        Energy Efficiency in Emerging Economies

        The need for more and better energy efficiency is more pressing than ever Energy efficiency plays a critical role in addressing climate change, energy security and the economic welfare of people. The E4 programme has pioneered the IEA’s work with major emerging economies since 2014, supporting Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa at a country-level and in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa at a regional-level. The programme supports exchanges and cross-learning between partner countries and regions, helping countries build, implement and monitor effective energy efficiency.Against the…

        Transport Project Partnership

        …part of IEA's Global Energy and Climate model. These modelling tools are aimed at improving the understanding of the role of different technologies and fuels across different transport modes with respect to energy consumption and CO2 emissions, as well as supporting the analysis of all aspects of mobility. This work has two main components:
        A database updated every year to link vehicle activity data with energy demand.
        A set of models used for the elaboration of future projections (scenarios) updated every year. IEA transport modelling currently projects activity for all the major fuel-consuming transport sub-sectors: road, rail…

        Critical Minerals Security Programme

        Critical minerals have risen rapidly up the policy agenda as a cornerstone of energy and economic security. These minerals are not only crucial for energy technologies but also play a vital role in high-tech industries, aerospace, defence, AI data centres, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing, making them central not only to energy security but also to broader national and economic resilience. The IEA Critical Minerals Security Programme is the Agency’s flagship framework designed to help countries strengthen mineral security. Building on the IEA’s leading analytical capabilities in critical minerals markets and its long-standing experience in safeguarding energy…

        Data-Driven Electrification in Africa

        Universal energy access is one of the main driving forces in alleviating poverty and ensuring sustainable and inclusive economic growth The energy access sector is undergoing deep transformations as it strives to eliminate energy poverty, but there is a pressing need to equip governments with more actionable and targeted tools for integrated electricity planning. These resources are crucial to maximize the effectiveness of both centralised and decentralised solutions, leveraging off-grid initiatives led by the private sector, such as the deployment of mini-grids and stand-alone home solar systems.These off-grid solutions are essential to provide access to…
