Global Youth Energy Outlook
The Global Youth Energy Outlook is a major youth-led research project designed to collect perspectives on the energy transitions from over 30 000 young people all around the world. It is one of the programmes of the Canada-based Student Energy, a global youth-led organisation working with a network of 50 000 young people from over 120 countries to build the knowledge, skills, and networks they need to take action on energy. The outlook is led by a team of 12 regional coordinators from around the globe who are compiling answers to a ten-question survey disseminated internationally…

…energy innovators have more impact towards the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions. To fulfil this, it raises awareness about emerging clean energy technologies in Germany as well as internationally and enhances networking among policy makers, industries and new entrepreneurs in the clean energy area. This annual award generates significant publicity and enthusiasm around clean energy technology internationally at relatively low taxpayer cost. It engages policy makers, industry experts and start-ups on a common platform to highlight challenges for high-potential disruptive ideas. The initiative has an international outlook and is open to participants from around the world…

Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook
…commercial at 12,260 thousand kilolitres, residential sector 11,600 thousand kilolitres and industry at 10,420 thousand kilolitres. Those figures indicate that 35% improvement of final energy intensity needs to be achieved from 2012 to 2030. Renewable electricity generation would be 237-252 TWh, and its share in total electricity generation would be 22-24% in 2030: solar PV 7.0%, wind 1.7%, biomass 3.7-4.6%, geothermal 1.0-1.1% and hydro 8.8-9.2%.
This outlook must be re-examined at least every three years and can be revised corresponding to the situation. -

The concept includes projected (until 2030) volumes of production and consumption of electricity, oil and coal. Concept presents three possible scenarios for the development of the electricity industry:The first scenario: maintaining the role of traditional energy (coal-based), The second scenario: the "balanced" development of traditional and alternative energy, the achievement of targets for the development of environmentally friendly technologies,The third scenario: advanced development of alternative energy, no new traditional energy sources (coal-based).In the…

Energy Island funding
Denmark plans to build two world-first "energy islands" with a minimum capacity of 4 GW to convert low-carbon electricity into green hydrogen and synthetic fuels, supporting its 2050 carbon neutrality goal. One of the islands, located in the North Sea, will be co-owned by the government and private partners, with strategic collaborations involving Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg. A 3 GW offshore wind island near Jutland, expandable to 10 GW, has also been approved with a total investment of DKK 210 billion (€28 billion).
