Energy savings
…increased activity, such as home building and increased home sizes. In the transport sector, most efficiency improvements were realised in passenger vehicles – around one-sixth of the total. These energy savings were higher than the increased demand due to the rising number, frequency and distance of people travelling. Efficiency improvements in freight transport, such as trucks, drove around 1% of the total energy savings. This was lower than the rise in freight transport activity over the same period.

Clean Energy Technology Supply Chain Data
…an essential role to play. The availability of good-quality, timely data is crucial to gaining this understanding and to identifying and addressing supply chain vulnerabilities.This report is provided as an input to the discussions taking place as part of the Global Clean Power Alliance Supply Chains Mission – an initiative established by the Government of the United Kingdom to advance practical solutions to strengthen clean power supply chains. This report addresses the data component of this initiative and explores the challenges – and potential solutions – to the paucity of granular and timely data associated with clean energy technology supply chains.

Energy and AI in East Asia
…the Korea Energy Economics Institute and was carried out jointly by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Korea Energy Economics Institute. The study has three objectives in the context of East Asia. First is to explore the possibilities presented by AI for the energy sector. Second is to examine the expected increase in electricity demand by data centres, and the impact on grid planning and operation. Third is to provide policy recommendations for embracing the opportunities presented by the application of AI to energy, as well as policies for proactively managing the challenges presented by the consumption of energy by…

National Climate Resilience Assessment for Mozambique
…end of the century. Diversifying the power generation mix guards against some of these risks. Mozambique envisages the deployment of 1 GW of new solar PV and up to 0.5 GW of onshore wind capacity by 2030. Considering changing precipitation patterns and risks for floods and droughts in siting new projects would also be important to reduce the risk of asset damage and loss.Heavy precipitation and floods could also pose a risk to the secure operation of Mozambique’s coal mines. As Africa’s second largest coal producer, Mozambique’s economy strongly relies on these exports, which made up 13…
