Projected zero carbon electricity growth highly dependent on cost in parts of Asia

We project low zero-carbon technology costs will drive substantial growth in zero-carbon electricity capacity and generation and limit growth in fossil fuel-fired generation in parts of Asia between 2030 and 2050 in our International Energy Outlook 2023 (IEO2023). In the region we call Other Asia-Pacific (OAS), we project the electric power sector's CO2 emission annual growth rate to be the highest in the world between 2022 and 2050 across all cases. More »
