International Energy Agency in partnership with EMBARQ has launched this comprehensive global database of bus rapid transit (BRT) systems from over 130 cities and includes Delhi, Ahmedabad, Pune & Jaipur from India.

This study presents data from the ten countries which together account for more than 85% of the world’s CO2 emissions from coal‐fired power generation and discusses the percentage of that population of plants that could be particularly attractive for considering CCS retrofit.

The IEA has published a document titled “Worldwide Engagement for Sustainable Energy Strategies,” detailing the IEA’s role in the global energy industry over time.

Successful deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) is critically dependent on comprehensive policy support. While policy plays an important role in the deployment of many low-carbon technologies, it is especially crucial for CCS.

This policy pathway presents the critical elements of joint public-private approaches to accelerating and scaling up private investment in energy efficiency. It focuses on the lessons learned from country experiences with three mechanisms – dedicated credit lines, risk guarantees, and energy performance service contracts.

The first ever global analysis of light duty vehicle characteristics, including fuel economy, shows that faster rates of improvement over the next 10-20 years will be needed in order to meet the targets of the Global Fuel Economy Initiative (GFEI).

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a carbon reduction technology that offers permanent net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. The benefits inherent within this technology are currently receiving increased attention from policy makers.

This information paper accompanies the IEA publication Deploying Renewables 2011: Best and Future Policy Practice. It provides more detailed data and analysis, and explores the markets, policies and prospects for a number of renewable energy technologies.

This report presents an analysis of solar promotion policies in seven countries - Germany, Spain, the United States, Japan, China, Taiwan, and India – in terms of their outlook, objectives, policy mechanisms and outcomes.

This information paper reviews the strategic drivers for renewable energy and the barriers to deployment of RE technologies as well as the policy tools to overcome obstacles to deployment.
