Burkina Faso
In 2019, Burkina Faso’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes, with oil products accounting for one-third of the total energy supply. In 2020, 11% of the population had access to clean cooking and only 21% had access to electricity, making Burkina Faso one of the world’s least-electrified countries. For electricity, the country has a target of 95% access for urban areas and 50% for rural areas by 2030. For clean cooking, Burkina Faso has a universal access target for urban areas and 65% in rural areas by 2030. The target for LPG urban penetration…

Energy Policy Review Government action plays a pivotal role in ensuring secure and sustainable energy transitions. Energy policy is critical not just for the energy sector but also for meeting environmental, economic and social goals. Governments need to respond to their country’s specific needs, adapt to regional contexts and help address global challenges. In this context, the International Energy Agency (IEA) conducts Energy Policy Reviews to support governments in developing more impactful energy and climate policies.This Energy Policy Review was prepared in partnership between the Government of Luxembourg and the IEA. It draws on the IEA’s extensive…

Korea
Korea has set a target of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050 by substantially increasing the share of renewable energy sources, gradually phasing out coal, significantly improving energy efficiency and fostering the country’s nascent hydrogen industry. Korea’s energy sector is characterised by a dominance of fossil fuels, a strong dependence on energy imports and one of the highest shares of industrial energy use among IEA countries. Korea aims to leverage the fourth industrial revolution for its energy transition and to foster green growth by means of low-carbon technologies and clean energy. Due to Korea’s high share of…

GlobalABC Regional Roadmap for Buildings and Construction in Asia 2020-2050
Towards a zero-emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction sector The GlobalABC Roadmap for Buildings and Construction in Asia sets out targets and timelines towards achieving zero emission, efficient and resilient buildings and construction between 2020 and 2050 in Asia. The Roadmap covers eight themes: urban planning, new buildings, existing buildings, building operations, appliances and systems, materials, resilience, and clean energy. For each of these themes, priority actions related to policy and technology are identified. Other enabling activities include capacity building and finance. This Roadmap was developed in collaboration with the GlobalABC and UN Environment Programme (UNEP). Several hundred…

Integrating Solar and Wind in Southeast Asia
Status and outlook for secure and efficient strategies Southeast Asia is experiencing one of the fastest electricity demand growths globally, with consumption set to double by 2050. While renewable deployment has accelerated in recent years, the region’s growing reliance on imported fossil-fuels for electricity generation, exposes countries to volatile fuel prices, potential supply disruptions and rising emissions. At the same time, the region possesses vast and diverse renewable resource potential. Variable renewable energy (VRE) - solar and wind - are now among the most cost-competitive generation options and are playing an increasingly important role in the region’s power…

How Hybrid PV Technologies Can Contribute to the Decarbonisation of Thailand's Power System
In the context of COP 26, Thailand announced that it was aiming for net zero carbon emissions in 2050, with peak emissions by 2030. To achieve these targets, as outlined in the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Roadmap, Thailand will first need to decarbonise the power sector, which will in turn support decarbonisation of the transport and buildings sectors through electrification.Thailand’s clean electricity transition is at the heart of the cooperation between the IEA and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), supported by the Ministry of Energy in the Kingdom of Thailand (MOEN). Work area one…

Energy Security in ASEAN+6
The ASEAN+6 group comprises the ten ASEAN countries and six other countries in the Asia Pacific region: Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and New Zealand. These countries differ in their natural resource wealth and their levels of socio-economic and technological development, but share common challenges, in ensuring the security of their energy supplies. Given their shared geographical location, they could help one another meet these energy security challenges by deepening regional co-operation. Energy Security in ASEAN+6 covers the key energy sectors of oil, natural gas and electricity and identify the main energy security issues, including a high…
