Energy Efficiency 2020 Energy efficiency in 2019
This section summarises energy efficiency trends in 2019. It updates and builds on analysis from several IEA publications, including Global Energy Review 2019, Tracking Clean Energy Progress and World Energy Investment 2020. Energy intensity and efficiency The global energy intensity improvement rate was flat Global energy intensity improved by 2% in 2019. While notionally a significant increase on the 2018 rate of 1.1%, these numbers on their own mask the strong influence of weather in both years.In 2019, more temperate weather in key regions contributed strongly to improving energy intensity, mostly in the form of reduced heating and…

Offshore Energy Outlook 2018
World Energy Outlook Special Report Tapping the world’s huge offshore resources will be vital to meet future energy needs, but the dynamics of offshore energy are changing fast. The shale revolution is asking new questions for investment in offshore oil and gas. And, policy support and technology development are promising major cost reductions for the next wave of offshore wind projects. This report, in the flagship World Energy Outlook series, explores what these changing dynamics might mean for offshore energy activity in different scenarios to 2040. It also highlights the potential for greater integration and collaboration across different parts…

Integrated Approaches to Energy Technologies
BackgroundThe Network of Expertise in Energy Technology (NEET) builds on the expertise of the multilateral technology initiatives supported by the IEA (formally called Implementing Agreements) and links with key partner countries, the international business community, policy makers, researchers and other stakeholders. It works to raise awareness of these international research groups and to facilitate broader participation.As part of the dialogue, the NEET initiative works with key partner countries and regions interested in order to addresses their energy technology needs, to identify areas of mutual interest and potential future collaboration.In this regional Asian NEET workshop “Integrated Approaches to Energy…

The IEA ‘Clean Energy Technologies’ Symposium and the Launch of the IEA Policy Pathway ‘Energy Performance Certification of Buildings’
“The countries of Southeast Asia are set to play an increasingly important role in global energy markets in the decades ahead”, said Mr. Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) today in Singapore at the Clean Energy Technologies Symposium. In the IEA’s World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2009, the region’s energy demand expands 76% by 2030, a faster rate of growth than the rest of the world. Such rapid growth in energy demand will require enhanced energy efficiency to ensure security, growth and sustainability. The region’s share of global CO2 emissions reaches 5% in 2030…

The Covid-19 Crisis and Clean Energy Progress Energy integration
Energy integration technologies enable deeper decarbonisation in all sectors. They are cross-cutting technologies that ordinarily rely on complex supply chains and require a holistic approach with co-ordinated support measures, planning and operations to keep pace with the energy transition.In addition, early-stage smart grid, demand-response, hydrogen and direct air capture technologies need to be widely demonstrated to reach a significant scale of deployment. The impact the ongoing crisis is likely to have on these technologies is likely to depend on the speed and extent that co-ordination across value chains can be restored and the appetite for…

Universal Access to Clean Cooking in Africa
Progress update and roadmap for implementation Clean cooking access is a defining challenge for Africa’s prosperity. While the number of people without access to clean cooking has halved globally since 2010, the number in sub-Saharan Africa continues to rise. This harms health, economic development, and the environment – contributing to 815 000 premature deaths annually and significant deforestation.In a new report, Universal Access to Clean Cooking in Africa: Progress update and roadmap to implementation, the International Energy Agency (IEA) provides an updated picture of where things stand today, where efforts are gaining ground, and where urgent action is…

Joint APEC-IEA Training Workshop on End-use Energy Consumption Data and Energy Efficiency Indicators-Part 2 (20th APEC Workshop on Energy Statistics)
Workshop objectives Recognising the importance of tracking energy efficiency progress, the IEA and the Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre APERC (as the secretariat of the APEC Expert Group on Energy Data and Analysis (EGEDA)) are jointly organising a second training workshop on energy efficiency indicators, following up the first workshop held in June 2021. Both IEA and APEC collect energy end-use data and develop indicators of energy efficiency and carbon intensity across all final consumption sectors: residential, services, transport and industry, as shown in the IEA Energy Efficiency Indicators report. The workshop will help members economies estimate disaggregated energy…

World Energy Investment 2018
World Energy Investment 2018 provides a critical benchmark for decision-making by governments, the energy industry, and financial institutions to set policy frameworks, implement business strategies, finance new projects, and develop new technologies. It highlights the ways in which investment decisions taken today are determining how energy supply and demand will unfold tomorrow. The report looks at critical issues that have shaped the energy industry, including: the countries and policies that attracted the most energy investment in 2017, and which fuels and technologies grew the fastest; whether energy investment is sufficient to realise the world’s energy transition objectives; how…
