This is the seventh session of a series which introduces one of the tools for energy and CO2 Modelling developed by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s REmap programme - IRENA REmap. The Excel® based REmap tool as well as the FlexTool allows IRENA’s analysts and national experts to evaluate and create a country-level analysis to assess renewable energy technology options on sector level. The tool provides a simplified but dynamic accounting framework to create and evaluate energy system developments and costs at sector (power, transport, industry, buildings) and technology level. It primarily provides renewable energy scenario analysis and has...
Remote work is more environmentally friendly than working in an office. Benefits include greenhouse gas reductions particularly in relation to commuter transport. Additionally, when employers offer remote work options, they experience a better reputation, boosted customer loyalty, and have happier, healthier employees. Key Word: work from home, greenhouse gas, ghg
Emissions from the power sector (from both electricity and heat production) declined almost 3% in 2020, or 0.4 Gt CO2, the largest-ever decline, while emissions intensity decreased 2.8%. These trends result from reduced electricity demand during the Covid-19 pandemic and a record share of renewables in total generation (29%) in 2020. Electricity demand is expected to increase in 2021 as economic activity rebounds and major emerging economies expand rapidly. This sector’s transformation is critical to clean energy transitions, as power generation accounts for 40% of energy-related CO2 emissions and electricity is increasingly being used to meet end-use energy demand. Current...
Stronger policies and raised climate goals leading into COP26 are driving renewables to new records, but faster deployment across all key sectors is needed to reach net zero. Key Words: Renewable, Climate Change, generate electricity
Coal 2021 is the world’s most comprehensive forecast of coal demand, supply and trade, based on detailed analysis of the most recent data at country and sectoral level, broken down by coal grade (thermal coal, coking coal, pulverised coal injection and lignite). Coal 2021 presents real data for 2019 and 2020, the most up-to-date estimates for 2021, and forecast for 2022, 2023 and 2024. Leveraging the IEA’s inter -fuel and inter-regional expertise, Coal 2021 report is consistent with the assumptions and forecasts for oil, gas, electricity, renewables and energy efficiency in other agency reports. Key Words: coal,
Renewables 2021 is the IEA’s primary analysis on the sector, based on current policies and market developments. It forecasts the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat to 2026 while also exploring key challenges to the industry and identifying barriers to faster growth. Renewables are the backbone of any energy transition to achieve net zero. As the world increasingly shifts away from carbon emitting fossil fuels, understanding the current role renewables play in the decarbonisation of multiple sectors is key to ensuring a smooth pathway to net zero. While renewables continued to be deployed at a strong...
This report guides policy makers to stay on the the 1.5°C path to 2050, explores the socio-economic impacts of the transition and suggests ways to speed progress towards universal access to clean energy.
