International renewable agency to be set up
LowCarbonEconomy.com 06 November 2008 An international agency to promote the rapid transition to worldwide sustainable use of renewable energy is to be set up early next year.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), an initiative that was originated by Germany, Spain and Denmark but now has 51 adherents, will be founded at a conference on January 26th.

Member states, which include most European countries, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, India, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates, agreed to the statute for the IRENA at the Final Preparatory Conference held last month in Madrid.

IRENA will act as a global voice for renewables, bringing the new clean technology sector on level with the fossil fuel and nuclear energy organisations.
