On 6 November 2023 the International Energy Agency (IEA) will host a high-level workshop on the subject of Diversifying Clean Technology Manufacturing.

Many parts of unpolluted expertise provide chains are extremely geographically concentrated. This is especially true on the manufacturing step, the place 4 international locations and the European Union account for 80-90% of world manufacturing capability for key clear power applied sciences like photo voltaic PV, wind, batteries, warmth pumps and electrolysers. If governments are to make progress in the direction of establishing safe, resilient and sustainable provide chains for these vital parts of unpolluted power transitions, they may want rigorously designed industrial methods that unlock funding, whereas on the identical time sustaining aggressive markets and worldwide commerce. Strategic partnerships can assist to bridge gaps in home provide chains and enhance funding in creating economies, thereby broadening the bottom and spreading the advantages of the clear power economic system.

By facilitating interactive dialogues on the matters above, this workshop is meant to be a platform for sharing expertise amongst international locations and with the non-public sector. The outcomes of the discussions will type a key enter to an Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP) Special Report on diversifying clear expertise manufacturing requested by G7 Leaders following their 2023 Summit in Hiroshima.

The workshop will deliver collectively each private and non-private sector resolution makers, alongside representatives from the analysis group and civil society organisations.

The workshop is by invitation solely.
