IRENA:
Promoting deployment of renewable energy
IRENA provides a range of products and services, including
•Renewables Readiness Assessment, conducted in partnership with
governments and regional organisations to provide policy guidance and
facilitate the sharing of case studies and best practices;
•The Global Renewable Energy Atlas, hosted on the IRENA website, which
maps solar, wind sources country by country;
•The IRENA Renewable Energy Learning Partnership (IRELP), on online
learning network;
•Handbooks for renewable energy policy development;
•Technology briefs and case studies to strengthen evidence-based policymaking and investment;
•Facilitation of renewable energy planning at regional levels;
•Project Navigator and Project Facilitation Platform
•RESOURCE: Online information on renewable energy

REmap 2030 - A roadmap for
doubling the RE share
• REmap explores the potential, cost and benefits of
doubling the renewables share in the global energy mix
• Technology options
 No target setting; options characterised by their cost and
potentials
 Technology options can be combined into scenarios and
translated into policy action
• Focuses on power, district heat and end-use sectors
• Coverage: 40 countries; 80% of the global energy use
 2014 REmap analysis for 26 countries developed together with
and validated by country experts
 14 additional country analyses ongoing

Country coverage
China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia
Australia, Japan, South Korea, Tonga
Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria,
South Africa
Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia
Belarus, Belgium, DK, Germany, France, Italy,
Poland, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, UK, Sweden
Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Rep,
Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay
REmap global final energy use coverage is reaching 80%

REmap 2030 key findings
• Doubling the RE share to 36% in 2030 is technically
achievable with existing technologies
 Higher shares in power generation
 More attention needed for heating and transportation fuels
(biomass)
• Doubling is affordable when externalities are accounted for
 However externalities are not reflected in todays prices.
Many markets are distorted because of energy subsidies
 Macro-economic benefits include more jobs; economic
activity; health benefits; a cleaner environment; improved
energy security
• Potential exists in all countries

Comprehensive REmap country
reports
November 2014
January 2015
May 2015
• Purpose: Translate analysis into actionable options
• Areas for joint action to accelerate RE deployment
• Germany, India, Ukraine, South Africa country reports in
preparation
• Other country reports under consideration

Mapping Out
the Renewable Energy Transition
10%
China is the largest single market for global renewable energy use
19
Energy Supply Consequences
Indicates 2012 level
The doubling of renewables will mostly offset coal consumption
Renewables can be the largest source by 2030
20
The energy transition is affordable
Benefits exceed costs
better human health and CO2 emission reductions are virtually for free
