In the pilot phase, around 130,000 liters of e-fuels will be produced as early as 2022. In two further phases, capacity is then to be increased to about 55 million liters of e-fuels a year by 2024, and around 550 million liters of e-fuels by 2026. Porsche will be the primary customer for the green fuel. Other partners in the project are the energy firm AME and the petroleum company ENAP from Chile and Italian energy company Enel. | Ocean Energy | IRENA and Ocean Energy Europe Partner to Drive Ocean Energy Industry  The CEO of Ocean Energy Europe (OEE), Rémi Gruet and the Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Francesco La Camera, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the annual Ocean Energy Europe Conference & Exhibition. The partnership will deepen existing cooperation to accelerate the commercialization of ocean energy technologies, by promoting policy incentives and innovative business models in Europe and globally. | Panorama | India Needs a “REnewed” Strategy  India has ambitious plans for installing renewable energy capacities of 175GW by 2022. This includes 100 GW from solar, 60 GW from wind, 10GW from bio-sources and 5 GW from small hydro. Although the pace of renewable energy capacity additions, particularly solar, has increased in the recent years, the targets are likely to be missed in some individual segments of renewable energy. | UK Government needs to seriously reassess its approach to Net Zero finds NAO report Pioneering renewable energy village project earmarked for NE Scotland France Hydrogène and EIB Sign Agreement to Accelerate Support for Hydrogen Projects in France Wind | Clearway Completes Third Major Repowering Project in Texas  Clearway Energy Group has finished repowering the now 160 MW Langford wind farm, increasing its nameplate capacity by 10 MW and generational output by more than 25%.
