RENAC Online Academy Launches New Green Hydrogen Programme
Green Hydrogen Specialist: Project Development and Economics is a new six-month online programme that delves into the complex aspects of this key element in the low-carbon transition. It covers hydrogen electrolysis, ammonia production, fuel cells, transport options, and green hydrogen markets.
Private investors and financial institutions are seeking green hydrogen projects to invest in, making this an ideal time to acquire the skills to attract potential investors and create profitable business plans. Designed for project developers and financiers, it also equips participants with essential skills to plan viable projects and evaluate risks. The overall study time is about 150 hours resulting in a weekly study time commitment of approximately 5–7 hours.
Online Academy programmes provide a flexible learning experience with theoretical content, self-tests, videos, and interactive forums. You can also earn a RENAC certificate upon completion. Learn more and book your spot by 1 October!
This summer, take advantage of one or more of our 18 one-month online courses, including the new SHIP course. Enrol today and start 1 July.

New Course on Wind Turbine Technology Added to Green Energy Summer School (GESS)
This year’s GESS will include three one-week courses:
• Introduction to Renewable Energy (RE) Technologies (21–25 August)
• Management and Economics of Photovoltaic (PV) Projects (28 August–1 September)
• Wind Turbine Technology (4–8 September)
The new wind technology course prepares participants for wind sector careers. The course covers how wind turbine generators are made and function and how they are operated in a wind farm to produce green energy. It also includes an experiential learning component by incorporating a laboratory turbine learning tool, the Wind-Lab. Wind-lab allows participants to conduct hands-on experiments and reflect on their understanding of the technology.
Courses will take place at the RENAC Training Centre in Berlin. They will include in-person lectures, hands-on exercises, and a site visit. Early Bird discounts are available for each course. Courses can be booked as a package or separately.

Australia-Germany Energy Partnership Discussed the Hydrogen Industry Ramp Up
In May, RENAC hosted a four-day tour through Germany for experts from the Australian Government and the hydrogen industry to deepen the ongoing dialogue and cooperation. Australia sees great potential in renewable hydrogen production, leveraging its strengths, while Germany offers technology and services along the whole value chain, along with hydrogen imports.
The programme featured site visits, discussions, and receptions with leading German companies, government representatives, and associations in Augsburg, Munich, Berlin, Stade, Hamburg, and Duisburg. Experts from both countries expressed strong interest in continued exchange.
The trip was organised by RENAC on behalf of the Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action within the Australia-Germany Energy Partnership in cooperation with its partners adelphi, the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, and the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade).

SOARING Project Concludes with Workshops in Tanzania and Zambia
Since 2019, SOARING implementing project partners REEEP and RENAC have conducted 12 workshops and published 7 fact sheets covering different renewable energy technology applications in the agribusiness and rural electrification sectors in Tanzania and Zambia. SOARING workshops guided participants in creating mechanisms to support climate-friendly strategies for SME growth.
In March, the training workshops concluded with over 30 participants completing renewable energy investment training workshops in both countries. This was followed by the Renewable Energy Financing Platform event attended by more than 120 stakeholders from the private sector, government entities, financing partners, and civil society organisations in both countries.
This project is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) supported by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

Important Insights from EurObserv'ER Wind Energy and Photovoltaic Barometers
The most recent EurObserv'ER Wind Energy Barometer and Photovoltaic Barometer have been published. The European Union's (EU) wind energy sector remains resilient despite challenging wind conditions. In 2022, wind power output rebounded by 8.4% to reach 419.5 TWh, an increase of 32.6 TWh compared to 2021. EurObserv'ER puts the newly installed capacity at about 15 GW, including 963 MW of offshore capacity.
Solar photovoltaic energy continues to shine brightly. The EU connected at least 32.8 GWac of net maximum capacity in 2022 and 195.4 GWac of capacity. Its combined solar power output of 205.2 TWh increased by 29.6% (46.9 TWh) compared to 2021, driven by the record levels of sunshine in 2022.
EurObserv'ER Barometers are available to the public free of charge.
