Implementing Clean Energy Transitions
…impact of the road transport sector on energy demand, CO2 emissions and air pollution in several selected major emerging economies over the coming decades under several IEA modelling scenarios. Most notably the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) aims to show to what extent announced ambitions and targets, including the most recent ones, are on the path to deliver emissions reductions required to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.Bringing about a road transport decarbonisation pathway in line with the APS in the selected major emerging economies - Brazil, People’s Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Mexico and South Africa - will require significant…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2022
Annual report 2022 In the five years since its launch, the Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) has become the largest and most important programme at the International Energy Agency (IEA). It has been the main vehicle through which the IEA has established, deepened and strengthened partnerships with major non-member countries – those countries that are at the forefront of the clean energy transition. The programme has also played a crucial role in enabling the IEA to strengthen its global leadership role in clean energy transitions at a pace and scale that would otherwise not have been possible, with great benefit…

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage in Indonesia
Indonesia’s remarkable economic growth over the past half-century has had major implications for its energy sector and emissions, with coal playing a large role in both. Young power plants and industrial facilities producing cement, iron and steel will need clean energy alternatives and energy efficiency measures in order for Indonesia to reach its net zero emissions by 2060 target. Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) can 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…

Navigating Indonesia’s Power System Decarbonisation with the Indonesia Just Energy Transition Partnership
Indonesia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and with its rapidly growing energy demand, abundant energy and mineral resources, it is set to play a key role in the global economic and energy landscape. Decarbonising its power system has been identified as a key enabler to achieve its pledge for net zero emissions by 2060, as coal power dominates its electricity mix. To support Indonesia’s power sector decarbonisation efforts, the Just Energy Transition Partnership was established during a G20 summit in Bali, in November 2022. The first deliverable of the Just Energy Transition Partnership, which…

Decarbonisation Pathways for Southeast Asia
G7 report The International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Institute of Energy Economic, Japan (IEEJ) have developed and published long-term decarbonisation pathways for Southeast Asia and Indonesia. This paper provides a comparison of modelling approaches, quantitative drivers, and results from the IEA and IEEJ pathways, highlighting areas of agreement, as well as identifying and explaining differences, and thereby to derive implications. The IEA pathway used in the comparison is the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) from the World Energy Outlook 2022 and the Energy Sector Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions in Indonesia. The IEEJ pathway is the net zero CO2…

Efficient Grid-Interactive Buildings
Future of buildings in ASEAN A future with net zero emissions requires scaling up improvements in energy efficiency, 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…

A Vision for Clean Cooking Access for All
World Energy Outlook Special Report Nearly one in three people, the vast majority of them in the poorest regions of the world, still lack access to clean cooking facilities, with major ramifications for public health, local environments and socio-economic development. Inhaling hazardous smoke from traditional stoves and open fires causes millions of premature deaths annually, disproportionately affecting women and children. The arduous task of collecting firewood also hinders educational and employment opportunities and strains natural resources – compounding costs for vulnerable populations.The International Energy Agency (IEA) and the African Development Bank Group have joined forces to address this critical…
