Renewables 2020
…renewable markets, especially electricity-generating technologies, have already shown their resilience to the crisis. Renewables 2020 provides detailed analysis and forecasts through 2025 of the impact of Covid-19 on renewables in the electricity heat and transport sectors. Executive summary Renewables’ resilience is driven by the electricity sector In sharp contrast to all other fuels, renewables used for generating electricity will grow by almost 7% in 2020. Global energy demand is set to decline 5% – but long-term contracts, priority access to the grid and continuous installation of new plants are all underpinning strong growth in renewable electricity.

Attracting private investment to fund sustainable recoveries: The case of Indonesia's power sector
…like Indonesia, have an opportunity to support recovery... On the back of the worldwide shock caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, economic recovery will depend largely on the ability of countries to finance and implement supportive fiscal packages. The crisis also marks an opportunity to promote development aligned with longer-term sustainability goals, with the energy sector central to these efforts.A number of governments, primarily in advanced economies, have announced large programmes to address the impacts of confinement measures and stimulate the economy. France’s fiscal package is around 5% of gross domestic product (GDP), the United States close…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2020
…supporting the IEA family under the CETP so that we deliver, together, a better energy future. 2020 was a critical year for the prospects of clean energy transitions worldwide. Since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing economic crisis, the IEA has led calls for governments to both achieve a sustainable, resilient recovery and address the looming climate crisis.Throughout this challenging year, the Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) played an important role in ensuring that the task of building a secure and sustainable energy future was strengthened. The programme’s activities were adapted to confront the disruption…

Coal 2020
Analysis and forecast to 2025 Coal 2020 highlights recent global and regional trends in coal demand, supply and trade, and an outlook to 2025. The extraordinary circumstances in 2020 impacted coal markets and lend uncertainty to how they will be tailored in a post-Covid-19 economic recovery. Therefore, Coal 2020 spotlights developments in 2020 and expected conditions in 2021. It also provides an analysis of the evolution of coal supply costs, prices and investment in mining projects. China – the world’s largest coal producer and importer as well as consumer of more than half of global coal – is highlighted…

Advancing Decarbonisation through Clean Electricity Procurement
…procurement costs and technology deployment. A key finding is that when companies set more granular goals – such as matching their electricity demand hourly (rather than annually as has been the dominant practice) – it can stimulate deployment of the wider portfolio of flexible technologies needed for net zero transitions in the power sector.The report aims to guide corporates in choosing impactful ways to procure clean electricity. It also highlights the roles of policy makers, regulators, system operators and network owners and operators in increasing the availability and impact of corporate procurement options. The final chapter offers targeted recommendations for different…

Reducing Emissions in Fossil-Fired Generation - Indonesia, Malaysia and Viet Nam
…were to go ahead, existing and planned coal-fired power generation would lead to the long-term “lock-in” of high levels of GHG emissions. While more efficient technologies play an important role in reducing the emissions intensity of coal-fired power generation, they are only part of the solution to improve the environmental impact of a power sector that is presently heavily dependent on fossil fuels – and increasingly on coal. Mounting environmental pressures will undoubtedly lead to a softening of the coal capacity targets, with a need for carbon capture and storage to be ultimately deployed. Improved energy efficiency…

Efficient Grid-Interactive Buildings
…electrification of end uses and renewable energy generation. For the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), a growing population and rising standards of living will massively increase future energy demand. Mitigating growing electricity demand and integrating renewable energy into electricity generation will therefore be paramount for the region’s clean energy transition and avoid lock-in of additional fossil fuel generation. The intermittent nature of variable renewable energy and increasing deployment of distributed energy resources are putting additional pressure on existing grids. In response to these challenges, this report explores the opportunities and challenges for efficient grid-interactive buildings in…

Enhancing Indonesia’s Power System
…provided by the IEA towards Indonesia’s efforts to reform its energy sector and is consistent with IEA’s forthcoming Energy Sector Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions in Indonesia. The overarching objective of the assignment was to assist Indonesia in tackling short-term power system challenges, by achieving key targets such as reaching a 23% share of renewable energy in the national electricity mix by 2025 in a secure and affordable fashion, and by making grids progressively smarter. The assignment included the organisation of a number of workshops for Indonesian stakeholders and a techno-economic study performed by the IEA…

Energy Efficiency 2018
…current technology. This delayed action on energy efficiency ends up locking in inefficiencies that mean much stronger action needs to be taken in the future. 2.2 million barrels of oil per day If all countries had adopted the best passenger fuel economy standards. 16% of industry electricity use If all countries had adopted the strongest electric motor standards. $20 billion If everyone had purchased the top 10% most efficient refrigerators. The Efficient World Scenario So what will the world look like if between now and 2040 countries implemented all the economically viable energy efficiency potential that is available? The…

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage in Indonesia
…be an important technology to help achieve that goal.Indonesia is already taking meaningful steps, finalising the first regulatory framework for CCUS in Southeast Asia in early 2023. However, for CCUS to play its diverse role in Indonesia’s decarbonisation further steps are needed to expand the current framework beyond the oil and gas sector. This policy brief examines opportunities for CCUS deployment in industry, electricity generation and fuel transformation. It offers key considerations to build out Indonesia’s existing regulatory framework to enable the decarbonisation of other sectors and put Indonesia in a position to lead regional CCUS deployment.
