IEA experts group "R&D priority setting and evaluation (EGRD)"

With growing global demand for clean energy technologies and increasing climate-related challenges, governments and industries must develop new strategies to achieve resilient and sustainable global clean energy supply chains. This workshop will focus on the challenges of creating resilient and sustainable clean energy supply chains, which requires the integration of diverse data sources and stakeholders to monitor and manage the production, trade, and distribution of net-zero technologies.

A key aspect of this challenge is ensuring the secure and confidential handling of sensitive information, while also navigating the complexities of global supply chains and potential disruptions to the flow of critical materials and components.

Experts will discuss research priorities, policy instruments, and best practices that facilitate the transformation toward resilient and sustainable global clean energy supply chains.

Key Questions

• How can science help governments and industries ensure a resilient and sustainable global clean energy supply chains? What are the key challenges and main risks?
• What are the effective strategies for collection, data management, and sharing, including approaches to maintaining data confidentiality while promoting transparency?
• New technologies and new business models: Where do we stand and what is needed to enhance the resilience of global clean energy supply chains?
• Which instruments and activities must be supported to achieve secure, sustainable, and affordable global clean energy supply chains? Which are the main factors to be considered regarding R&D policies and decision making?

Join us to exchange expertise, share experiences, and help shape a sustainable and secure future.
