IRENA has 149 Members and 27 States have started the formal process of
becoming Members
Renewable energy can:
• Meet our goals for secure, reliable and sustainable energy
• Provide electricity access to 1.3 billion people
• Promote economic development and Jobs (9.3 M jobs today)
• At an affordable cost. Solar Dubai and Chile 3 USct/kWh, Wind Egypt and
Peru 3 USct/kWh
International Renewable Energy Agency
IRENA Work Programme 2016-2017 Six thematic areas
• Planning for the global energy transition
• Enabling investment and growth
• Renewable energy access for sustainable livelihoods
• Regional action agenda
• Islands: lighthouses for sustainable energy deployment
• Gateway to knowledge on renewable energy

Renewables use in buildings, industry, and transport as well as renewables-based
district heating would account for nearly 60% of modern renewable energy use in 2030
A need to expand renewables in all sectors

Power, 19%
Transport, 4%
Heat, and other direct uses, 77%
2014
Power, 44%
Transport, 10%
Heat, and other direct uses, 46%

2014 REmap Doubling
Modern renewable energy use
(in EJ)
• REmap global analysis issued 17 March 2016
• 50 country roadmaps covering 85% of global
energy use, based on bottom up analysis of technology options
to accelerate RE deployment
o Developed in close cooperation with country experts
• All data, assumptions and detailed results are available online:
• www.irena.org/remap - new roadmap indicator dashboard
• Analysis can inform regarding areas for cooperation and joint
action, including investment, cost and benefits (climate,
environment, energy security, macro-economics) of possible new
G20 RE deployment objectives
Country potentials and technology
roadmaps
1. Analysis of RE costs,
cost reduction potentials and
best practice exchange
2. Best practice exchanges on
(i) enabling policy framework
(ii) integration of high shares of
variable renewables
3. Development of a renewable
energy specific risk mitigation
facility
Five Actions on a voluntary opt-in basis
4. Assessment of country
renewable energy technology
potentials and development of
roadmaps
5. Accelerate deployment of
modern bioenergy
The G20 Toolkit
September 2016
G20 decarbonization study
• 2017 Germany G20 Presidency
• Explore energy policy consequences of “well below 2 degrees Celsius” agreement
• Zero carbon energy by 2060 across all sectors, worldwide
• What are investment, technology development etc consequences
• 2050 time horizon
• Focus on EE + RE
• Based on REmap methodology
• Report scheduled for March 2017
• IRENA in cooperation with IEA and OECD
9
Find answers to the following questions:
• What are the technology bottlenecks
to make innovative RE technologies
competitive?
• What are the opportunities for
innovation to address these
bottlenecks?
• What are the promising R&D activities
at present that might be commercially
available in three decades from now?
• How policy-makers can support the
development and commercialization
of these technologies?
Innovation outlooks
