Energy Technology Perspectives 2012
Pathways to a Clean Energy System
Global demand for energy shows no signs of slowing; carbon dioxide emissions
keep surging to new records; and political uprisings, natural disasters and
volatile energy markets put the security of energy supplies to the test.
More than ever, the need for a fundamental shift to a cleaner and more reliable
energy system is clear. What technologies can make that transition happen?
How do they work? And how much will it all cost?
The 2012 edition of Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP), to be released in June,
answers these and other fundamental questions. Its up-to-date analysis, data
and associated website are an indispensible resource for energy technology
and policy professionals in the public and private sectors.
ETP 2012 is the International Energy Agency’s most

interactive tools and more energy technology developments. It demonstrates
extensive data coverage how technologies – from electric vehicles to wind
farms – can make a decisive difference in achieving
the internationally agreed objective of limiting global temperature rise to 2°C
above pre-industrial levels. It also provides guidance for decision makers on
how to reshape current energy trends to build a clean, secure petitive
energy future.
INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974.
Its primary mandate was – and is – two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its member
countries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative
research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 member
countries and beyond. The IEA carries
