1. THE IEA
International Energy Agency Founded in 1974 Formed in wake of 1973 oil embargo with mission to promote member country energy security -- autonomous agency of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) 28 member countries Asia Pacific: Australia, Japan, Republic of Korea and New Zealand North America: United States, Canada Europe: Austria, Belgium, Czech Rep, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and United Kingdom European Commission also participates in the work of the IEA Chile and Estonia are in the process of accession to become members of the IEA Headquarters: Paris Decision-making body: Governing Board Consists of member country representatives Under the Governing Board, several committees are focusing on each area Secretariat: Staff of around 240, mainly energy experts and statisticians from its member OECD/IEA 2014
The 3 E s of Sound Energy Policy Energy security Economic growth Environmental sustainability And a fourth E Engagement worldwide
2. ENGAGEMENT WORLDWIDE
IEA worldwide engagement IEA member countries Accession countries Key Partner countries Countries co-operating through IEA programmes
The IEA has strengthened close cooperation with its key Partner countries - more than half of global energy consumption now takes place outside the IEA region Brazil Cooperation on the global Hydropower Roadmap and 2013 World Energy Outlook Special Focus on Brazil have greatly contributed to deepening bilateral relations. China China s cooperation with the IEA has deepened with close collaboration on publications such as the China Wind Roadmap and recommendations to China s gas market report. OECD/IEA 2013
International Partnerships and Initiatives Responding to IEA, G8 and G20 priorities Consolidating institutional contacts Linking Countries with IA Experts Brazil, China, India, Russia, South Africa Mexico, Kazakhstan, Singapore Implementing Agreements International Low-Carbon Energy Technology Platform
3. IEA ENERGY TECHNOLOGY NETWORK
Ensure Security? Yes, through Energy Technology RD&D Collaboration In 1974 the IEA established a structure for governments to carry out collaborative RD&D to conserve existing resources develop alternative energy sources improve energy efficiency Since then, 80 multilateral technology initiatives (Implementing Agreements) have been created, with 41 currently operating First IAs focused on coal now the focus is on renewables IAs are the core of a network of senior experts the IEA Energy Technology Network
Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT) Senior technology experts representing IEA Member countries Objectives Enhance and Expand Analysis Provide Strategic Policy Guidance Engage with Major Economies Strengthen the Energy Technology Network Encourage Investments in Clean Energy Technologies
CERT Bodies Relevant expert delegates from IEA Member countries Working Parties End-use (buildings, electricity, industry, transport) Fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) Fusion (physics, materials, devices) Renewables (technologies and deployment) Experts Groups and advisory boards Renewables R&D Priority-setting and Evaluation Forums for international co-operation through technical and cross-cutting workshops
Implementing Agreements More than 6,000 scientists and experts Representing 500 government agencies, research organisations, universities, energy companies, industries, businesses, and consultants Over 1,400 projects completed to date + EC + OPEC + UNIDO +ITER + 61 Private companies (13 located outside IEA region)
Implementing Agreement members Partner and other countries 12% Private sector 10% IEA Member countries 74% Int. Orgs. 4%
Implementing Agreement members - detail IEA North America IEA Asia-Pacific Asia (China, India) Central/South America IEA Europe Middle East/N. Africa Southeast Asia Other Europe Africa Russia
What is an Implementing Agreement? A flexible mechanism for collaborative RD&D and related topics Technical analysis, data, benchmarks, recommended practices, online tools, expert networks, project financing, personnel exchanges, pilot plants A contract based on the principle of equitable sharing of rights and obligations All technologies supply and demand Cross-cutting activities Energy efficiency (buildings, electricity, industry, transport) Fossil fuels Renewable energies and hydrogen Fusion power
Benefits of participating Linking research, industry and policy Reduced cost and duplication of work Greater project scale Accelerated development and deployment Harmonised technical standards Strengthened national RD&D capabilities Intellectual property rights Information sharing and networking Linking IEA member countries and non-member countries
IEA and the IAs The IEA Secretariat supports IAs by Synthesising policy messages from results Raising awareness of IA results Policy makers, private sector, other stakeholders Facilitating contact with Partner countries Providing legal advice Implementing Agreements Independent groups do not belong to the IEA Self-funded Provide targeted expertise to IEA Data, technology advice, roadmaps, workshops
4. OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLABORATION
Opportunities for collaboration Sharing knowledge, building capacities, fulfilling strategic national interests Implementing Agreements Provide a practical means to fulfill national energy strategies Provide sound knowledge to support decision making Provide a mechanism for industries and the financial and public sectors to share resources and advance technology development Enable collaborative projects between experts across the globe Capacity building and project financing International Low-Carbon Energy Technology Platform Advance understanding on technology issues through national or regional dialogue workshops Vehicle for collaboration among IEA Members, Partner countries and international organizations How2Guides: manuals for technology roadmap tailored to national or regional frameworks, capacities and needs Capacity building through customised projects
Focus Capacity building Climate Technology Initiatives (CTI IA) CTI Objectives Foster international co-operation for accelerated development and diffusion of climate-friendly and environmentally sound technologies and practices Main achievements/known for Assistance with technology needs assessments, training courses, project financing, targeted capacity building, and expert exchanges Spotlight The Project Financing Network (PFAN) assists project developers to plan, finance and implement small- and medium-sized environmentally sound projects Clean Energy Financing (CEF) events provide opportunities to submit proposals Total financing leveraged by end-2012 = USD 5 billion www.climatetech.net
Focus Capacity building Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE IA) ETDE Objectives Provide governments, industry and the research community with access to the widest range of information on energy research, science and technology Main achievements/known for The largest energy RD&D knowledge base - over 5 million research literature citations Free access to over 100 economies Spotlight More precise research results than Google scholar Database now links to patents worldwide Popular topics highlight hot research topics worldwide www.etde.org
Focus Capacity building Energy Technology Systems Analysis (ETSAP IA) ETSAP Objectives Assist decision makers in assessing current energy technologies and markets that will meet future energy supply, economic development and environmental protection Continual developments of the MARKAL model and the Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System (TIMES) More than 250 institutions in 70 countries have used ETSAP models Main achievements/known for Models and systems analysis Spotlight Succinct and insightful briefs of over 80 technologies and systems Integrating policy instruments, building regulations, and financial measures into the models www.iea-etsap.org
International Low-Carbon Energy Technology Platform Created in 2010 upon mandate of IEA Ministers Engaging with Partner countries and organisations on lowcarbon energy technologies Adapting IEA global analysis to regional and local contexts Activities How2Guide manuals for roadmap development at the national and regional levels Wind, smart grids, bioenergy Dialogue workshops and partnership building (engagement) Bioenergy (Russia, South Africa) Selected thematic analysis (cross-cutting) Technology financing (June 2012) Gaps in international collaboration (March 2014) OECD/IEA 2011 2014 25
Focus principles of the How2Guide IEA Global Roadmap Engages with public and private stakeholders to establish the barriers to technology deployment and the policies needed IEA Technology Platform How2Guide Provides practical information for policy makers and planners to establish a national or regional technology-specific roadmap OECD/IEA 2011 2014
