Clean Energy Innovation
…such as the importance of governments maintaining research and development funding at planned levels through 2025 and considering raising it in strategic areas.
The report comes with a new ETP Clean Energy Technology Guide that encompasses around 400 component technologies and identifies their stage of readiness for the market. Executive summary Why we need innovation Without a major acceleration in clean energy innovation, net-zero emissions targets will not be achievable. The world has seen a proliferating number of pledges by numerous governments and companies to reach net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the coming decades as part of…

Mozambique Case Study
Cost of Capital Observatory Case Study The Cost of Capital Observatory is an initiative from the IEA, the World Economic Forum, ETH Zurich and Imperial College London. The aim of the Observatory is to increase transparency in the energy sector and inspire investor confidence, especially in emerging and developing countries where data on financing costs is scarcer.Case Studies include lessons learnt of how policymakers, together with the private sector, development finance institutions and other entities managed to mitigate risks and mobilise capital for clean energy sectors across the emerging and developing world.

Energy Technology Initiatives 2010
Energy Technology Initiatives 2010 Through its broad range of multilateral technology initiatives (Implementing Agreements), the IEA enables member and non-member countries, businesses, industries, international organisations and non-government organisations to share research on breakthrough technologies, to fill existing research gaps, to build pilot plants and to carry out deployment or demonstration programmes.
Energy Technology Initiatives: Implementation through Multilateral Co-operation, highlights the most significant recent achievements of the 42 IEA Implementing Agreements. -
Conditions and requirements for the technical feasibility of a power system with a high share of renewables in France towards 2050
…a power system with 100% renewable energy sources. Both options rely on significantly scaling up variable renewables: wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) power. The French Ministry for the Ecological Transition commissioned the International Energy Agency (IEA) and France’s transmission system operator, RTE, to jointly carry out a framework study identifying the conditions and requirements to assess the technical feasibility of scenarios in which the power system would be based on very high shares of renewables. This report presents their findings. The main conclusions focus on four sets of strict conditions that would need to be met towards a technically…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: Spain 2015 Review
…has fundamentally changed the remuneration scheme for renewable energy. Spain must now maintain its strong and long-term commitment to a financially sustainable electricity system. To improve investor confidence, it should also closely follow the principles of transparency, predictability and certainty when revising policies and regulations. New momentum for establishing additional cross-border connections in electricity and gas will eventually enable Spain to use its large power and liquefied natural gas capacity to increase flexibility, diversity and security in the European Union internal market. The government should now focus on longer-term issues including energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions…

The Future of Geothermal Energy
…Now, the geothermal industry is at a critical juncture.New technologies are enabling access to previously untapped resources, while cost reductions and innovative financing models are paving the way for increasing geothermal’s role in energy systems around the world. Additionally, techniques developed by the oil and gas industry – including a strong understanding of the subsurface, drilling and completing wells, predicting fluid flows and managing large-scale projects – can rapidly drive down costs and help tap geothermal resources deeper in the ground.However, to successfully scale up geothermal energy, a number of challenges need to be addressed, including project development…

Energy Technologies at the Cutting Edge
…issues in a cost-effective way are the main challenges of energy policies and in the longer term will be solved only through technology co-operation. To encourage collaborative efforts to meet these energy challenges, the IEA created a legal contract – Implementing Agreement – and a system of standard rules and regulations. This allows interested member and non-member governments or other organisations to pool resources and to foster the research, development and deployment of particular technologies. For more than 30 years, this international technology collaboration has been a fundamental building block in facilitating progress of new or improved energy technologies…

Saving Oil in a Hurry
Saving Oil in a Hurry (2018) provides a set of actionable recommendations for governments on how to effectively reduce oil demand in the event of an oil supply disruption. This report includes the latest developments using digital technologies. The demand restraint toolbox is structured around different categories of measures that countries can choose from to determine the most appropriate short-term measures to rapidly save oil when facing a crisis. In addition to the short-term benefits, the report briefly explores how demand restraint measures might be implemented in a mid- to long-term timeframe to encourage a low-carbon…
