Co-Benefits is a capacity-building programme targeting policy makers and other relevant actors in energy, climate and environmental policy in four countries: India, South Africa, Vietnam, Turkey. The project strengthens governmental departments and agencies in charge of climate and energy issues in the target countries in their ability to advice their ministerial clients on the co-benefits of renewable power generation, to spur ambitious as well as effective NDC implementation.

The Federal Foreign Office, assisted by the Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG, is supporting the German missions abroad in communicating the German Energiewende internationally.

Targeting the general public and the media as well as policy makers, investors and industrialists, EurObserv’ER’s descriptive reports provide a comprehensive picture about the diffusion and growth of renewable energies in the European Union.

Im Rahmen der Exportinitiative Energie, welche vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWi) gefördert wird, bietet die Renewables Academy (RENAC) AG zu ausgewählten Technologien und Zielländern verschiedene Veranstaltungen an.

Green Banking - Capacity Building on Green Energy and Climate Finance is a scholarship programme within the German International Climate Initiative (IKI). The Renewables Academy AG (RENAC) has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) to provide a three-year capacity building programme on renewable energy and energy efficiency finance in the partner countries Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, India and Indonesia.

This capacity building programme aims at enabling and fostering knowledge transfer between Iran and Germany in order to contribute to the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency and therefore to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. It will create a space for knowledge exchange and innovation for a wide range of stakeholders from the public and private sector.

The objective of the three-year Solar Payback project: Promoting the use of Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) across four partner countries – South Africa, India, Mexico and Brazil. As part of the German International Climate Initiative (IKI), it is raising awareness of the technical and economic potential of SHIP technologies by clear and transparent information on the costs and benefits of SHIP applications and by helping to build selected reference systems. Solar Payback also cooperates with financial institutions to develop models which will assist stakeholders and investors in securing access to financing.

TROPHI is a capacity building project that aims to accelerate the market development of rooftop photovoltaic systems in India.
