This joint annual report from the custodian agencies of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 on energy, serves to guide international co-operation and policy making to achieve universal, sustainable energy access by 2030. The annual SDG 7 tracking report includes the official dashboard of global, regional and national progress on four key energy targets: 7.1: Ensuring […]
lectrolysis of water, using renewable electricity, is the sustainable option to produce green hydrogen as an attractive low-carbon energy carrier. To respond to the growing demand for renewables-based hydrogen, an extraordinary expansion of the market for electrolysers is needed linked to a significant capacity increase in the manufacture and deployment of electrolysers. A rapid reduction […]
The statement by President Xi Jinping in September 2020 that The People’s Republic of China (hereinafter, “China”) will “aim to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060” sets out a clear vision and timeline for a profound transformation of the country’s socio-economic development. The pace of China’s emissions reductions over the […]
Hydrogen is an essential component of a net zero energy system and has a key role to play in decarbonising sectors that are difficult to electrify, such as heavy industry and long-haul transport. Vast green hydrogen potential exists around the world, equating to more than 20 times global primary energy demand in 2050. However, the […]
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are small-scale energy resources usually situated near sites of electricity use, such as rooftop solar panels and battery storage. Their rapid expansion is transforming not only the way electricity is generated, but also how it is traded, delivered and consumed.
