Unlocking Romania’s clean energy potential
Energy Industry Review has organized on October 17, 2024 at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel an exceptional event – GREEN POWER SUMMIT 2024 – Unlocking Romania’s Clean Energy Potential.This 2nd edition of the GREEN POWER SUMMIT is intended to be a key meeting where industry leaders will gather to discuss and debate key topics:
- Exploring cutting-edge technologies to advance sustainable energy sources in a net-zero world
- Discussing new opportunities and challenges facing Romania in the new era of green energy
- Identifying priority actions to achieve the COP28 outcome: Tripling renewable energy capacity, doubling progress on energy efficiency, substantially reducing methane emissions
- Focus on regional cooperation for energy balancing Romania’s clean energy potential
Cristian Dragomir, CEO of WALDEVAR Energy had the honor to speak on the first panel, which focused on 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, as well as 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐩 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚.
The importance of these meetings of key market players cannot be disputed. Clean energy is growing rapidly, as annual deployment of several key technologies has surged ahead in recent years driven by policy support and continued cost declines. Their growth is starting to make a dent on emissions and reshape energy markets. In the meantime, IRENA calls for annual renewable power additions of almost 1 TW on average by 2030 to keep the climate target within reach. Electrification and energy efficiency are the key transition drivers towards a cleaner future powered by PV and wind energy, green hydrogen, and biomass.
Also, other types of renewables and low-carbon gases will play a key role, alongside other technologies towards achieving climate neutrality along the goals set forth by the European Green Deal and the interim goals for 2030 expressed by the Fit for 55 Package.
