The Value of Demand Flexibility
…energy efficiency. As electricity demand grows and power systems become more electrified, decentralised and renewable-rich, managing when and how electricity is used is increasingly as important as expanding supply.The brief sets out a clear framework for understanding demand flexibility and highlights its contribution to an efficiency-first approach to power system planning and operation. By shifting or adjusting electricity use in response to system conditions, demand flexibility improves the utilisation of existing generation and network assets, reduces peak stress, lowers losses and curtailment, and supports more efficient integration of clean energy. It also delivers wider benefits, including enhanced…

CLIMIT
CLIMIT is a major Norwegian programme for research, development and demonstration of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology. The Research Council of Norway and Gassnova (a state-owned research organisation established by the Norwegian government that manages a variety of Norway’s CCUS initiatives) coordinate the research.
The CLIMIT Programme awards grants in excess of NOK 200 million (USD 23 million) per year to the most suitable CCUS projects.
The CLIMIT Programme Plan for 2017-2022 is focused in part on international CCUS deployment. -
Net Zero Emissions
…has served as an essential benchmark for policy makers, industry, the financial sector and civil society, was published in 2023.The Roadmap is based on the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions (NZE) Scenario, which portrays a pathway for the global energy sector to achieve net zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2050 while maintaining energy security. This scenario is consistent with keeping long-term global warming to 1.5 °C with limited overshoot. It also aims to meet key energy-related UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly achieving universal access to modern energy services by 2030. The NZE Scenario is normative…

Croatia
Croatia's National Energy Strategy 2009-2020 has three basic objectives: increase security of energy supply, develop competitive energy system and ensure sustainable energy sector development. These objectives are particularly important for the country, as it is heavily dependent on energy imports, resulting in its vulnerability to energy prices fluctuations.

Japan - Indonesia cooperation agreement on decarbonization technologies
Japanese Industry Minister and Indonesian Energy Minister signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC) at a bilateral meeting held in Jakarta on 10/01/2022. The MoC is aimed at collaborating in the development and deployment of decarbonization technologies such as hydrogen, ammonia and carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS).

American Reinvestment and Recovery Act - CCUS elements
Following the 2009 global financial crisis, the United States American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) (Recovery Act; P.L. 111-5) allocated over USD 3 billion to support carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology and projects. The majority of the funding supported individual projects (with USD 1 billion going to the FutureGen project) and the funds supported various additional RD & D streams, including those focused on storage, and USD 100 million towards advancing innovative applications of CO2 use, including projects focused on building materials and chemical production applications.
