IEA: Enabling environment to seize today’s opportunities for hydrogen   

At the G20 meeting in Japan, energy and environment ministers raised the importance of accelerating innovation, mobilizing finance and investment, and creating business opportunities to progress towards the Paris Agreement’s goals. To support the ministers’ discussions, the IEA launched a report, The Future of Hydrogen: Seizing Today’s Opportunities. This is the first comprehensive report on hydrogen published by IEA, which discusses the ways in which hydrogen can help to achieve a clean, secure and affordable energy future; and how we can go about realizing its potential by offering seven key recommendations.

Based on the findings of the report, the session will introduce near-term opportunities to boost hydrogen towards its clean and widespread use. It will also discuss how to build enabling environment for businesses and further dissemination of innovative clean energy technologies.

Different Perspectives on the Energy Transition

The energy sources powering our societies have been undergoing a period of rapid change. Renewable energy has emerged as a technologically feasible, economically attractive and sustainable choice that increasingly can meet the economic needs of many countries, corporations and citizens, moving to the centre of the global energy landscape.

This event will first set out the economic case for the technology-driven transition. It will then look into what investment vehicles can speed up the process presenting the perspectives of both private and public financial institutions. It will finally examine the socio-economic implications of such a deep transformation.

Former Irish President, Mary Robinson will open the debate providing her views on how the energy transition will advance climate justice and effectively address the impacts of climate change. The panel debate will then offer concrete examples of what some of the key international players in the sector – European Investment Bank (EIB), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) – are doing to help drive the transition.

Accelerating energy transitions and raising ambition based on decreasing costs of renewables

Organized by Fraunhofer ISI, NewClimate Institute and Renewable Energy Institute. 

As part of their commitments to the Paris Agreement, parties will have to review and possibly strengthen their NDCs by 2020. In this context, they have the opportunity to take into consideration that the cost projections for renewable electricity production and batteries have decreased substantially since the preparation of the current NDCs. The event will present new analyses of energy transitions towards decarbonisation and raising ambition of NDCs based on the lower costs projections, including case studies for countries in East Asia and Latin America. Implications will be discussed with practitioners from the case study countries.

Agenda:

  • INPUT 1: Decreasing cost projections for key mitigation technologies and its meaning for Argentina (Leonardo Nascimento, NewClimate Institute) -> Q&A with the audience
  • INPUT 2: Transition to renewable energies in Japan (Mika Ohbayashi, Director Renewable Energy Institute) -> Q&A with the audience
  • INPUT 3: Current situation and planned actions in the context of the NDC updates for Indonesia and Mexico (Johannes Eckstein, Fraunhofer ISI) -> Q&A with the audience

Sustainable Cooling in a Warming World

Access to cooling is vital to achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals (e.g. access to clean energy, ensuring health and well-being, etc.). Yet the development of the cooling sector is also threatening our efforts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C. Today, most refrigerants are also strong greenhouse gases. And the sector is particularly energy-intensive: it accounts for 17% of global electricity today and without significant improvements in energy efficiency, energy demand for cooling is set to grow five-fold by 2050. Our future needn’t be so bleak. This event will showcase the concrete actions and opportunities that exist to avoid, shift and improve cooling practices in various sectors in order to provide cooling for all while limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. It will bring together experts from national and local governments, businesses and civil society that are pioneers in these fields with the aim to inspire others to take action on climate-friendly, efficient cooling.
