As the energy transition continues to accelerate, it\u2019s more important than ever that we update our models\u2014both our empirical and mental models\u2014of where we\u2019re heading. Things that we used to take for granted, like oil and gas demand increasing every year, are no longer assured. And governments the world over are gradually tightening their restrictions on fossil fuel use and emissions, so it\u2019s important to keep our data on climate policies and pledges current.<\/p>\n
In this episode, we are joined by Christophe McGlade, Head of the Energy Supply Unit at IEA, to discuss the latest updates to the IEA\u2019s Announced Pledges Scenario in light of the pledges announced at the COP26 conference in November 2021. We also revisit IEA\u2019s other main scenarios, and review what the world needs to do to put us on a trajectory to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. Other topics covered in this interview include an exploration into the gap between what emissions scenarios imply about stranded fossil fuel assets and how the oil and gas industry is actually proceeding with the blessing of governments; the role of the oil and gas industry in the energy transition; the role of negative emissions technologies in the IEA\u2019s scenarios; and the IEA\u2019s plan to make more of its data available for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
How can the world align with the IEA\u2019s scenarios for limiting warming to 1.5 degrees, and how should the oil & gas industry proceed in the energy transition?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[871,111],"tags":[107,211,21,1025,1027,1026,22,37,261,675,249,223,311,64,490,45],"class_list":["post-3396","xen_episodes","type-xen_episodes","status-publish","hentry","category-climate-science-miniseries","category-energy-transition-show-podcasts","tag-climate-change","tag-climate-science","tag-coal","tag-cop26","tag-decline-rates","tag-development-banks","tag-emissions","tag-energy-efficiency","tag-gas","tag-iea","tag-methane","tag-oil","tag-scenarios","tag-solar","tag-stranded-assets","tag-wind","xen_guests-christophe-mcglade"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
