Energy Efficiency Potential in Canada
…long-term estimates of Canada’s maximum energy efficiency potential by end-use sector based in the modelling approach used in the IEA World Energy Outlook 2017. Canada is one of the world’s most energy-intensive economies owing to its large size, cold climate, high standard of living and expanding energy industry. Energy demand has grown at 0.8% per year on average for the past 15 years, and this rate of growth is projected to continue under the IEA Current Policies Scenario, which assumes no new policies or changes to policies already enacted. An alternative scenario, the Energy Efficiency Case…

Energy Efficiency Policy Priorities: Ukraine
…is facing unprecedented energy security challenges as a result of ongoing geopolitical and financial crises. Improving energy efficiency across the economy could strengthen energy security by decreasing the country’s reliance on fossil fuel imports, reduce pressure on public budgets that have historically shouldered billions of euros a year in energy subsidies (although some energy subsidies are now being phased out), reduce costs to consumers and improve the comfort and health of its residents. The good news is that there is a large potential for energy efficiency gains in Ukraine. Measures to tap Ukraine’s energy efficiency potential are described…

Strategic actions to support energy statistics
…Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The document focuses on three aspects of energy statistics central to the EU4Energy programme and the development of statistics in the focus region: improving energy data quality, but also ensuring that statistics publications do not stay on the shelf, by encouraging their wide dissemination and use to support policy-making. The document is available both in English and in Russian. It explains actions that could be undertaken to improve statistics, drawing on the experience of the IEA’s participation in regional energy statistics programmes (such as INOGATE and MEDSTAT), discussions with the focus countries during the inception…

Empowering Ukraine Through a Decentralised Electricity System
…of detail and reliability required for transformation strategies of the energy system. Hence, in context of the report Empowering Ukraine Through a Decentralised Electricity System, a pioneering, detailed and bottom-up approach was developed to create a new high-resolution dataset of capacity and generation potential for Ukraine. The results of the joint rooftop PV potential assessment by IEA and Jülich Systems Analysis are made accessible as open data to support further modeling initiatives. The downloads are found under the “Related files” tab in the “Rooftop PV Assessment” section, both as csv tables and geodata shapefiles. In addition to the data displayed above…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Canada 2004
Energy Policy Review Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Canada 2004 This International Energy Agency review of Canada's energy policies and programmes systematically examines Canada's general energy scene and energy policy and then looks more specifically at energy and the environment, energy efficiency, policies and programs for specific types of energy, and energy R&D. It makes a series of policy recommendations, in particular with regard to meeting demand growth, emissions, efficiency, use of oil sands, and natural gas exploration.

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2023
…Energy Outlook and a World Energy Outlook Special Report on universal access to clean cooking in Africa. Additional highlights included annual updates of our World Energy Investment and World Energy Employment reports along with many others.The programme also provided support to the IEA’s strategically important work on energy efficiency, critical minerals, energy employment, clean energy investment and people-centred energy transitions. The CETP supported the IEA’s efforts to improve energy data collection and to develop capacity among policy makers in partner countries. It contributed to the Agency’s role as a key coordinator of the global energy…

Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries: Ukraine 2012
…a greater priority. The potential for energy efficiency gains in the residential, district heating and industrial sectors is significant. Endowed with large conventional energy reserves, alongside sizeable renewable potential, Ukraine can build the capacity to markedly increase its resource production. Releasing this potential will require deep regulatory reform and full implementation of international treaty provisions. Effective competition, alongside a progressive move towards market prices, will also help Ukraine attract investment to develop the sector. A draft energy strategy, which sets out a series of supply-side measures, was published in 2012. Broadening and implementing a comprehensive energy strategy, one that…

Land-Use Competition between Biodiversity and Net Zero Goals
…between renewables development, energy transition minerals mining and biodiversity conservation. Natural Resources Canada and the IEA partnered to develop this analytical framework capable of highlighting where solar, wind and critical mineral development risk overlapping with important areas for biodiversity conservation around the world, building on Canada’s leadership in providing open-source geospatial information on land use, resource distribution and ecosystems at risk. The new tool compiles 15 global geospatial datasets covering the resource distribution for solar, wind and mineral deposits with datasets on biodiversity and other land-use designations to help resolve competition between various land uses. This analysis…
