hld SOC Ltd and was wrapped up with an evening to remember by the coast! Missed out? See what’s coming up bit.ly/4budTPn #PLEXOS #EnergyModeling #EnergyTransition

Very timely paper- this is coming down the tracks and we need to get our house in order for gas network decommissioning

So far this year, 40% of new buses registered in Ireland are fully electric. But sales of electric passenger cars and vans have fallen sharply, which will prolong our lock-in to fossil fuels.

Dunkelflaute describes times when wind and solar energy are low due to calm winds and darkness. As #Europe moves to #renewables, it’s a potential #energy security risk, especially in winter. EASAC's expert workshop explored solutions—stay tuned for a report in spring 2025!
