INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974.Its primary mandate was and is two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its membercountries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative
research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 membercountries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation amongits member countries, each o which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days o its net imports.The Agencys aims include the following objectives:
n Secure member countries access to reliable and ample supplies o all orms o energy; in particular,through maintaining eective emergency response capabilities in case o oil supply disruptions.
n Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protectionin a global context particularly in terms o reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contributeto climate change.
n Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis ofenergy data.
n Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure uture energy supplies
and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energyefciency and development and deployment o low-carbon technologies.
n Find solutions to global energy challenges through engagement anddialogue with non-member countries, industry, international
organisations and other stakeholders.IEA member countries:

Keyfindings
Clean energy technologies are making clear progress globally, but fossil fuels continue tooutpace them.Moreaggressivecleanenergypoliciesare required, including the removalof
fossil fuelsubsidiesand implementationof transparent,predictableandadaptive incentivesforcleaner,moreefficientenergyoptions.
Thanks to favourablepolicy support, solarPVandwindpowerareachieving stronggrowth.However,achievingsustainableenergygoalswillrequireadoublingofallrenewableenergyuse by 2020. There are also signs that policy support is weakening due to governmentausterityplans. Insteadofeliminating successfulpolicies,governmentsneed toput inplacedynamicschemesthatrespondtotechnologymarkets.
Forthepastdecade,coalhasbeenthefastestgrowingglobalenergysource,meeting47%ofnew electricity demand. Extensive deployment of CCS is critical to achieve climate changegoals: around 100 largescale projects are needed by 2020, but countries must accelerate
theirpolicyandfundingsupportforthelargescaleCCSdemonstrations.
Progress has been made to transform the market for some key energyefficient products,including compact fluorescent light bulbs. However, in the buildings and industry sectors,significantunderinvestmentremains,resultingfromanarrayofmarketfinancial,information,institutionaland technicalbarriers.Muchmorepolicyeffort isneeded tocapture theneartermprofitableandlowcostenergysavingsopportunities.
Biofuelshaveshownsteadygrowth,butstillonlyrepresent3%ofglobalroadtransportfuelconsumption. A sound policy framework is required to ensure the sustainable growth ofbiofuelproductionbytenfoldtoreachclimatechangetargetsin2050.Commercialisationofadvanced, sustainable biofuels will be particularly critical to meet targets, and will require
significant
expansion
of
production
capacity.
Electric vehicles are poised to take off. Major economies have announced targets thattogether would reach about 7million vehicle sales per year by 2020.If achieved, this willresultinover20millionelectricvehiclesontheroadbythatyear,takingintoaccountallsalesoverthenext9years.However,thiswillonlyaccountforabout2%oflightdutyvehiclestocksworldwide; continued strong growth after 2020 will be important to ensure markettransformation. Fuel economy of conventional lightduty vehicles has also been improvingrecently,butwillneedto improve faster toachieveaglobal targetof50% improvementby2030comparedto2005levels.
While nuclear capacity has remained nearly flat for the past decade, countriesare currentlyconstructing
66
nuclear
reactors
that
should
add
60
Gigawatts
by
2015.
However,
the
recent
earthquake in Japan and resulting damage have led countries to review nuclear safety andinvestmentsacrosstheboard. Asaresult,nuclearexpansionislikelytobeslowerthanplanned.
An increased levelof systems thinking isneeded to integrate thebroad rangeof individualclean energy technologies into the energy system. Increased attention and resources arerequiredtoexpandsmartgridpilotprojectsonaregionallevel.
International collaboration is key to ensuring that momentum is maintained and gaps areaddressed. The Clean Energy Ministerial offers an unique opportunity to acceleratetechnology deployment through government and corporate pledges and tracking progresstowardsharedglobalenergygoals.

Energyefficiency
Energy efficiency is often referred to as an important fuel of the future. By reducing energydemand, improvements in energy intensity are estimated to deliver 30% of primary energyconsumption.Publicpolicyhassuccessfullytransformedmarketsforanarrayofenergyefficientproducts,includingcompactfluorescentlightbulbs(CFLs),refrigerators,motorsandkeybuildingcomponents.Thesesuccesseshavebeendeliveredbyasetofwelldesignedand implemented

Note: Table compares recent rate of improvement/growth in a technology area against the rate of improvement/growth required to reach the ETP BLUE
Map scenario in 2020. Due to gaps in data, different me periods were used. The current rate for wind and biofuels is the annual average growth rate
from 2005 -2010. For solar PV, biomass, geothermal, and CSP this period is 2004-2009. The observed trend in energy intensity is from 2005 2008.
The current rate and status of nuclear includes capacity under construcon up to 2015; the required rate is calculated for 2015 to 2020. Required rates are
measured from the year of the last complete global data set. The Energy intensity is measured in MJ per USD PPP 2009. Biofuel is measured in energy use
from all biofuels in EJ. Electricity generaon with CCS includes generaon from biomass, coal and gas. Assumes 10 000 EV/PHEV sales in 2011.

