Working Party on Fossil Fuels (WPFF)

The Working Party on Fossil Fuels (WPFF) provides advice to the IEA on:

• fossil fuel technology-related policies, trends, projects, programmes;
• strategies which address priority environmental protection and energy security interests, including adequate, flexible, and reliable supply of power and electrical service of Member countries; and
• carry out activities to meet those needs through international co-operation and collaboration facilitated by the IEA.

The functions of the WPFF are:

• identification of the fossil fuel technology-related priority interests, including electric power production technologies, common to IEA Member countries, including their integration with non-fossil fuel technologies;
• promotion of collaborative RD&D and technology deployment as well as electric power production by arranging studies and technology information exchange on topics of common interest, conferences, workshops, and other activities;
• technology co-operation with non-Member countries;
• initiation, evaluation, and review on a periodic basis of Implementing Agreements and other international collaborative activities;
• co-ordination with other sectoral bodies of the IEA which conduct fossil fuel-related studies, information exchanges and meetings relevant to the goals of the WPFF;
• review and evaluation of, and participation in, fossil fuel-related activities conducted by IEA bodies.
