Breakout session: Scaling up emerging sustainable fuel pathways
…processes. Some others, included lignocellulosic biofuels and alcohol-to-jet fuel are reaching the market in certain geographies. As a potential sustainable shipping fuel, ammonia and methanol are being tested at scale and order books for large engines designed for these fuels are filling up.There is significant latent demand for these fuels from airlines and shipping companies if scale can be achieved and costs reduced. However, innovators trying to bring these fuels to market often face significant challenges to fund and operate first-of-a-kind commercial projects that could help reduce costs in the medium-term. In addition…

Financing the ASEAN Power Grid
…business models have not evolved at the pace required to support an increasingly ambitious and complex pipeline of interconnector projects.The IEA’s report on Financing the ASEAN Power Grid examines how interconnectors are approached today from the financing and business model perspective. It explores how, in combination with broad macro‑financial and market‑specific factors, current approaches may create challenges given the size and characteristics of the APG project pipeline. Rather than focussing on institutions or regulatory frameworks, this report approaches the issue through an investor’s lens – asking how these assets are financed in practice and what must change to…

Geothermal Energy for Europe: Scaling from Niche to Mainstream
The International Energy Agency (IEA) and Carnegie Europe are co-organising a private roundtable discussion on geothermal energy for Europe.As solar PV and wind capacity are growing and countries are prioritizing energy security, geothermal energy offers reliable, non-fuel-dependent, low-emissions power, heating, and cooling. It also highlights emerging opportunities in the use of critical minerals and the development of underground energy storage capacity. Yet, deployment in Europe and globally remains constrained by subsurface risk, financing challenges, limited policy support, and regulatory barriers. The roundtable discussion will provide a unique platform for direct engagement between European policymakers and…

Thematic session: Driving energy efficiency for a competitive industrial sector
Event backgroundIn today’s context of energy market volatility and economic uncertainty, energy efficiency remains a key tool to advance affordability, energy security, and competitiveness. The 11th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency will bring together global leaders to accelerate action, with industrial energy efficiency central to reducing energy use, emissions and strengthening competitiveness.Industry is a major driver of energy demand and economic growth. Efficiency improvements have enabled higher output with lower energy use, delivering cost savings, and productivity gains. Today, industries produce nearly 20% more value per unit of energy than two decades ago. In the G20, output…
