China long-term extraordinary innovation investments and scale to wean off fossil fuels versus the European Union (EU), US and the rest of the world

Driven by surging clean technology deployment, particularly for EVs, solar PV and wind this latest edition of Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP), explores the deepening connections between energy, trade, manufacturing and climate.

Five Horsemen which give cause for optimism in accelerating the global transition that will make achieving net zero possible.

Increased by almost 50% to nearly 510 gigawatts (GW) in 2023, 96% of newly installed, utility-scale solar PV and onshore wind capacity had lower generation costs than new coal and natural gas plants. In the next five years, more renewable capacity will be added to what has been installed for the last 100 years. 

Supporting the May 2023 G7 Leaders’ Summit deliberations in Hiroshima, Japan this special briefing provides an update on clean energy technology manufacturing in key regions. It focuses on five technologies – solar PV, wind, batteries, electrolysers and heat pumps – critical to the energy transition.

Commissioned by the Global Wind Energy Council, the report analyzes barriers and economic opportunities of wind energy deployment in Morocco, Egypt, Indonesia, Argentina and Colombia.

Energy Technology Perspectives 2023 is the International Energy Agency's Flagship publication that explores critical questions around clean energy and technology supply chains.

IEA primary analysis on the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat to 2027 indentifying key industry and barriers challenges to faster growth.

World’s first comprehensive study of how to transition to a net zero energy system by 2050. Beside setting-up clean cost-effective and economically productive pathways, the report also examines key uncertainties and behavioral changes to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
