This report looks at the mineral demand for a net-zero emissions energy system, focusing on seven critical minerals and discussing the role of technological choices, circular economy strategies, and responsible mining in reducing the environmental impact of the transition.
This report investigates opportunities to reduce consumption of scarce raw materials by recycling metals and other resources from energy technologies such as wind turbines, solar PV panels and batteries.
This study identifies advances in PV recycling technology that have the potential to be affordable, technically feasible, and environmentally responsible.
This paper presents a value chain approach to identify priority areas for developing national hydrogen strategies, focussing on emerging and developing economies.
This web page provides an overview of grid-scale energy storage, discussing the current status around the globe and providing recommendations for governments.
This study maps the current landscape of PV material demand and recycling, and charts a course toward a more sustainable and economically viable future for the PV industry.
This report focuses on the material resources required for the energy transition and demonstrates that there are plentiful resources available to support a prosperous net-zero global economy.
These guidelines provide advice on the development of green hydrogen clusters, which are industrial clusters that share green hydrogen and renewable energy for various purposes and can significantly contribute to industrial decarbonisation.
This article assesses the opportunities provided by digital monitoring, reporting and verification (dMRV), which can facilitate real-time tracking of the use and fuel sales from clean cooking products, thereby increasing the integrity of emissions reduction claims.
This report illustrates the need for digital monitoring, reporting, and verification (D-MRV) systems to underpin future carbon markets. It discusses the available technologies, and barriers to their adoption, as well as guidelines, tools, and lessons learned to promote the use of these systems.
