Breakout session: From here to gigawatts of fusion energy
Background information Fusion energy has been making headlines recently, with several records broken in the past year in government-owned research facilities. Fusion technology pioneers are raising unprecedented levels of venture capital funding, because – even if it is long shot – a successful fusion power plant design could revolutionise the energy system, providing high and constant power output and spinning inertia for grid stabilisation, minimal radioactive waste, no CO2 emissions and no scarce fuel inputs.The complex science and terminology of nuclear fusion is a barrier to understanding by non-experts and contributes to misunderstandings about the status and progress of…

Thematic session: Demand-side energy data for improving lives
Event backgroundIn today’s context of energy market volatility and economic uncertainty, energy efficiency remains one of the most effective tools to support affordability, energy security and competitiveness. The 11th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency will bring together global leaders to accelerate policy action at this critical moment. The availability, quality, and use of demand-side energy data are essential enablers of effective energy efficiency policy.As clean energy transitions accelerate, understanding energy consumption across end uses, sectors and population groups is increasingly important, yet, demand-side energy data remains limited, particularly in the emerging economies. This limitation constrains…

Luxembourg can enhance energy security and expand emissions reductions through integrated planning and targeted action
PR Luxembourg New IEA report finds Luxembourg can build on its strengths to deliver on its energy and climate goals through regional integration, innovation and technology deployment Luxembourg is well positioned to strengthen energy security, reduce emissions and improve resilience thanks to its strong regional integration and highly digitalised energy system, according to a new report by the International Energy Agency. But further targeted action in transport and buildings – supported by more integrated energy system planning – will be needed to fully achieve its energy and climate goals.The IEA’s Energy Policy Review highlights that Luxembourg is seeking to advance…
