Energy Technology Perspectives

Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP) is a publication on energy technology published by the <a href="/facts/International_Energy_Agency/HErEraSy">International Energy Agency</a> (IEA). The publication's goal is to illustrate how technologies can help achieve the objective of limiting the global temperature rise to 2°C and enhancing energy security.
In 2005, <a href="/facts/G8/dPszB9oo">G8</a> leaders invited to the International Energy Agency contribute to the Gleneagles G8 Plan of Action on Climate Change, Clean Energy, and Sustainable Development. They tasked the IEA with providing advice on alternative scenarios and strategies for a "clean, clever, competitive energy future." The outcome of this initiative was the Energy Technology Perspectives, first published in 2006.
Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP) provides a long-term outlook on the global energy system, presenting main results up to the year 2050. The 2012 edition extended the analysis to include scenarios up to 2075. ETP models the global energy system under different scenarios, considering around 500 technology options.
Targeted at policymakers, energy experts, business leaders, and investors, the book aims to serve as a guide for decision-makers on energy trends when setting policy and business objectives related to energy technology. The book is complemented by an online component that includes data visualizations and downloadable data and figures. Information on the modeling methodology, assumptions, and results are also presented online.
