The International Renewable Energy Agency has launched what it calls "the world’s largest collection of global renewable energy standards and patents."
The International Standards and Patents in Renewable Energy platform, also known as INSPIRE, allows users to search and analyze 400 international standards and more than 2 million patents for renewable energy technology.
IRENA collaborated with the European Patent Office and the International Electrotechnical Commission to develop the platform.
“The INSPIRE platform provides a strategic window into the innovation and growth taking place in the renewable energy sector,” said IRENA Director-General Adnan Amin. “It consolidates vast collections of renewable energy patents and standards, which can foster collaboration between innovators, spur improvement through product comparison and help identify partners by matching domestic energy needs to innovative energy solutions.”
