On 16 June, IRENA is releasing the Global Atlas pocket, an app that enables anyone with a smart phone to prospect for renewable energy projects anywhere on the planet, for free. It is the most advanced tool of its kind, and allows any mobile device to be turned into a prospecting tool for renewable energy opportunities. The pocket helps answer questions like, can geothermal energy power this island? What percentage of this city can be powered by solar energy? If I want to invest in a wind power project, where are the highest potential locations?
