The average lifespan of a building is 50 years, so the design of buildings that are constructed now will have an effect on energy consumption in our cities until well into the 2070s. This article presents the most effective options for cities to set mandatory minimum energy performance standards for buildings, to prevent locking in … Continue reading “How to set energy efficiency requirements for new buildings”
This brochure provides step-by-step instructions for walk-through energy audits, focusing on heating, lighting, and bills and meter readings in offices and factories or warehouses.
This report by the Global Energy Transitions Commission presents a complete picture of global building sector emissions and describes pathways to decarbonisation for both existing buildings and new construction.
This report investigates different models for the deployment of e-bike fleets and charging/swapping infrastructures in sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights the potential advantages of battery swapping for riders, highlights emerging best practice for Batteries as a Service, and provides recommendations on policy, regulation and financing to support uptake of e-motorcycles and the growth of BaaS in … Continue reading “Charge Up! Battery-as-a-service: A pioneering business model for driving the e-mobility transition in Africa”
The Global Innovation Hub aims to promote transformative innovations for a low-emission and climate-resilient future.
This web page highlights the role of buildings in the energy transition (heating, cooling, lighting, etc), and presents data and recommendations.
This article explores how system planning, and in particular assessments of system adequacy, will need to innovate and evolve to allow power systems to keep delivering secure and affordable electricity supply during energy transitions.
This report looks at the mineral demand for a net-zero emissions energy system, focusing on seven critical minerals and discussing the role of technological choices, circular economy strategies, and responsible mining in reducing the environmental impact of the transition.
This report investigates the potential to develop circular supply chains for EV batteries.
This report brings together the latest data and information on batteries from around the world, including recent market developments and technological advances. It also offers insights and analysis on leading markets and key barriers to growth, and identifies synergies and potential bottlenecks across different sectors and parts of the supply chain.
