It was great to chat to Rachel Millard and discuss Europe's journey towards low carbon energy amidst challenges like the Dunkelflaute.   The Baltic Eagle wind farm, a collaborative effort between Iberdrola and Masdar, stands as a testament to Europe's commitment to sustainable energy solutions. With its potential to power up to 475,000 homes, it represents the latest step forward in achieving our low carbon energy goals.   However, as the article rightly points out, the intermittency of renewable sources poses a challenge. Addressing periods of low wind and sunlight requires innovative solutions in energy storage and management and systems thinking. Technologies like pumped storage hydropower and the emerging potential of hydrogen offer promising avenues for overcoming these hurdles.   While there are hurdles to overcome, I am optimistic about the future of renewable energy. The recent initiatives by governments and the European Commission to subsidize and invest in green hydrogen projects are encouraging signs of progress. Moreover, advancements in storage technologies and interconnectivity between countries pave the way for a more resilient energy system.   It's crucial that we continue to foster collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators to navigate the complexities of energy transition effectively. Together, we can ensure a sustainable and prosperous future for generations to come.

As we approach the 2024 High-Level Political Forum, #energy emerges as a critical factor, intersecting with the environmental, social, and economic imperatives of the SDG goals in review, putting a just energy transition at center stage. I look forward to engaging in a round table discussion on energy in #SIDS by the Government of Comoros 🇰🇲 and a discussion on energy financing with International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and @UN-Energy. These crucial discussions are key for positioning energy as a lever for development and achieving our global goals by 2030. #EnergyForDevelopment #HLPF2024

Pleased to see this from yesterday's EU Energy Council: "Different member states insisted that interconnections and well interconnected energy networks were an essential building block to ensure security of supply during the crisis and will be even more so in the years to come." And its not only security of supply - interconnectors also bring the benefits of: 🍃 Renewables integration and optimisation 💶 System efficiency ⏬ Reliability without gas ➗ Resilience and solidarity among European countries

"The juice is worth the squeeze!" 🍊 Susie Lind addressing the challenges facing a global offshore wind industry at All-Energy Exhibition and Conference. Recognising global collaboration and swift action as key drivers to realise the socioeconomic benefits that #offshorewind will deliver, with the UK leading the world in the roll-out of #floatingwind. 💪 With rapid growth, fuelled by global ambition and policies to accelerate deployment, we still face challenges across the sector, but what’s clear is that #FLOW will still deliver economic growth, secure and affordable energy, lasting job creation and ultimately, help tackle the #climateemergency. 💚  #AllEnergy24 #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #AllEnergy BlueFloat Energy | Renantis

At the Energy Transition Summit 2024, I had the pleasure of hearing Paul McCormack CEO of Hydrogen Ireland, discuss the exciting progress in hydrogen as a key energy alternative. Hydrogen’s potential to drive Ireland's decarbonisation is huge, and it's great to see the advancements being made in this space! #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #MakingEnergyCount #ReverveEnergy #EnergySummit24

"Southeast Asia is on track to become a major energy power in the next decade! With a focus on renewable energy and the need for foreign investment, the region aims to meet its climate goals.

🟢🌿“We have reformed the energy markets and we have also set out the world is most advanced frameworks for a hydrogen economy and for reducing methane emissions. Following two record years for renewables installations, in the first half of 2024 wind and solar have risen to new highs, overtaking for the first time ever fossil fuels in our electricity mix. This commitment at home gives us also the credibility to lead international efforts for renewables. And we see that when we take action, others follow suit.”🌿🟢 European Commission Avrupa Birliği Türkiye Delegasyonu Medipol Üniversitesi Prof.Dr. Rana Atabay Kuşçu #greendeal #sustainability #jeanmonnet #environment #europeanunion🇪🇺 #hydrogeneurope

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)'s REmap team successfully hosted a two-day workshop on 16 and 17 October, presenting preliminary findings from the ongoing Regional Energy Transition Outlook (RETO) for the European Union to EU Member State representatives. The EU RETO examines #decarbonization pathways for achieving the EU's energy and #climate objectives, in alignment with current European regulatory frameworks.   During the workshop, the team presented comprehensive analysis covering the transformation of key end-use sectors - transport, industry, and buildings- as well as the power sector's essential role in the #energy supply landscape. This integrated approach provides valuable insights into how the #EU can effectively navigate its #energytransition while meeting its climate objectives.  

New rotors, a sustainable tower manufacturing plant, and a production line for next-generation wind power drivetrains. 💡 These are some of the innovative wind projects funded by the European Union through the latest call of the Innovation Fund. Six initiatives out of more than 80 in this round will lead to the establishment of wind factories across Europe. 📌 WindEurope has commented positively on the results of the call, expressing satisfaction with the selection of winners. 📣 ‘The European Commission has finally begun adapting its innovation strategy,’ said WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson. ➡️ Full Article: https://lnkd.in/dVMHDvvw #RinnovabiliNET #environmnent #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainablity #sustainabledevelopment [Mostra meno] https://lnkd.in/deJbmNnm
