Global commission formed to accelerate approvals of renewables, green hydrogen

It is expected to present its recommendations to the UN General Assembly in September 2023.

The Planning for Climate Commission was launched at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference to focus on ramping up the planning and approvals for the installation of renewables and green hydrogen for energy security and climate change.

The Commission is a joint initiative by the Green Hydrogen organisation, International Hydropower Association, the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), the Global Soal Council, and the Long Duration Energy Storage Council.

It will come up with a set of recommendations by mid-2023 that will be presented to the UN General Assembly in 2023.

In a statement, GWEC said around 10,800 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable capacity is needed to maintain the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celcius.

Around 800GW of renewable energy will also be needed to produce 100 million tonnes of green hydrogen to replace fossil hydrogen and decarbonise food production and heavy industry by 2030, it said.

“The numbers are staggering and will only be achieved through a new, innovative and efficient approach to planning and approvals which ensures both speed and buy-in communities,” the statement read.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
