        National Renewable Energy Strategy (2024-2034)

        The National Renewable Energy Strategy (2024-2034) establishes Tanzania’s framework for expanding renewable energy deployment across the electricity system and other sectors. The strategy sets targets to increase renewable generation capacity by 2034, including 804 MW of solar power, 750 MW of wind power, 215 MW of geothermal capacity, and 3,281 MW of large hydropower, alongside additional renewable energy from small power projects such as 200 MW of mini-hydro, 119.8 MW of solar SPPs, and about 85 MW of biomass waste-to-energy projects. It also promotes renewable applications for cooking, agriculture and water supply, and…

        Renewable Gas Auction

        In May 2024, the Portuguese government launched an auction for the centralized purchase of clean hydrogen and biomethane produced by electrolysis of water using  electricity from renewable energy sources. It will be composed of two parcels: 150 GWh/year of biomethane; and 120 GWh/year of hydrogen.The results of the competitive procedure were published in February 2025.

        Renewable Energy Directive - National transposition of industry target

        The Renewable Energy Directive was transposed on December 2024, but the provisions regarding RFNBO use in industry are not yet fully defined and the Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities is designated as responsible to define the rules for the voluntary labeling schemes, specify the quotas and the methodology

        Renewable Energy Directive - National transposition for industry and transport

        The government held a public consultation on the Renewable Energy Directive transposition from July to September 2024, with final legislation still pending. As of July 2025, a new consultation is underway on transport quotas. The proposal includes a 2.5% RFNBO quota for transport by 2030, with no general transport quotas before then. However, there are phased quotas for hydrogen use in refineries, starting at 0.25% in 2027 and rising to 1.5% by 2030. Multipliers apply 2x for general transport and 1.5x for aviation and shipping. The proposal includes no penalties for non-compliance.

        Renewable hydrogen exchange market trial in Tokyo

        The Tokyo Commodity Exchange (Tocom), on behalf of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, launched hydrogen tenders in December 2024. On the supply side, one winner offered JPY 300/Nm³ (USD 21.2/kg). On the demand side, two winners bid JPY 89/Nm³ (USD 6.3/kg) and JPY 230/Nm³ (USD 16.3/kg). The government will subsidize the price gap. Deliveries ran from January to March 2025. A second trial is planned for July–September 2025. Supplier and buyer tenders were scheduled for May, with results expected in early June and contracts signed the same month. In June 2025…

        Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG 2023)

        Germany updated its Renewable Energy Act (Erneuerbare-Energie-Gesetz, EEG) in 2023 to align with the 1.5 degree path of the Paris Climate Agreement. The  EEG 2023 put in place more ambitious renewable expansion goals and improved the framework conditions for renewable energies. As part of the EEG, Germany aims to meet at least 80% of its electricity consumption through renewable energies by 2030. The plan also includes financing the costs of the EEG though the Federal budget - having replaced the former levy on electricity prices. For 2024, around €16.2 billion is allocated for the financing of the…

        Renewable hydrogen hubs

        The Indian government has allocated INR 2 billion (USD 24 million) to establish at least two renewable hydrogen hubs, each with a minimum capacity of 0.1 Mtpa. Larger hubs are prioritized, with project size and infrastructure proximity accounting for 50% of the evaluation criteria. A tender issued in August 2024 (open until January 2025) offers up to INR 1 billion per project, with completion expected by April 2026 (extendable by 6 months, subject to penalties up to INR 5 million). Evaluation also considers secured financing (30%) and demand (20%).

        Germany's 2nd Amendment to the Building Energy Act (GEG) - phase-out of fossil fuels

        In 2023, German Federal Government approved amendments to the Building Energy Act for new heating systems to use at least 65% renewable energy from 2024 onwards and for fossil fuels to phase out from heating by Jan 2045 in line with its climate-neutrality target.The ban will initially apply to new buildings, existing buildings will still allow a gas system until the deadline for municipalities to submit a heat plan (2026 for large cities and 2028 for towns). New gas boilers will continue to be allowed to be installed, if these boilers are operated with renewable gas, including hydrogen…

        National Strategy for the Energy Sector

        …expanding the sector capacity, supporting non conventional renewable sources (ERNC) and promoting the sustainable ficing of the system.
        The Strategy is built on six main goals, namely strengthening the non-conventional renewable sector, promoting energy efficiency, supporting a stronger and sustainable hydropower sector, a great attention to grid expansion and public transmission projects, moving towards a competitive electricity market and encouraging the regional electricity interconnections to neighbouring countries.
        The strategy reiterates the target of 10% of national electricity from non-conventional renewable sources by 2024, as stated in the Non-conventional renewable energy law (Law 20,257). The strategy states…
