Biofuel Policy in Brazil, India and the United States
…focus the Alliance’s work by sharing biofuel policy insights from Brazil, India and the United States. We find that these countries have expanded biofuel production and use by designing long-term strategies, implementing the right investment signals, supporting innovation, ensuring supplies are secure and affordable, addressing sustainability concerns early and collaborating with the international community. Further, there are three priority areas that would facilitate sustainable biofuel deployment in support of the global energy transition: Identifying and helping develop markets with high potential for sustainable biofuels production, accelerating technology deployment and seeking consensus on performance-based sustainability assessments and frameworks.

Cleaner Coal in China
…are of concern to the Chinese government as it embarks on its own climate protection strategy.
Technology solutions are already transforming the way coal is used in China and elsewhere. This study explores the context in which the development and deployment of these technologies can be accelerated. Providing a large amount of new data, it describes in detail the situation in China as well as the experiences of other countries in making coal cleaner. Above all, the report calls for much greater levels of collaboration – existing bi-lateral and multi-lateral co-operation with China on coal is found lacking… -

Clean energy transitions: Accelerating innovation beyond 2020
Focus on India In recent years, governments have increasingly focused on innovation as a means to accelerate clean energy transitions and meet climate targets under the Paris Agreement. Despite efforts, illustrated by Mission Innovation country pledges to double public research and development spending in clean energy over a five-year period, much remains to be done. This brief Discussion Paper provides an overview of IEA work on innovation as part of clean energy transitions, tapping into India’s experiences and success stories. It also considers aspects relevant to multilateral innovation partnerships including Mission Innovation, and suggests ways forward for policy…

Technology Development Prospects for the Indian Power Sector
Technology Development Prospects for the Indian Power Sector The Indian power sector will face numerous challenges over the next four decades. More than one-third of India’s population currently does not have access to electricity. Urgent action is needed to overcome this problem of energy poverty. At the same time, rapid economic growth is projected to increase electricity demand by fivefold to sixfold between now and 2050. Massive investments will be needed to meet this increased demand, but this will also create unique opportunities to transform the power sector towards a low-carbon future. This report presents in more…
