The State of Energy Innovation is out now!

It shows the range of promising new energy technologies under development worldwide is broader than ever before

But the global energy innovation landscape is at a pivotal moment amid market uncertainty

Delighted to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with @iitdelhi Director Rangan Banerjee

It will enable stronger cooperation between @IEA & @iitdelhi on some of the most pressing energy challenges facing the world today

Thank you 🇮🇳 Ambassador @JawedAshraf5 for your presence

Proud to have been part of the team for this major @iea event on innovation today.
Looking forward to a unique discussion among ministers, start-ups, investors govt’s and academics.

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

🔴 WATCH NOW | We're LIVE from the IEA Energy Innovation Forum!

Join 🇺🇸 @ClimateEnvoy John Kerry, 🇮🇪 Minister @EamonRyan, IEA's @fbirol & industry leaders as they address how to scale up the clean technologies needed for energy transitions

As ‘unabated’ is in the spotlight at COP28, a little bit of history:

In April 2009, the UK gov announced that it would not allow multiple new coal power plants to be built.

This followed an extensive NGO campaign + advice from the new Committee on Climate Change.

NEW dataset for exploration and download:

The HATCH, Historical Adoption of TeCHnology, dataset

Massive effort by @jennagreen22 +others @UWLaFollette @MCC_Berlin @IIASAVienna to assemble 1000s of country-level time series on adoption of 200 diverse technologies.

Neat new chart from the new @IEA CCUS report.

We may not yet have the real-world data we want for accurate cost estimates yet, but lead times are another valuable metric and are available for more projects. The variability looks typical of an early-stage, large industrial sector

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

New policy & business approaches are needed to support scaling up of carbon capture, utilisation & storage to help reach net zero goals

Our latest report shows CCUS is seeing unprecedented momentum, but implementation is lagging behind.

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth at #COP28

It must choose: keep fueling the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy.

Today, its efforts aren’t encouraging. It accounts for under 1% of global clean energy investment.

Our report: https://t.co/MQiLm2ji76

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

The energy world will look very different by 2030, even under today's policy settings

🚗 Nearly 10 times as many electric cars

☀️ Renewables = 80% of new power

⚡️ Electric heating outselling gas boilers

🏭 Fossil fuel demand has peaked

@gnievchenko We have to reclassify these deals as something akin to "Chinese Series B" - they're a bigger, wilder beast...

[Simon Bennett @sijbennett]

@gnievchenko There were a few, but this is the biggie in the dataset https://t.co/waOmcaTTjg

We just released our updated #NetZeroRoadmap! 🚨

It shows the path to limiting global warming to 1.5 °C has narrowed. But record clean energy growth is keeping it open.

World at ‘beginning of end’ of fossil fuel era, IEA says https://t.co/fVv4DRPwsu

[Innovation News Network @InnoNewsNetwork]

We spoke to Simon Bennett, Energy Technology Analyst at @IEA, to learn about why continued sustainable energy innovation is essential as investment in clean energy technologies soars above that of fossil fuels.

I'm working w @FAScientists to support @ENERGY as it sets up a new Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation. They're looking to hire colleagues to help drive this project to a successful conclusion (and do a lot of other cool stuff too) https://t.co/coPg3UnOgZ

[G20 United States @g20org]

On the sidelines of the 3️⃣rd #SFWG Meeting in #Mahabalipuram, the #G20India delegates took part in a workshop that shed light on policy measures and financial instruments for catalysing the rapid development & deployment of green and low-carbon technologies.
