CCS Long-Term Roadmap
In January 2023, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) released its CCS Long-Term Roadmap, which aims to boost deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies by targeting commercial deployment by 2030. Specifically, the roadmap sets a target to reach a CO2 storage capacity of 6-12 million tonnnes of CO2 per year (MtCO2/yr) by 2030, and 120-240 MtCO2/yr by 2050.

Municipal Energy Roadmap
As part of the Green Municipal Fund initiative, the Municipal Energy Roadmap is a decision-support tool that provides strategic advice to find the most impactful solutions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It will help municipalities: discover solutions for energy efficiency in municipal, commercial, and residential buildings; learn about solutions for community sustainable energy generation; implement strategies to drive these solutions forward. The initiative is part of the Green Municipal Fund, a CAD 1 billion program funded by the Government of Canada and delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

CCUS Investor Roadmap
The CCUS roadmap outlines joint government and industry commitments to the deployment of CCUS in the UK and sets out the approach to delivering 4 CCUS low carbon industrial clusters, capturing 20-30 MtCO2 per year across the economy by 2030 to help meet the UK’s 2050 net zero target. This investor roadmap summarises the current engagement of government and industry and outlines further opportunities to deliver on national CCUS objectives in collaboration with investors.

Offshore Wind Energy Roadmap
The 2030 Offshore Wind Energy Roadmap establishes a framework for conditions for future growth of offshore wind energy. It focuses on means and location of new wind farms in the period up to and including 2030, as well as hypothesis on the role of energy in the coming decades until 2050. The North Sea Energy Outlook (NEO) provides a scientifically based overview of the possibilities for using the North Sea to increase sustainability after 2030, while providing insight into opportunities for further growth of offshore wind energy and its consequences for the national energy system. The report was drawn up…

Sectoral low-carbon roadmaps
The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment published a report summarising the results of the sectoral roadmaps produced during the past year. It shows that:
- The Government’s goal of a carbon neutral Finland by 2035 is achievable for industry and other sectors with existing or upcoming technologies, but would need a favorable investment environment;
- Electrification, clean energy and RDI investments play key roles in reducing sectorial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Key conditions for the implementation of the roadmaps include RDI investments, an open and predictable operating environment, availability of experts and smooth regulation. Targeting RDI investments will determine the… -

Ten milestones in 2021 - Roadmap of the Energy Transformation Mission
…in three strategic axes: 1) Energy Transition, 2) Energy security and 3) Mining diversification and formalization.
Among these objectives, one is to develop a roadmap of the Energy Transformation Mission. The roadmap was published in March 2021, and contains five key axes:
- Competition, participation, and structure of the electricity market,
- The role of gas in energy transformation: supply, supply and demand
- Decentralization, digitization, and efficient energy management,
- Closing gaps, coverage, and quality of service
- Review of the institutional and regulatory framework
The implementation of the short-term actions included in this roadmap will begin during the second half of 2021.

Energy Efficiency Roadmap
…energy efficiency potential. Regarding the action lines, these are divided by final energy consumption sectors and five categories based on the type of intervention: regulation, institutional framework, capacity building and human resources, markets and financing, and research, development and innovation. The final energy consumption sectors are Buildings, Industry, Transport, Municipal Public Services and Agriculture. Majority of the actions fall under federal ministries and education institutions, but relevant mediations are needed from local governments (municipalities and states), research institutions, professional associations, industrial and commerce chambers, private companies and international cooperation. Conuee and Sener are responsible for the execution of the Roadmap.

Electricity Network Transformation Roadmap
The electricity system supporting Australia’s modern economy and lifestyle is experiencing change on an unprecedented scale. The transformation is driven by customers as they embrace new technologies, take control of their energy use and support action on climate change. By 2050, it is estimated that customers or their agents - not utilities - will determine how over $200 billion in system expenditure is spent and millions of customer owned generators will supply 30-45% of Australia’s electricity needs.
