BRICS New and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Working Group
The New and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Working Group is one of the newest subgroups within the BRICS Science, Technology, and Innovation framework, coordinated by China. This working group aims to foster scientific and technological cooperation in green energy and innovative energy technologies.
Collaboration Priorities of the Working Group
Smart Grid and Digitalization
The application of smart technologies, digital systems, artificial intelligence, and data analytics in optimal power grid management is a key focus of this working group.
Synthetic Fuels and Green Energy
Developing synthetic fuels, clean energy, and innovative energy production methods are among the priority areas for the members.
Solar Panels, Wind Energy, and Biofuels
Increasing solar energy efficiency, expanding wind energy technologies, and adopting biofuels are common priorities among BRICS countries in this working group.
Proposed Collaborations and Scientific Activities
Members presented proposals for joint cooperation, emphasized publishing specialized journals with scientific articles from BRICS projects, and discussed the possibility of exchanging PhD students and young scientists through scholarships and internships.
The Importance of Energy Cooperation in BRICS
Incorporating new energy topics into BRICS scientific and technological cooperation marks a new stage of strategic collaboration. The significance of this topic is such that it will be reviewed independently and in detail in future meetings.
