During the closing session of the World Power-to-X Summit 2024, the Ministry of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development awarded 9 winners of the annual competition of the Cleantech Morocco in 5 areas of intervention: Renewable Energies, Energy Efficiency, Rational Water Management, Waste Valorization and Green Buildings. This program aims to support the most innovative projects that offer technological solutions to environmental and climate challenges, within the framework of cooperation between the Ministry, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Global Environment Fund (GEF), by providing financial support and technical assistance to develop these projects and establish partnerships to mobilize the necessary financing and access to markets. #Energy_Transition #Sustainable_Development

ISF have launched the Energy Development Plan to decarbonize the Economy reports for Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda. The three energy reports are the result of a joint research by Power Shift Africa and ISF. The findings show that secure and accessible 100% renewable energy systems in Africa are not only technically achievable but economically desirable too.

As we draw closer to the 4th International Conference on Small Islands Developing States (SIDS4) in Antigua and Barbuda, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) through the SIDS Lighthouses Initiative is co-organising a side event titled: "Transforming SIDS Economies through #Energy Transition and Climate Action towards Prosperity, Resilience and Sustainable Development" scheduled for May 29, 2024, in Antigua and Barbuda. This event aims to aims to convene SIDS representatives, development partners, regional and multilateral organizations, financing institutions, and other stakeholders. Through strategic deliberations, the event seeks to identify innovative financing mechanisms, facilitate technology transfer, and outline capacity-building initiatives crucial for SIDS to achieve their renewable energy commitments. #SIDS #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #SIDSLHI #IRENA #SIDSLighthousesInitiative #InternationalRenewableEnergyAgency #AbuDhabi #UAE #UnitedArabEmirates

Our #Ocean 🌊 is a precious resource, and it is imperative that development in the marine realm is undertaken responsibly, considering both coastal communities and #Biodiversity. Given the significant #OffShoreWind technical potential in #EmergingMarket countries and the urgent pace of action required to achieve climate targets, there is a need for a pragmatic and proportionate approach to guide early spatial planning to ensure the #sustainable deployment of offshore wind. The World Bank Group’s Offshore Wind Development Program, co-led by ESMAP - Energy Sector Management Assistance Program and IFC - International Finance Corporation Infrastructure, have developed the #SenMap approach with the support of PROBLUE This tool is meant to support emerging market government planners identify broad offshore wind development areas of the lowest E&S sensitivity to avoid impacts on biodiversity, human development and other marine sectors. The SenMap Approach consists of four main steps: 1️⃣ Desk-based Review 2️⃣ Stakeholder Engagement 3️⃣ Filling the Gaps 4️⃣ Sensitivity Mapping Together, these steps can offer emerging market governments and developers alike insights into the potential challenges of managing E&S risks and lay the foundations for a sustainable offshore wind market.

This morning members of #GEODE WG Regulation met online to discuss policy updates on relative files, such as the recently released EU 2040 Climate Targets. 🗣 We were also honoured to welcome at the meeting Marina Furdas, from the Energy Network Department at Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER), who presented the agency’s report “Regulatory Frameworks for European Energy Networks 2023”.   Additionally, WG members had a roundtable discussion on the implementation of the #Action #Plan on #Grids the national level, more specifically focusing on the questions of #flexible connection agreements, #anticipatory #investments, CAPEX & OPEX, and financing infrastructure.   Per E.

⚡ Shaping a people-centered energy future: Mayors-Ministers Dialogue at #CEM15MI9 🔛 We are proud to co-host today a pivotal dialogue where mayors and ministers come together to chart a path towards inclusive, sustainable energy transitions. In this closed-door session, leaders are able to explore strategies for integrating energy and urban planning, dive into new financing flows for clean energy access, and showcase powerful partnerships with the private sector to scale up innovation. #InclusiveEnergy #ClimateAction #SustainableCities

To address the #energy challenges European countries face, we need #Solidarity4Grids ⚡️ Implementing the #EU Action Plan for Grids through collaboration and trust can enforce a reliable and equitable #EnergySystem 🌿 So, what are the next steps? 🤔 Join RGI’s 15th Anniversary Conference on 🗓️ 16 April to discuss with experts in the energy sector! #RegisterNow 👉 https://lnkd.in/e-2kGh4U

Energy is a core strategic aspect of the #transatlantic relationship. I was delighted to participate in this week's U.S. Chamber of Commerce and BusinessEurope Transatlantic Business Works Summit to discuss "U.S.-EU Leadership in the Green Transition," alongside Ivana Zuzul, Pedro Azagra Blazquez (Avangrid), Roger Martella (GE Vernova), and Luiziana Ribeiro (BASF). My takeaways: ✔ Natural gas and LNG play a key role in achieving balance among energy security, affordability and sustainability. ✔ Investments in the efficiency and decarbonization of existing energy systems are vital to meeting 2030 and 2050 emission targets. ✔ The U.S. and EU have established important incentives for clean energy technology, and need to move swiftly—and together—to reform permitting frameworks and build transparent, complementary regulatory standards to unlock the potential of #hydrogen, #CCUS, #geothermal, and other #cleanpowersystems. ✔ Efforts to graft energy, climate, and industrial policies into effective, durable national and multilateral frameworks will not work without consistent and meaningful private sector engagement.

It is critical for governments to provide first-movers in #CCUS with financial support, and equally important that private capital provides the gap between the costs of CCUS and the subsidies. This is especially important so that capturers are able to serve their markets cost-competitively vs their non-capturing counterparts.

Important new study by MTBS (Maritime & Transport Business Solutions BV), commissioned by International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), on "Investment Requirements of Developing Countries for Port Decarbonisation and Adaptation to Climate Change"  Available on-line for free download here: https://lnkd.in/g9RmZSyN The report states that "In some cases, terminal operators and governments are not waiting for these risks to be fully mitigated and are already investing, albeit often with a bankable business case - solar, for example, is already competitive with grey power in certain cases." While I like this positive way of framing the situation, it also means that in other cases operators and governments are not "not waiting". There is most likely a role here for public support, and for ensuring predictability for investors.
