Sustainable Transport for Georgia: A Roadmap Sustainable transport roadmap
…Georgia’s strong renewable electricity base, strategic location as a link between Asia and Europe, and skilled workforce create advantages for developing electric battery and vehicle value chains, expanding freight hubs and deep-sea ports, and even potentially producing electrolytic hydrogen and low-emissions hydrogen derivatives for export to the European Union. Partnerships with leaders in EV assembly, mobility and energy storage battery production, as well as recycling, could position Georgia as a regional exporter. In addition, responsibly managed biomass resources may offer limited but meaningful opportunities for industrial development and jobs. To reach its goals, Georgia must tackle governance…

Scaling Up Demand Flexibility
From peak management to efficient system operation This report has been developed as part of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) initiative to examine the growing importance of demand flexibility in electricity systems amid rising demand, increased renewable energy integration and the electrification of power systems. Case studies in chronological order to examine the changing role of demand flexibility over time from South Africa (2025), Thailand (2030) and Ireland (2035) demonstrate how demand flexibility improves reliability, reduces costs, supports renewables integration and manages network constraints. To realise these benefits, the report emphasises the role for…

Mauritania
In 2019, Mauritania’s energy mix was dominated by oil products (65%) and biofuels and waste (32%). In 2020, 43% of the population had access to clean cooking which is the highest share in West Africa. In 2020, 47% of the population had access to electricity. For electricity access, the country targets universal access in urban areas and doubling of the current rate in rural areas by 2024, with country-wide universal access by 2030. For clean cooking, the target is 100% access to LPG in urban areas and 50% access to LPG in rural areas by 2030.

Germany
Germany’s Climate Law sets out the framework for reaching net zero emissions by 2045. In order to achieve the ambitious Energiewende by 2030, 80% of all electricity supply will need to come from renewable energy sources (and 100% by 2035) and coal is to be completely phased out. Germany has been an early leader in offshore wind and solar PV and phased out nuclear power in 2023. Major legislative reforms in renewable energy planning and siting support targets of 100-110 GW of onshore wind, 30 GW offshore wind and 200 GW solar, alongside investments in 10 GW of…

Danish CCUS Fund
The CCUS Fund is a market-based, technology-neutral fund aimed at supporting carbon capture, storage and utilization. The government earmarked DKK 16 billion in subsidies to CCUS projects, to be distributed in two phases.The first phase aims to achieve CO2 reductions of 0.4 million tonnes per year from 2025/2026. In the first phase, funding will be allocated to either one major carbon source or a consortium of smaller carbon sources, which will then purchase transport and storage. Learnings from the first phase of the CCUS Fund and new market developments will be taken into account in…

Energy Act of 2020 (CCUS provisions)
…Energy Act of 2020 contains multiple provisions related to carbon capture and carbon removal. The Act includes almost USD 7 billion in authorization for various carbon management and removal programs over 5 years, including reauthorization of Fossil Energy Research and Development Programs at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). More specifically, the provisions include authorization for: - large-scale pilot projects and commercial-scale demonstrations in key sectors such as heavy industry - Development of large scale storage projects - Establishment of a carbon removal program including a direct air capture technology prize competition - A carbon utilization programme - Reforms to the U.S…

Gas Market Lessons from the 2022-2023 Energy Crisis
The 2022-2023 energy crisis tested the resilience of the global gas and LNG markets with the most severe gas supply shock in history. During the crisis, natural gas-importing markets around the world felt the pressures of record-high gas prices, including the scale-back in access to energy, the impediment to economic activity and the extra burden on government budgets. Market responses varied but governments were quick to react as the challenges of security of supply became apparent. Post-crisis, markets must continue to adapt as the effects of the crisis continue to influence security of gas supply…

Investment Tax Credit for Clean Hydrogen
The Canadian government introduced an Investment Tax Credit for investments in projects that produce hydrogen from electrolysis or from natural gas with emission abated using carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), with the following features: the tax credit rate is based on the assessed carbon intensity of the hydrogen produced. It varies between 15 and 40 per cent of eligible clean hydrogen project costs, with projects producing the cleanest hydrogen receiving the highest level of support. A 15 per cent tax credit is also extended to equipment used to convert hydrogen into ammonia to transport the hydrogen. The tax credit…

Climate Technology Centre and Network Technical Assistance
…Nations (UN) Environment Programme and the UN Industrial Development Organization. It provides technical assistance in response to requests from developing economies or nationally-selected focal points on specific climate technology sectors.
Examples of CCUS-focused CTCN projects include:
1) “Carbon capture and storage potential in Nigeria”. This project assessed regulatory gaps for CCUS in Nigeria and aimed to increase the institutional capacity for implementation of projects in the country.
2) “Substantial GHG emissions reduction in the cement industry by using waste heat recovery combined with mineral carbon capture and utilization”. This project provided technical and financial assessment and developed a…
