GENERATE (Renewable Energies Geopolitics and Future Studies on Energy Transition) is a two years research project (2018-2020) on the Geopolitics of Renewable Energy, on behalf of the French National Research Agency, in a consortium with IFP Energies Nouvelles.
The purpose of the project GENERATE is to analyse the geopolitical consequences of a spread of renewable energies worldwide. This project will focus particularly on three major issues, namely (1) the criticality of energy transition materials for energy technologies (electric vehicle, solar panel, wind turbine, etc.). (2) the new geography of patents for the renewable energy technologies and (3) the oil producing countries development model, and their places on the international energy scene.
