IRENA Continues to Drive Forward Green Hydrogen Cause

29 Nov 2019  by Rob Cockerill   
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) continues to explore the potential of green hydrogen in the future renewable energy mix and its scale up, with the organisation publishing and presenting various reports around this hot topic.

September 2019 saw IRENA release its new report, titled Hydrogen: a renewable energy perspective, on the occasion of the Hydrogen Energy Ministerial Meeting in Tokyo, Japan.

The report was produced in response to the call for IRENA to develop the analysis of potential pathways to a hydrogen-enabled clean energy future by the G20 Karuizawa Innovation Action Plan on Energy Transitions and Global Environment for Sustainable Growth, released on 16th June 2019.

Since then, IRENA has not only launched its report but has also been on something of a campaign trail where hydrogen is concerned, H2 View understands, presenting the report at various forums and participating in several hydrogen-related engagements.

IRENA was present at the London press conference of Energy Observer, with Director General Francesco La Camera a key dignitary and speaker at the event as the hydrogen-powered catamaran symbolically stopped over under the iconic Tower Bridge at the heart of the capital in late September.

In fact, La Camera had told those present, “Hydrogen based on renewables holds significant promise in the context of decarbonising transport and other sectors that are difficult to electrify. This boat underscores the fact that energy transition brings new opportunities in all end-use sectors.”

And IRENA released another new report in September, for the shipping sector, in the same month titled Navigating the Way to a Renewable Future: Solutions to Decarbonise Shipping.