HigherefficiencycoaluseandCCS
For the past decade, coal has been the fastestgrowing energy source, meeting 47% of newelectricitydemandglobally.Thisgrowthhasbeenaccompaniedbyamovetowardmoreefficient,cleaner coal plants worldwide. However, to meet global climate change goals at lowest cost,extensivedeploymentofCCSiscritical:around100largescaleCCSprojectsareneededby2020,andover3000by2050.Whilethereareover70projectscurrentlyplanned, it isuncertainhowmany of them will be realised. The currently available public funding for largescaledemonstrationprojects(USD25billion)isnotenough.Delaysinfundingdecisionsarecausedbyanumberoffactorsthatgovernmentsmustaddress,includingthehighcostofCCS,lackofpublicsupportforCCS,andaneedforadequateregulatoryframeworksforCO2transportandstorage.
Nuclearpower
Whilenuclearcapacityhas remainednearly flat for thepastdecade,15countriesarecurrentlyconstructing66nuclearreactorsthattogethershouldadd60GWofcapacityby2015;theseandothercountrieshaveambitiousplanstofurtherexpandglobalnuclearcapacityby2020.However,the recentearthquakeandtsunami in Japan,andtheresultingdamage tonuclear reactors,willleadmanycountriestoreviewthesafetyandsitingoftheirexistingandplannednuclearplants.Asaresult,nuclearexpansionmaybeslowerthanpreviouslyannouncedplanssuggest.
Renewableenergy
Renewable energy market success has been driven by policy support, which has grownconsiderablyinthelastdecade.Policiescontinuetoevolvetoaddressmarketdevelopmentsandreduce costs. In the case of solar energy, at least ten countries now have sizeable domesticmarkets. Both utilityscale and rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) generation have seen a majorscaleup in the past few years, resulting from marketcreating policies that led to anextraordinarydecline inthecostofPVmodules.Windpoweralsoexperienceddramaticgrowthoverthe lastdecade;global installedcapacityattheendof2010wasaround194GW,upfrom17GWattheendoftheyear2000.
Despitethisgoodnews,worldwiderenewableelectricitygenerationsince1990grewanaverageof2.7%peryear,which is less than the3%growth seen for totalelectricitygeneration.While19.5%ofglobalelectricityin1990wasproducedfromrenewablesources,thissharefellto18.5%in 2008. This decrease is mainly the result of slow growth of the main renewable source,hydroelectricpower, inOECDcountries.AchievingthegoalofhalvingglobalenergyrelatedCO2emissionsby2050willrequireadoubling(fromtodayslevels)ofrenewablegenerationby2020.
Nonhydro renewables will have to increase at doubledigit rates; wind power must see anannualaveragegrowthrateof17%andsolarpower22%.Whiletheselevelshavebeenexceededinthepastfewyears,thislevelofhighgrowthmustbesustainedforthelongterm.
Biofuels
Biofuels have seen steady growth during the last 10 years. Driven by policy support, mostprominently in Brazil and the United States, and more recently in the European Union andSoutheastAsia,globalproduction grew from16billion litres in2000 tomore than100billionlitres in2010.Further,manycountriesareacceleratingtheir investments inadvancedbiofuels,withlargescaledemonstrationplantsunderconstructioninmanyregions.Evenwiththisgrowth,biofuels representedaround3%ofglobalroad transport fuelconsumption in2010.Tostayon

