Renewables and climate change mitigation

Head, Renewable Energy Division International Energy Agency
Our Common Future under Climate Change – Paris – 9 July 2015

Climate pledges shift the energy sector
One-quarter of the world’s energy supply is low carbon in 2030; energy intensity improves three-times faster than the last decade
Renewables reach nearly 60% of new capacity additions in the power sector; two-thirds of additions are in China, EU, US & India
Natural gas is the only fossil-fuel that increases its share of the global energy mix
Total coal demand in the US, Europe & Japan contracts by 45%, while the growth in India’s coal use slows by one-quarter
Climate pledges for COP21 are the right first step towards meeting the climate goal

1. Peak in emissions: IEA strategy to raise climate ambition
Global energy-related GHG emissions
Five measures – shown in a “Bridge Scenario” – achieve a peak in emissions around 2020, using only proven technologies & without harming economic growth

High capex: WACC matters
Market and regulatory risks can increase weighted average cost of capital and undermine competitiveness of PV and Wind power
Impact of cost of capital on the levelised cost of solar PV
© OECD/IEA 2015 A growing gap increases the risk of miscalculations

Concluding Remarks
Renewables a crucial element for energy security, diversification, and climate change mitigation
As RE become competitive in many markets, the focus is more on market design and less on support policies
A global carbon price would be very welcome, but…
It is difficult in our very diverse world
It must decrease, not increase, volatility of FF use prices
Carbon taxes or trading systems with price corridors
Other tools needed to foster innnovation & investment
in renewables
In most-needed infrastructures
