    Fuelling Aviation: How to Unlock Investment to Scale Up SAF

    Aviation accounts for 2.5% of global emissions and remains one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are widely seen as its most immediate solution, yet production sits below 1% of global jet fuel use. In this episode, Haliru Audu, Programme Officer for Project Financing at IRENA, explores what is holding SAF back from scale, what it takes to attract serious investment, and how financial instruments and risk-sharing mechanisms such as FinInvest@ETAF can help bridge the gap between pilot projects and industrial-scale deployment.

    How Can Energy Planning Close the Gap Between Plans and Projects?

    As the global energy transition accelerates, countries face growing pressure to turn renewable energy targets into bankable project pipelines. In this episode, Juan Jose Garcia Mendez, Programme Officer for Clean Energy Transition Scenarios at IRENA, discusses how energy planning is evolving into a dynamic tool for coordinating investment, managing risk and aligning energy systems with development priorities. The conversation also explores inclusive stakeholder engagement and how initiatives such as the LTES network and the Global Coalition for Energy Planning (GCEP) are helping bridge the gap between national plans and financing.

    Renewable Energy Jobs: Progress, Trends and Future outlook

    Despite record renewable energy deployment in 2024, job creation in the sector grew by just 2.3%, the smallest increase in years. In this episode, Michael Renner, Head of Socioeconomics and Policy at IRENA, and Olga Strietska-Ilina, Head of Future Skills Unit at the International Labour Organizatition (ILO), unpack the findings of the latest IRENA-ILO report, Renewable energy and jobs: Annual review 2025. The conversation explores the factors shaping employment trends, from automation and geographic shifts to the growing demand for digital and technical skills. The discussion also highlights what policymakers, industry and educational institutions should do to build an inclusive, skilled workforce ready for the energy transition ahead.

    Gender Perspective: How to Make the Energy Transition Truly Gender Equitable?

    Women make up just 32% of the global renewable energy workforce and hold only 19% of senior leadership positions. In this episode, IRENA's expert explores the barriers behind these figures and what it takes to move beyond token inclusion towards meaningful participation. The discussion highlights the role of indigenous women in advancing socio-economic benefits of decentralised renewables, and outlines the actions needed from all stakeholders to unlock a truly gender-equitable energy transition.

  5. Financing the Renewable Future: What do the Latest Trends Reveal About Progress, Gaps and Opportunities in Energy Transition Investment?

    2025. 11. 26.

    Financing the Renewable Future: What do the Latest Trends Reveal About Progress, Gaps and Opportunities in Energy Transition Investment?

    Global investment in the energy transition reached a record $2.4 trillion in 2024, more than double the 2019 levels, with one-third going to renewable technologies. Yet, the pace of growth is slowing and regional disparities persist. In this episode, Faran Rana, Renewable Energy Finance and Policy expert at IRENA, explores what is driving record investments in solar and batteries, the challenges behind slowing deployment in key sectors, and how emerging manufacturing hubs are reshaping global supply chains. The discussion highlights why tripling renewable capacity by 2030 requires not just more money, but the right kind of impact-driven investments.

    From Commitments to Action: Why NDCs Need Renewable Energy Targets?

    Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are countries' self-determined climate commitments under the Paris Agreement, with 2025 marking crucial NDC 3.0 submissions ahead of COP30. In this episode, Toyo Kawabata, Programme Officer, NDC Implementation at IRENA, explores why renewable energy targets in NDCs are essential in helping countries to transition away from fossil fuels. He also discusses the barriers to stronger commitments and pathways for transforming pledges into actionable plans.

    Harnessing the Winds: How to Unlock Full Potential of Offshore Wind Energy?

    Offshore wind is emerging as a critical technology for the energy transition. With only 83GW of installed capacity today, it has vast untapped potential. In this episode, Simon Benmarraze, Head, Energy Planning and Modelling at IRENA, and Rikke Povlsen from the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA) explore the technical and commercial viability of GOWA's ambitious target of 2,000 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2050. They discuss falling costs, innovations in floating offshore wind and the role of public-private partnerships in accelerating the deployment of offshore wind.

    What’s Behind the 93% Drop in Battery Storage Costs?

    Battery energy storage is essential for maximising the potential of renewables, and with costs falling 93% since 2010, it has shifted from a costly barrier to a key enabler of the energy transition. In this episode, Deborah Ayres, Renewable Energy Costs team at IRENA explores the drivers behind the cost reductions, policies needed to accelerate deployment and why affordable battery storage is essential for modernising grids, integrating more renewables and achieving the goal of tripling renewable capacity by 2030.
