In INSPIRE's online dashboards search for renewable energy patent information to identify emerging innovative technologies suitable for a specific application as well as active actors in these technology fields. Analyse patent trends for different renewable energy technologies by country or patent applicant, comparing developments within, or between, different technologies.

In the standards database, find international standards on renewable energy to identify methodologies that incorporate international good practices in the implementation of renewable energy projects.
