IEA supports Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy in developing a national energy data strategy
…the IEA. This follows an agreement by IEA member countries for Brazil to begin the accession process to the Agency. “This marks the beginning of a new chapter in IEA–Brazil cooperation, which has grown steadily since the country became an Association country in 2017. Energy data and statistics have long been a central pillar of cooperation," said Burce Warlick. Addressing the new data strategy, Acting Secretary of Energy Transition and Planning at the MME Lorena Perim said: “More than just an initiative of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, this is a collective effort of the sector, which recognizes…

The Implications of Oil and Gas Field Decline Rates
Much attention today focuses on uncertainties affecting the future evolution of oil and natural gas demand, with less consideration given to how the supply picture could develop. However, understanding decline rates – the annual rate at which production declines from existing oil and gas fields – is crucial for assessing the outlook for oil and gas supply and, by extension, for market balances.The International Energy Agency (IEA) has long examined this issue, and a detailed understanding of decline rates is at the heart of IEA modelling and analysis, underpinning the insights provided by the scenarios in the World Energy Outlook.This new…

Scaling Up Transition Finance
Scaling Up
Transition
Finance Actions by emissions-intensive sectors, companies and countries are crucial to placing the world on a sustainable pathway. Yet investments that could deliver meaningful reductions in their environmental footprint often do not receive sufficient financial support. Currently, finance is drawn heavily to certain “green” assets and activities. While vital, these investments alone cannot deliver all the changes needed to cut global emissions, especially in areas where clean technologies are not yet commercially available or cost-competitive. This is where transition finance comes in: it can help emissions-intensive countries, companies and sectors shift over time towards…