Smarter,moreambitiousstrategiesareneeded
The last decade has seen some renewable energy technologies become competitive withconventionalenergytechnologies.Mostcleanenergytechnologies,however,stillcostmorethan
incumbentfossilbasedtechnologiesthathavereceived(andcontinuetoreceive)subsidiesfromgovernment in the formof tax credits, infrastructuredevelopmentand funding for largescaledemonstration. Fossil fuels currently receive USD 312 billion (2009) in consumption subsidies,versusUSD57billion (2009) for renewableenergy (IEA,2010g).The competitivenessof cleanenergytechnologies lagsbehindfossilbasedtechnologiesduetotheir levelofmaturity,aswellas the lack of a price for external environmental impacts, including greenhousegas (GHG)emissions. Moreover, the deployment of technologies is hampered by noneconomic barrierssuchasadministrativeburdens,gridintegrationissues,lackofawarenessandpublicacceptanceproblems. Clean energy technology deployment will therefore require a concerted public andprivatecommitment,supportedbymoreambitiouspolicies.ItisclearthatsettingaCO2pricewillnot be enough to achieve the revolution. Governments need to take action on each of the
followingpolicymeasures: Increase public investment in innovation through support for research and development
(R&D),aswellaslargescaledemonstration.
Implementsmarterenergypolicies, includingremovingnoneconomicbarriersandprovidingtransparent,predictableandadaptiveincentivesforcleaneroptions.
Facilitate the uptake of clean energy technologies into energy systems by supportingintegrationoftechnologiessuchassmartgrids.
Phaseoutsubsidiesforfossilfuels. EstablishapriceonCO2emissions.Agrowingbodyofexperienceshowsthatacleanenergyrevolutioncanbeachievedthroughacomprehensive policy approach. Over the last two decades, several countries have achieveddramatic changes in their energy markets. A key to success has been to create a strategic,comprehensiveapproachthatcommunicatestothepublictheenergysecurity,economicgrowthandenvironmentalbenefitsofcleanenergyinvestment.
Successful national strategies also work with the private sector to identify a set of prioritytechnologies, and provide a package of coordinated, predictable policies to acceleratetechnologydevelopment.Thisinvolvesdesignatingleadinstitutions,providingsustainedfundingandreducingduplicationbyimprovinglinesofcommunicationandcoordination.Italsorequiresproviding smart interventions along the technology development chain from research todemonstration, largescale integrationandmarket commercialisation,andpulling technologies

Other countries benefit in a number of ways from the success of these pioneering countries:testingpolicytoolsandapproaches;creatingasmallinitialmarketfortechnologies,whichsetsapathforfuturecostreductions;andexportingtheirexpertiseandtechnologytotherestoftheworld. This success required a highlevel political commitment, private sector support and, inmostcases,asubstantialcommitmentoffundsfromgovernmentsorelectricitycustomers.Inthecase of renewable electricity, several countries are currently revising policies and tariff rates,givenunexpectedgrowththathasresulted inescalatingpolicycost.However, it isclearthatbybuildingonthesesuccessfulnationalexamples,countriescanacceleratetechnologylearninganddiffusion,achievecostreductionsandbecomeworldleadersincleanenergytechnologies.

The reality of the clean energy challenge is such that individual and isolated actions will notenable the rapidand largescale transition required. Increased collaborationamong countries,stakeholdersand initiativesthatseektoachievethesharedbenefitsofcleanenergytechnologydeployment is imperative to rapidly scaleup investment, replicate the positive steps that arebeing taken, and enhance the costeffectiveness and efficiency of action. Several examplesdemonstrate that when one (or more) country sets a pioneering pathway in clean energytechnologydevelopment, it increases thepotential fordomestic scaleup,withassociatedcostreductions in the technology. This shared learning needs to accelerate if countries want toremainontracktorealisethefullpotentialofcleanenergytechnologies.Onestrategywouldbe

The BLUE Map scenario, togetherwith IEA technology roadmaps,provides clear pathways fordeploying clean energy technologies. These can be compared against current deployment, asreportedinIEAstatisticsandindatacollectedfromcountriesthatparticipateintheCEMprocess,thereby providing a preliminary assessment of global progress toward the clean energytransition. The following section provides a more indepth discussion of deployment status,policy implementation and public spending on RD&D for six categories of clean energytechnologies: energy efficiency; higherefficiency coal use and CCS; nuclear power; renewableenergy;biofuels;andEVsandvehicleefficiency.
Energyefficiency
Sincetheearly1970s,globalenergyintensityhasimprovedatanaveragerateof1.7%peryear,butthis improvementmustbemeasuredagainstoverall increases inCO2emissionsandenergyconsumption resulting from economic growth. Without energyefficiency improvements, finalenergyuse in2006wouldhavebeen63%higher intheOECD11than itwas intheearly1970s(IEA,2010d). Ithasbeenestimated thatglobalsavings fromenergyproductivity improvementswas 3.6 gigatonnes of oil equivalent (Gtoe) in 2008, or almost 30% of primary energyconsumption (WEC,2010).However,energyefficiencyspotentialhasbarelybeen tapped.Theeconomic crisisand resulting stimulusprogrammes,aswellas rising fuel costs,haveactedasstrongdriversof recentenergyefficiency,yet theseareoffsetby increasedconsumerdemandandwillingnesstoinvestandlendintimesofeconomicrecession.

