⭕ NEW: The first-ever Global Renewables Summit to drive action on global #3xRenewables target has been announced by a powerful cross-sectoral coalition In September, the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) and Bloomberg Philanthropies, in partnership with the Government of Barbados and Kenya, the European Commission, the COP28 UAE and COP29 Azerbaijan Presidencies, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), and the Center on Global Energy Policy, will host the Global Renewables Summit in New York #GRS24. GRS24 will be the first-ever public-private summit where leaders from industry, government, intergovernmental organisations, NGOs, philanthropy, and COP presidencies convene to discuss the progress, opportunities, and challenges of tripling renewable energy globally by 2030, aiming to accelerate the clean energy transition. Held in New York during the 79th UN General Assembly High-Level Week in September, GRS24 is set to be the firing gun of a race to the top on the global achievement of the #3xRenewables target. “At COP28, a coalition of private sector, civil society, governments, and multilateral organisations collectively secured a global target to triple renewables by 2030. Now, it’s time for action,” said Bruce Douglas, CEO of GRA. “Renewable technologies are mature and competitive, and the industries are ready to deliver, but the right policy frameworks and implementation are now urgently required. We are honoured to co-host this unique public-private summit with some of the leading organisations in the world to ignite a worldwide race to the top, accelerating action on finance, permits, grids, and supply chains to unleash the full potential of renewables.” ▶️ For updates, follow the Global Renewables Alliance Find out more about #GRS24: https://lnkd.in/dg8QJf-R 🌎 The Global Renewable Summit 2024 Organisers Global Renewables Alliance and Bloomberg Philanthropies Partners The Government of Barbados, Kenya, the European Commission, COP28 UAE, COP29 Azerbaijan, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), and the Center on Global Energy Policy, GRA Founding Members Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), Global Solar Council (GSC), International Hydropower Association (IHA), Long Duration Energy Storage Council (LDES Council), International Geothermal Association and Green Hydrogen Organisation - GH2.

🌞🚢 This summer brings exciting news for green maritime transport! Here are some highlights: California's Hydrogen Ferry: Sea Change, the world's first commercial hydrogen ferry, offers zero-emission journeys in San Francisco. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d_bHFNKn North Sea Adventure: Dutch students from TU Delft crossed the North Sea in a self-built foiling hydrogen boat, showing hydrogen's potential for summer adventures. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/drRGkM9f Monaco Energy Boat Challenge: NatPower H successfully refuelled three boats with green hydrogen, highlighting the future of eco-friendly boat races. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/deENDimT World's Largest Hydrogen-Fueled Ships: A ferry company has ordered the largest hydrogen-fueled ships, capable of carrying 120 cars each, for Norway's longest ferry route, utilizing locally produced green hydrogen. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ei5sM-TT It's inspiring to see innovation and dedication in removing fossil fuels from ferries and boating. Direct electrification through batteries will also play a significant role. Investing in green hydrogen vessels for long distances and converting older vessels to hybrid-electric systems promises a brighter future for reducing emissions.

🔋Fine print in EU regulations on battery production could have broader implications for Europe's #EnergyTransition GRA has signed a call on European policy makers to recognise power purchase agreements (#PPAs) for reducing the carbon footprint of electricity used in battery manufacturing, together with Cefic, EnergyTag, Eurelectric, The International Tracking Standard Foundation: Founder of I-REC, RECS Energy Certificate Association, smartEn Smart Energy Europe, SolarPower Europe, and WindEurope. PPAs are a key tool for corporate decarbonisation by creating a market pathway for new wind and solar power installations. Amazon recently announced that they have matched all their electricity consumed worldwide, including in their data centres, with renewable power – well ahead of their 2030 target, giving a clear example of how PPAs have a positive effect in the roll-out of renewable energy capacity. However, draft regulations on calculating indirect #Scope2 emissions do not count PPAs as green electricity, despite an increasing number of companies utilising such agreements to lower their carbon footprint. Instead, emissions related to electricity use would be based solely on the national average for the grid, discouraging some companies from buying green electricity.

🚨GRA reacts to new IRENA report: Policy action and finance urgently required to reach #3xRenewables by 2030 Renewables are the fastest-growing source of power worldwide, with new global renewable capacity in 2023 representing a record 14% increase from 2022, shows the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in a new report. However, the analysis found that even if renewables continue to be deployed at the current rate over the next seven years, the world will fall 13.5% short of the target to triple renewables to 11.2TW. In an interview with Climate Home News, GRA’s CEO Bruce Douglas highlighted the geographical imbalances in global renewables deployment: “We shouldn’t be celebrating. This growth is nowhere near enough and it’s not in the right places.” He added that #finance is “by far” the biggest challenge to getting renewables off the ground in the Global South. Africa, for example, has received less than 2% of global investments in renewable energy over the past twenty years. “That’s not acceptable in terms of an equitable transition,” said Bruce Douglas, noting that shortcomings in renewables financing entail less development benefits, fewer jobs created, and a reduced access to affordable energy. Sonia Dunlop, Vice-Chair of GRA and CEO of the Global Solar Council (GSC), said that the public sector could offer financial incentives to help de-risk renewables projects for investors: “We need to get multilateral development banks leaning into big renewables projects and taking on some of the risk, which can then attract private finance.” Another major bottleneck for the expansion of renewables around the world are #grids and #permitting. For Sonia Dunlop, the solution to grid congestion is more storage: batteries for short-term storage and other technologies for longer-term storage, such as pumped storage hydropower (#PSH). According to Bruce Douglas, merely increasing the number of staff to handle project applications within grid and planning authorities could potentially release thousands of gigawatts of renewable energy.
