IEA Scoreboard 2009
35 Key Energy Trends over 35 Years
Measuring and assessing how much has been done by member countries over the years
to follow their underlying principles is not an easy task. Each country is unique
in terms of economy, geography, climate, energy resources, etc. Taking into account
some of these specificities, the IEA Scoreboard
2009 compares what has been achieved by member countries in diversifying their energy
mix, in promoting non-fossil fuels and energy efficiency, in encouraging research
and development, and, more generally, in creating a policy framework consistent with
their shared policy goals.
Since the IEA Scoreboard
2009 is published in conjunction with the 35th anniversary of the IEA, 35 themes,
ranging from diversification to prices, show how IEA countries have performed in their
efforts to attain energy security, environmental protection and economic growth. This
book, which combines statistical rigour with easy access and readability, is an ideal
resource for anyone who would like to have a quick overview of energy development
in IEA member countries over the last 35 years. The publication also includes selected
energy-related statistics for over 140 countries, economies and regions in the world.