Buildingcodes that include energyefficiency standards for new buildings are used in all IEA membercountries.ManyCEMcountrieshaveintroducedminimumenergyrequirementsfornewbuildings,with 13 IEA countries including mandatory energyefficiency requirements in codes for newbuildings,aswellastheUAEandIndia.Buildingcodestandardstringencyvarieswidely.TheUnitedKingdomsminimumenergyperformancestandards(MEPS)forbuildingsaresettotightensothat,by2016,allnewdwellingswillbezerocarbon.Germanyscurrentstrongefficiencystandardsareexpectedtoberaised30% in2012.Denmarkalsohasstrongrequirementsthatwillriseby2015.Oncetheseamendmentsareinforce,itisexpectedthatGermanysandDenmarksbuildingcodesfor new buildings will be close to the level of stringency recommended by the IEA.

Major economies actively implement energyefficiency policies for appliances, with 73% of CEMcountries implementing MEPS and labelling for a growing list of appliances. Over 50 nations
implementenduseequipmentprogrammeswhichseek to improveenergyefficiency forelectricalappliances and equipment in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors (CLASP, 2010).Productenergylabelingtakesoneoftwoformsendorsementlabeling,suchastheUSENERGYSTARlabel,andcomparativelabeling,asfoundinAustralia,KoreaandtheEU.Governmentstandardsandlabelling programmes have transformed the market for many appliances by increasing theirfunctionality and efficiency while reducing unit cost. However, noncompliance is a major factorwhich limits S&L programmes in achieving their potential energy efficiency. Better monitoring,verificationandenforcement (MVE)ofS&Lprogrammes isneeded. International coordinationandcollaborationcanassistinloweringthecostsofsuchprogrammes(IEA,2010f).
Energyefficientlightingdeployment

Policydevelopments
Certain enabling conditions areneededbefore energyproviders can embrace the role of energyefficiency implementer,namely theability to recoverprogrammecosts,compensationof foregonerevenuesowingtolowersales,andacceptablelevelsofregulatoryandotherrisk.Establishingtheseconditionsrequirestailored institutional,regulatoryandmarketmechanisms.Iftheenergyproviderisaforprofitbutregulatedentity,theremustbeamechanismtoadjustpricesorrates inordertorecoverprogrammecostsandmakeaprofit.Forretailenergyprovidersoperatinginfullycompetitive

Theseenablingconditionshavebeenachieved inmanyjurisdictions,notably InNorthAmericaandpartsof Europe,where energyproviders play a central role in the funding and implementationofenergy efficiency. Recent studies on ratepayerfunded energyefficiency programmes for gas andelectricityintheUnitedStatesandCanadaput2009spendingatUSD6.1billionandforecastthatUSspendingalonewouldtopUSD10billionby2015(BarboseandGoldman,2009)(CEE,2010).InsomeUSjurisdictions,utilitiesspendasmuchas3%ofcollected revenueonenergyefficiency.Utilities inBrazilcollect1%ofelectricityrevenues,whichisusedtofundEEprogrammesaswellasR&D.IntheUnited Kingdom, energy provider spending on energy efficiency is about USD3billion under theCarbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) supplier obligation. This obligation has a target CO2

Important progress is being made towards developing national CCS legal and regulatoryframeworks. Although developments are generally concentrated in OECD regions, includingEurope,Australia,theUnitedStatesandCanada,nonOECDcountriessuchasSouthAfricaandtheUAEarebeginningCCS regulatorydiscussionsand frameworkdevelopment (GCCSI,2011).Thisprogressmustcontinue,inparticularinnonOECDcountrieswhichwillplayasignificantrole

Currently, CO2 mitigation incentives are insufficient to cover the additional costs and risksassociated with building and operating firstofakind, CCS demonstration plants. Accordingly,additional financial incentives are required in the nearterm where CCS activities are notsupportedbyothermechanisms suchasa sufficientCO2price
9oradditional revenue streams
(enhanced hydrocarbon recovery). While global understanding ofCO2 storage opportunities isimproving, there is limited practically usable and characterised storage capacity at the levelneeded to support largescaleproject investment.CO2 storage site characterisations, includingsuitablepathwaysfortransportandstorage,needtoaccelerate.
