An Energy Sector Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions in Indonesia
Indonesia is the world’s fourth-most populous country and is set to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by mid-century. The choices that Indonesia makes now and in the decades to come will have a significant bearing on the world’s energy markets and on international efforts to reach collective climate goals.Indonesia, a member of the IEA family since 2015, has committed to reach net zero emissions by 2060 or before – an ambitious task given the country’s growth objectives and status as a globally important consumer and producer of coal. However, with a transition to…

Regulatory Reform in Argentina's Natural Gas Sector
Regulatory Reform in Argentina's Natural Gas Sector The natural gas sector in Argentina is undergoing profound change as a result of regulatory and structural reforms launched at the end of the 1980s. Critical to achieving national economic restructuring, these reform measures were aimed at improving economic efficiency and increasing investment through greater reliance on market forces and new opportunities for private capital. This report -- the first IEA study to focus on Argentina -- critically reviews the impact of gas-sector reforms. It identifies challenges that policy makers, regulatory and competition authorities still confront, in particular the promotion of competition in…

Prospects for Distributed Energy Systems in China
Industrial restructuring and diversification of energy demand are accelerating in the People’s Republic of China. In addition, driven by resource and environmental constraints, as well as pressure to reduce carbon emissions, China’s primary energy consumption structure is expected to shift in coming decades. This transition is an opportunity for the increased adoption of distributed energy systems. Against this background, it is timely to take stock of what distributed energy means in the 21st century, where its application in China stands today and what its future prospects are.This report aims to provide a step in this direction; it…

Austria
Austria is committed to reaching climate neutrality by 2040. Over three quarter of electricity generation already comes from renewables, with a target of achieving a 100% renewable electricity supply by 2030 (national balance). This requires investments to make networks more resilient and flexible, optimise demand side management, and updating the legal and regulatory framework to allow more consumer participation. Buildings and transport account for around half of total emissions . To progress the transition in these sectors, the government supports building renovation, switching from fossil fuels to sustainable heating systems, the electrification of transport and invests in public transport infrastructure.

Leveraging Fossil Fuel Capabilities for Clean Energy Transitions
Assessment of opportunities in Oman As the global energy transition accelerates, all energy sectors will experience significant transformations, affecting how energy is produced and consumed. This implies a changing role of hydrocarbon fuels such as oil and natural gas. While these fuels will continue to play a role in energy systems, notably in large energy demand centres, all scenarios point to a gradual decline in demand for both oil and gas. As a result, producer economies such as Oman, whose economic development has been to a significant part enabled by a thriving oil and gas industry, have been exploring opportunities…

Armenia energy profile Energy security
Key energy data Resource endowment Armenia has no proven reserves of natural gas or oil, and hard coal deposits are a modest 154 Mt, with resources of 163 Mt and further potential of 317 Mt. It has six known coalfields and some shale oil deposits, but the economic viability of mining these deposits has not been determined. There is currently no coal or shale oil production in the country.Given its more than 400 mostly small, steep mountain rivers of at least 10 km in length, Armenia’s small hydropower potential is significant. Although small hydro has been the focus of considerable development in…
