Almost 50% of emissions reductions needed in the IEA Net-Zero Emission by 2050 Scenario (NZE) require solutions that are at prototype or demonstration stage. Only 25 of the USD 90 billion of public investment needed to support demonstration projects before 2030 in the NZE is mobilized.
New frameworks and projects based on scalability and replicability are urgently needed to rapidly validate and commercialize innovative clean energy solutions, such as for smarter grids and hydrogen production.
The event will bring together international high-level experts to share learnings, challenges, and approaches to effectively leverage demonstration projects and international cooperation to accelerate clean energy transitions.
Initiatives, such as GPFM Flagship Projects, the US call to invest USD 90 billion in demonstration projects by 2026, and the EU Innovation Fund will be presented. The Italy/UNEP smart grid pilot project implementation phase associated with IEA’s 3DEN Initiative will be launched by announcing the awardees. Organizers: IEA, ITIF - Center for Clean Energy Innovation, Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition, Mission Innovation Green Powered Future Mission, International Smart Grids Action Network (ISGAN) and United Nations Environment Programme
