Innovative Renewable Energy Research Program
…sustainable supply of energy and water in the future by providing innovative renewable energy and/or clean combustion solutions. The program includes studies to identify the optimum RE technologies to be installed, technologies to be tested and modified to fit loacal conditions, and conducting R & D producing novel systems to address particular future needs of Kuwait. The particular focus technologies are: solar photovoltaic; Concentrating Solar Power (solar thermal power generation); solar cooling; wind power; fuel cells, including hydrogen storage technologies and clean combustion technologies. The steps taken in this program are expected to enable commercialization of developed prototype systems.

Ten milestones in 2021 - Hydrogen roadmap & Geothermal projects
…regions, in three strategic axes: 1) Energy Transition, 2) Energy security and 3) Mining diversification and formalization.
Among these objectives, one is to develop a hydrogen roadmap & the implementation of geothermal energy:
- A hydrogen roadmap for the next decade will be made public in the first half of 2021, with the support of the Inter-American Development Bank;
- Three geothermal pilots will be developed in the Eastern Plains.
A new hydrogen roadmap from the Ministry is currently being presented for public consultation, including targets for 2030 (achieving an installed electrolysis capacity of 1GW), boosting hydrogen demand in vehicles etc… -
National strategy for low-carbon hydrogen 2025
This strategy is a revision of the national hydrogen strategy from 2020 which was setting a budget of USD 9.7 billion (EUR 9 billion by 2030). The new guidelines focus on targets for the installation of electrolysis capacity across the country, with a target of up to 4.5 GW by 2030 and 8 GW installed by 2035, as well as the roll-out in France of low-carbon hydrogen transport infrastructure within hydrogen hubs

Climate Action Plan 2021–2030
Norway's comprehensive climate action plan was presented/published on the 8th of January 2021 to meet climate targets under the Paris Agreement and promote green growth. The government presented a plan to reduce emissions in all sectors. Norway has entered into an agreement with the EU to take part in EU climate legislation for the period 2021-2030. The climate cooperation covers the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS), the Effort Sharing Regulation for non-ETS emissions (ESR), and the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) Regulation. A key element of the plan is a gradual increase…
