Green Research Strategy
…the economy the government has proposed to increase the funds for green research, compared to 2020. The government proposes to prioritise four green missions in 2021: 1) carbon capture and storage or utilisation 2) green fuels for transportation and industry (Power-to-X) 3) climate and environmentally-friendly agriculture and food production 4) recycling and reduction of plastic waste The missions are to support the overall climate efforts of the government. In the 'Climate Agreement for Energy and Industry', it was agreed to focus on the green technologies of the future, including energy storage and conversion, carbon capture, utilisation and storage.

Green hydrogen strategy and roadmap
Targets updated to include two phases (2023-2027) and (2028-2032) for shares of renewables in imported ammonia and methanol, electrolyser deployment, and renewable capacity dedicated to hydrogen. Phase 1 (2023-2027) includes 20% imported nitrogen fertlisers to be renewable (100 kt), 100% imported methanol to be renewable (5 kt), 150 MW of renewable capacity dedicated to ELY and 100 MW of ELY. Phase 2 (2028-2032) includes 50% imported nitrogen fertlisers to be renewable (300-400 kt), 350-450 MW of renewable capacity dedicated to ELY and 150-250 MW of ELY

New Caledonia’s Energy Transition Plan 2.0 (2022-…)
The second New Caledonia Energy Transition Plan (2022-…) will provide an update to the first one and its sectoral applications. The announced target of this second plan is to achieve a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of a minimum 70% by 2035, as compared to 2019. There are 3 objectives for 2030: · Greening the mining and metallurgy sectors (at least 50% of renewable energy in their energy mix); · Developing decarbonated mobility (50% of new vehicles to be electric) ;· Boosting the energy transition of the territory and industries.

Austria can build on its strong energy ambitions through targeted reforms and faster delivery
…is entering the next phase of its energy transition with some notable strengths. It already has a higher share of renewables in its electricity mix than any other country in the European Union – supported by a large hydropower fleet that accounts for around 60% of electricity generation and significant pumped hydro storage capacity. Austria is also a leader in developing an integrated plan for electricity, gas, hydrogen and storage infrastructure.The IEA report finds that Austria’s efforts to bolster energy security and reduce emissions reinforce one another. The review also highlights the major shift in Austria’s energy security…

Ireland White Paper Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future 2015-2030
The Irish Government’s Energy White Paper (2015), presents a long-term strategic vision that is intended to guide the direction of Irish energy policy from now until 2030. At its heart is a commitment to transform Ireland into a low carbon society and economy by 2050 and reduce the country’s fossil fuel dependency. This ambitious vision for Ireland’s energy system envisages a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from that sector by 80-95% relative to 1990 levels by 2050. The White Paper identifies the long-term strategic importance of diversifying Ireland's energy portfolio and largely decarbonising…
