As countries gradually revise their NDCs to target more ambitious emissions reductions, Enerdata and Climate Transparency analyse current mitigation trajectories, and how the current Covid19 pandemic might impact mid- and long-term goals. |
Publication – Renewables Auctions and the Energy Transition |
|
 |
This analysis covers renewable energy support mechanisms with a look at their evolution and effectiveness and a specific focus on RES auctions. Auctions prices have been going down over the past years, reaching "zero premium" in some cases. Can renewable power generation hold its own against fossil fuels without support? |

Encyclopedia Article – Bioenergy: biomass supply chains, key elements for their development |
|
 |
Biomass provides an alternative to fossil fuels even in sectors that are difficult to decarbonise, such as transport. However, its balance sheet depends on the channels and methods used, as land-use change and intensive agriculture can lead to high greenhouse gas emissions. This article reviews biomass technologies and supply chains and their associated constraints. Read the article (in French) |
