Action Plan for green hydrogen (2023-2030)
81 actions across 18 lines of action aiming to promote renewable hydrogen. Responsible institutions are defined for each action. KPIs, related to the 177 milestones within the actions, are meant to be defined as part of the follow-up to the action plan but not defined yet in the document. By May 2025, all 18 lines of action have begun implementation, and 19% of the 177 milestones had been completed

National Program for Rational and Efficient Use of Energy
…use of energy in the production, transportation and distribution, storage and consumption of energy, attempting to achieve the highest sustainable development with the available technologies, minimising the environmental impact and optimising energy conservation and cost reduction. The program covers several policy areas including short-term policies: focusing on education and awareness on energy consumption, lamp replacement in households, increasing energy efficiency of appliances; and long-term policies: focusing on industry, commerce, buildings, cogeneration, public lighting and transport. Several sub-programs have been developed according to each sector. The program aims to decrease electricity consumption by 6% and energy savings of…

Energy Saving Action Plan
The Energy Saving Action Plan focuses on the penetration of renewables, energy efficiency improvements, energy efficiency labelling and education, information, and technology innovation. It is unclear to what extent the objectives of the Programme have been achieved. According to critics, in general performance has been poor, attributed to a lack of co-ordination among the institutions involved, limitations to the application of DSM by utilities, problems with enforcing building standards, a lack of awareness campaigns to accompany the introduction of labels, and a lack of substantial incentives for renewable energy.

2030 Climate and Energy Framework
…the European Commission has proposed:A reformed EU emissions trading scheme (ETS)New indicators for the competitiveness and security of the energy system, such as price differences with major trading partners, diversification of supply, and interconnection capacity between EU countriesFirst ideas on a new governance system based on national plans for competitive, secure, and sustainable energy. These plans will follow a common EU approach. They will ensure stronger investor certainty, greater transparency, enhanced policy coherence and improved coordination across the EU.The framework was adopted by EU leaders in October 2014. It builds on the 2020 climate and energy package…

2050 Net-Zero Roadmap
The Israeli Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has released a roadmap to achieve net-zero emissions in the energy sector by 2050, centred around solar power but adaptable to future technological shifts. It presents three scenarios: one where rapid advances make solar energy even cheaper and more efficient, potentially reaching a PV capacity of 108 GW; another where hydrogen technology matures and plays a key role; and a third in which the country embraces nuclear power. Each path reflects different trajectories based on policy choices and innovation.

2025 Progress Report on the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan
Canada aims to reduce emissions by 40% to 45% below 2005 levels by 2030, with an interim goals of 20% below 2005 levels by 2026. In this progress report, Canada indicates with their emissions projections scenario that the country will reduce emissions by 21% below 2005 levels in the "with measures" scenario, and by 28% below 2005 levels in the "with additional measures" scenario.
