- World Energy Outlook:Executive Summary 2010 (IEA, 2010)
Provides updated projections of energy demand, production, trade and investment, fuel by fuel and region by region to 2035. Includes, for the first time, a new scenario that anticipates future actions by governments to meet the commitments they have made to tackle climate change and growing energy insecurity.
- Energy Technology and Climate Change: A Call to Action (IEA, 2000) 967kb
This report examines the role of technology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy production and use. It brings together information and findings from several IEA and Member country reports and analyses. It reviews a large number of technologies that could prove important to reducing energy-related emissions in the near term and some of the barriers that must be overcome if they are to do so. It also previews some of the more fundamental changes in how energy services are produced and used that will be needed in the future, and some of the R&D needed to make those changes possible. It reviews areas where a government role seems essential to maximising technology’s contribution to reducing emissions in the energy sector.
- Beyond Kyoto - Energy Dynamics and Climate Stabilisation (IEA, 2002) 1.7MB
This book surveys the science and the energy policy choices of climate change, assesses current commitments and technical change, and discusses burden-sharing and possible forms of future commitments.
- Beyond Kyoto - Ideas for the Future (IEA, 2003) 339kb
This paper draws on analyses presented in the publication “Beyond Kyoto - Energy Dynamics and Climate Stabilisation” to explore further possible work on two prospective measures: price caps to limit the cost which will be born by the industrialised countries, coupled with non binding targets to draw the participation of developing countries; and dynamic targets set through indices such as economic growth or other variables.
Recent years have witnessed a fundamental change in the way governments approach energy-related environmental issues. In recognition of this change and in preparation for the Tenth Conference of the Parties (COP-10) meeting under the U.N. Climate Convention in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 6 to 17 December 2004, the IEA has prepared this publication on CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. The data are designed to assist in understanding the evolution of these emissions from 1971 to 2002 for more than 140 countries and regions by sector and by fuel. Emissions were calculated using IEA energy databases and the default methods and emission factors from the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. Bi-lingual edition: English – French.
- Dealing with Climate Change (2002) - Policies and Measures in IEA Member Countries (IEA, 2002) 1.1MB
In 2001 the 26 IEA Member countries took or planned over 200 energy-related policies and measures to tackle climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. This volume reviews the actions taken and describes them in detail, classifying them under six headings: fiscal policies, tradable permits, regulatory instruments, voluntary agreements, R&D policies and policy processes. "Dealing with Climate Change" is the third volume in a series that provides a comprehensive look at climate-related actions underway in the energy sector.
Middle East and North Africa Insights provides a detailed assessment of energy prospects throughout the Middle East and North Africa region, and the implications of these for world energy markets
