The International Energy Agency (IEA), headquartered in France, is a prominent intergovernmental organisation established in 1974. It plays a crucial role in the global energy sector, focusing on energy security, economic development, and environmental sustainability. The IEA operates extensively across Europe, North America, and Asia, providing valuable insights and data to member countries and beyond. Renowned for its comprehensive energy statistics and policy recommendations, the IEA offers unique services such as the World Energy Outlook and the Energy Technology Perspectives. These resources are instrumental in guiding nations towards sustainable energy practices. With a strong market position, the IEA has achieved notable milestones, including its pivotal role in shaping international energy policies and fostering collaboration among member states.

In 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported a global CO2 emissions intensity of approximately 0.35 kg CO2e per kWh of electricity used. This figure reflects the agency's ongoing commitment to monitoring and addressing carbon emissions in the energy sector. Historical data shows a slight increase in emissions intensity from 0.367 kg CO2e in 2020 to 0.358 kg CO2e in 2021, and then a decrease to 0.35 kg CO2e in 2022. The IEA has not disclosed specific Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor have they set formal reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As of now, there are no documented climate pledges or reduction initiatives reported by the agency. The IEA operates independently and does not inherit emissions data from a parent organization, ensuring that its reported figures are solely reflective of its own assessments and methodologies. The agency continues to play a crucial role in shaping global energy policies and promoting sustainable practices within the industry.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
Iea is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
