Energy Efficiency Outlook for India: Sizing up the opportunity
This report was produced as part of the Energy Efficiency in Emerging Economies (E4) Programme which is managed by the Energy Efficiency Division of the IEA.This analysis aims to inform government, businesses and other stakeholders about the prospects for energy use in India and the role that energy efficiency improvements offer in the period to 2040. It quantifies the potential energy savings and related CO2 emission reductions, and the associated costs and benefits of policies aimed at exploiting that potential. The report also includes energy efficiency policy recommendations for each sector covered.

Energy Efficiency 2018
…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 potential is demonstrated by the Efficient World Scenario developed by the IEA World Energy Outlook. The Efficient World Scenario (EWS) shows a world with 20% more people, 60% more building space and double the GDP, all for a marginal energy demand rise. The EWS also fully delivers the energy efficiency target of UN Sustainable Development Goal 7. All of the measures implemented in this scenario…

India Energy Outlook 2021
…massive expansion in renewable sources of energy, led by solar power. The gains for Indian citizens and their quality of life have been tangible. However, the Covid-19 crisis has complicated efforts to resolve other pressing problems. These include a lack of reliable electricity supply for many consumers; a continued reliance on solid biomass, mainly firewood, as a cooking fuel for some 660 million people; financially ailing electricity distribution companies, and air quality that has made Indian cities among the most polluted in the world. …and the scope for further growth in energy demand and infrastructure is huge India…

Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2022
…access to modern energy by 2030 and reduces energy-related air pollution significantly. The NZE Scenario provides a global benchmark against which changes at the regional level can be assessed. The NZE Scenario would limit the rise in global average temperatures to 1.5°C (with a 50% probability).After a scene-setting discussion in the first chapter, the second chapter describes scenario projections across all fuels and technologies. The third chapter analyses four key areas in depth: investment for the clean energy transition, power sector decarbonisation focusing on system flexibility, low-carbon fuels, and the supply and demand of critical…

Efficient Grid-Interactive Buildings
…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 the ASEAN region.Such buildings are becoming a crucial element for the global ambition to attain net zero emissions, as they can combine enhanced energy efficiency…

Renewables 2020
…hurting – but not halting – global renewable energy growth. Half a year later, the pandemic continues to affect the global economy and daily life. However, 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…

India Oil Market Report
…forecast levels of oil demand in 2030 are lower than those projected for India in the Stated Policies Scenario from the World Energy Outlook 2023 (WEO-2023), which was published in October 2023 and reflects the policy settings of governments worldwide, but they are above those in the WEO-2023’s Announced Pledges Scenario, which maps out a pathway to meeting all countries’ national energy and climate goals such as India’s pledge to reach net zero emissions by 2070. The Report’s analysis highlights the important structural changes that are underway in India’s energy sector and the need…

Decarbonisation Pathways for Southeast Asia
…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 emissions in 2050 or 2060 case (CN2050/2060) from the Decarbonisation of ASEAN Energy Systems: Optimum Technology Selection Model Analysis up to 2060 study.

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…
