Title:
The Role of Natural Gas in the Clean Energy Transition of Emerging Economies
Agreement Number:
GC-129305S
Agreement Value:
$125,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 31, 2019 - Mar 29, 2019
Description:
The objective of this Project is to analyse the role of fuel switching from coal to natural gas and of natural gas in clean energy transitions in the WEO. It will highlight the importance of natural gas to support emerging economies switch from coal to natural gas and to increase the share of renewable energy sources in their electricity mix, thereby increasing access to clean, sustainable and affordable energy to its population, including women and youth.
Organization:
Natural Resources Canada
Expected Results:

It is intended that the Project will deepen and extend previous flagship publication World Energy Outlook (WEO) analysis of the environmental impacts of switching from coal to gas in a range of sectors (i.e. mainly power, but also industry and buildings as appropriate) and fuels (i.e. mainly coal, but also oil and solid biomass in some specific cases). Gas as a stationary fuel will be the focal point of the analysis, including the important role natural gas plays as countries increase the share of renewables in their electricity mix. It will also show the importance of natural gas to support emerging economies increase the share of renewable energy sources in their electricity mix, to increase the access to clean, sustainable and affordable energy to its population, including women and youth.
