Adnan Z Amin answered : "We believe a low carbon future to be entirely possible and achievable. Moreover, we believe it to be desirable - not only from an environmental perspective but from an economic one. Critically, renewable energy is gaining real momentum around the world driven by falling costs, technological innovations and an increasingly attractive business case. Global average solar PV costs have the potential to fall by a further 60% and offshore and onshore wind by 35% and 25% till 2025. It is those continued cost declines that are fuelling rapid development.2016 alone saw record growth in installed renewable capacity of 161 gigawatts. In the power sector, investment needs to go beyond generation technologies, into infrastructure that allows for large-scale integration of renewables in power systems such as demand side management, smart grids, storage and digitalisation. The power sector can also enable decarbonisation of end-use sectors, such as the transport and industrial sectors. Electric vehicles demonstrate how creating synergies between renewable power and transportation can accelerate transformation. These developments represent a profound shift in our global energy system and a positive step towards the low carbon economy required to stay below two degrees"

finanznachrichten-en Wednesday, September 27, 2017 11:00:00 AM EAT

Adnan Z Amin said : "To stay below two degrees, we need to reduce global energy related carbon dioxide emissions by 70% by 2050 and completely phase it out by 2060. The good news is we believe that to be achievable, and to be net positive economically. Our work on decarbonization has shown that accelerating renewable energy deployment hand-in-hand with improved energy efficiency rates can take us there, and at the same time it would save us trillions annually - 2 to 6 times higher than the costs - thanks to avoided expenditures caused by climate change and air pollution. To get there we must see a seven-fold increase in annual deployment of renewables. Most additional effort should be focused on end use sector transformation, while power sector is progressing well. This energy transition will - for the most part - be fuelled by private sector investment, and a continued focus on innovating across the energy value chain, not just in terms of generation technology. We need innovative business models, a new approach to operations and new policy and financial instruments. In particular, mobilising the capital necessary to be successful will be about ensuring governments make investing in renewables attractive. This can be done in a number of ways, such as through project support grants; the allocation of resources to local financial institutions; development of structured financial mechanisms specific to renewables; increased use of targeted risk mitigation instruments and the standardisation of contracts and project documentation processes"

Adnan Z Amin said : “Renewable energy has been the cornerstone of growth in the energy industry over the last five years, during which more than half of global capacity additions in the power sector have been from renewable energy. While great progress is underway in the power sector, attention can be turned to the relatively untapped potential that exists to integrate renewable energy into end-use sectors such as transportation, heating and cooling”

Adnan Z Amin added ( about Energy Agency ) : “As the global energy system is undergoing a rapid transition with larger shares of renewable energy, this Council presents Members with the opportunity to set the Agency’s strategic direction towards accelerating this transition to a sustainable energy future,”

Adnan Z Amin answered : "We believe a low carbon future to be entirely possible and achievable. Moreover, we believe it to be desirable - not only from an environmental perspective but from an economic one. Critically, renewable energy is gaining real momentum around the world driven by falling costs, technological innovations and an increasingly attractive business case. Global average solar PV costs have the potential to fall by a further 60% and offshore and onshore wind by 35% and 25% till 2025. It is those continued cost declines that are fuelling rapid development.2016 alone saw record growth in installed renewable capacity of 161 gigawatts. In the power sector, investment needs to go beyond generation technologies, into infrastructure that allows for large-scale integration of renewables in power systems such as demand side management, smart grids, storage and digitalisation. The power sector can also enable decarbonisation of end-use sectors, such as the transport and industrial sectors. Electric vehicles demonstrate how creating synergies between renewable power and transportation can accelerate transformation. These developments represent a profound shift in our global energy system and a positive step towards the low carbon economy required to stay below two degrees"

finanznachrichten-en Wednesday, September 27, 2017 11:00:00 AM EAT

Adnan Z Amin said : "To stay below two degrees, we need to reduce global energy related carbon dioxide emissions by 70% by 2050 and completely phase it out by 2060. The good news is we believe that to be achievable, and to be net positive economically. Our work on decarbonization has shown that accelerating renewable energy deployment hand-in-hand with improved energy efficiency rates can take us there, and at the same time it would save us trillions annually - 2 to 6 times higher than the costs - thanks to avoided expenditures caused by climate change and air pollution. To get there we must see a seven-fold increase in annual deployment of renewables. Most additional effort should be focused on end use sector transformation, while power sector is progressing well. This energy transition will - for the most part - be fuelled by private sector investment, and a continued focus on innovating across the energy value chain, not just in terms of generation technology. We need innovative business models, a new approach to operations and new policy and financial instruments. In particular, mobilising the capital necessary to be successful will be about ensuring governments make investing in renewables attractive. This can be done in a number of ways, such as through project support grants; the allocation of resources to local financial institutions; development of structured financial mechanisms specific to renewables; increased use of targeted risk mitigation instruments and the standardisation of contracts and project documentation processes"

Policies and regulations continue to remain crucial to this end and to develop the renewables market,” “We are seeing more and more countries hold auctions to deploy renewables, and as variable and distributed sources of renewables take-on a greater role, regulators have implemented changes to enable grid integration at scale. Heating and cooling, and the potential of renewables for transport, are areas where future efforts are needed”
