Only electric vehicles and lighting out of the 55 components being tracked by the International Energy Agency (IEA) are moving quickly enough and toward the direction of the Net Zero by 2050 Scenario trajectory. The IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE) is a pathway for the global energy sector to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, while also achieving universal energy access by 2030 and major improvements in air quality. IEA remains positive that current policy action and technology developments, such as record renewable electricity capacity additions, increasing momentum in hydrogen and carbon capture project announcements, among others – indicate that efforts on clean energy transitions are gaining ground. Tracking Clean Energy Progress (TCEP) assesses recent developments for 55 components of the energy system that are critical for clean energy transitions. Progress is assessed against the Net Zero by 2050 Scenario trajectory for 2030, and recommendations are provided on how they can get 'on track' with this pathway. The assessed components include technologies, infrastructure, sectors, subsectors, and cross-cutting strategies. The IEA provides a comprehensive suite of reports for each component.
