This working paper evaluates cost and performance trends related to carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from power generation, based on extensive analysis of data from major engineering studies published between 2006 and 2010.

Improved energy efficiency (EE) is a critical response to the pressing climate change, economic development and energy security challenges facing many countries. This handbook draws on the experience of hundreds of energy efficiency experts around the world as well as extensive searches of energy efficiency good governance case studies and literature.

This new IEA working paper evaluates the potential costs and benefits of using natural gas as a vehicle fuel for road transportation, as well as the policy related to its market development.

Updated projections of energy demand, production, trade and investment, fuel by fuel and region by region to 2035 are provided in the 2010 edition of the World Energy Outlook (WEO). It 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.

This publication, the IEA Carbon Capture and Storage Model Regulatory Framework (Model Framework), seeks to deal with the reality that such rapid expansion and scale-up of CCS technology raises a number of regulatory issues that need to be addressed in parallel with ongoing efforts to demonstrate the technical, safety and environmental viability of industrial scale CCS projects.

The 2010 edition of the World Energy Outlook (WEO) provides updated projections of energy demand, production, trade and investment, fuel by fuel and region by region to 2035. It 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.

Putting a price on greenhouse gas emissions is a cornerstone policy in climate change mitigation. To this end, many countries have implemented or are developing domestic emissions trading systems.

Scaling-up investment in energy efficiency is essential to achieving a sustainable energy future. Despite energy efficiency

The International Energy Agency (IEA) considers carbon capture and storage (CCS) a crucial part of worldwide efforts to limit global warming by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. The IEA has
estimated that the broad deployment of low-carbon energy technologies could reduce projected 2050 emissions to half 2005 levels
