Business News Americas, 02 May 2008

Discussing Chile’s possible accession to the IEA with officials from the South American country, the Agency’s Deputy Executive Director William Ramsay told BNamericas that “in the context of Chile becoming a candidate for the OECD, we have obviously sent out feelers to see what the country is thinking about its eventual association with the IEA”. He specified that, to join the IEA, Chile would need to accumulate strategic stockpiles equivalent to at least 90 days of net oil imports.

The newspaper is running a special report on clean energy and refers to the IEA publication Promoting Energy Efficiency Investments which calls on governments to improve energy efficiency. “It is by far the most cost-effective way to deliver increased energy security, reduced energy costs and a cleaner environment”, The Australian quotes the IEA, highlighting that buildings can play a key role as they are responsible for 40 per cent of global energy consumption and 24 per cent of CO2 emissions.

The Independent, 23 April 2008

The current surge in oil prices prompts warnings of global recession, the newspaper writes and quotes IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka as saying at the International Energy Forum (IEF) in Rome that he had “some concern” that the price hike is having “a negative impact on economic growth”.
