On 30 September to 4 October, the annual Clean Energy Ministerial and Mission Innovation meeting (CEM15/MI-9) takes place in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. The meeting is one of the largest clean energy events of the year, as stakeholders from around the globe are brought together to discuss and promote the green energy transition. The theme for this year’s meeting is “Accelerating the Global Clean Energy Transition”, and the CEM/MI communities and the G20 Energy Ministers are gathering to put forward an action-focused agenda for this purpose.

Nordic Energy Research will be co-hosting two events during the conference, on 1 and 2 October. Our events are centered on hydrogen technologies and the coordination of funding for clean energy projects.

At our event on 2 October, we are honoured to have Kadri Simson, Commissioner for Energy at the European Commission, and Terje Aasland, Energy Minister in Norway, with us on stage. Each of them will give an opening speech to set the scene for a session about materials for energy and hydrogen.
