Francesco La Camera, director-general of IRENA, highlighted how geopolitical events like the Ukraine war and energy crises are expediting the renewable energy transition. The vulnerability of the old energy system has propelled market demand for renewables. The growth of 585 gigawatts in new renewable capacity in 2021 signifies progress but falls short of combating climate change effectively. The decentralization of the energy market fosters resilience and reduces the influence of individual power players. The transition to renewables is predicted to reshape the geopolitical landscape, diminishing the power of fossil fuel exporting nations while empowering others. Collaboration on critical minerals extraction and manufacturing is foreseen to increase with a diversified energy market. Despite Trump's pro-fossil fuel stance, the U.S. market is shifting towards renewables, with states like Texas leading the transition. IRENA stresses the need for doubling renewables investments in the G20 to achieve the target of tripling capacity by 2030. Although challenges exist, renewables are poised to dominate the market due to their cost competitiveness and manageability. Concerns over energy transition policies and pushback from certain quarters underline the urgency in combating climate change within a compressed timeframe. The role of nuclear energy in the transition is doubted due to cost constraints and timing issues. Europe's drive to reduce dependencies through renewables expansion necessitates a focus on infrastructure development. While Europe aims for energy self-sufficiency, infrastructure improvements are crucial for a sustainable renewable energy system.
