Tracking Clean Energy Progress 2015
Published annually, the Tracking Clean Energy Progress (TCEP) report highlights how the overall development and deployment of clean energy technologies evolve, year on year. Each technology and sector is tracked against the interim 2025 2°C Scenario (2DS) targets of the IEA Energy Technology Perspectives 2015 (ETP 2015), which lays out pathways towards a sustainable energy system in 2050.
Energy Efficiency Market Report 2015
The 2015 Energy Efficiency Market Report (EEMR) evaluates the impact of energy efficiency in the energy system and assesses the scale and outlook for further energy efficiency investment using detailed country-by-country energy efficiency indicator data and IEA expertise.
Policies to Promote Non-hydro Renewable Energy in the United States and Selected Countries
2005 Energy Information Administration report
U.S. Energy Information Administration: Energy in Briefs
Energy in Briefs explain important energy topics in plain language. Each Brief answers a question relevant to the public and recommends resources for further reading. Please use the tools to the right to give us feedback, share with others, or sign up for notices as new Briefs are released.
World Energy Outlook Special Report 2015: Energy and Climate Change
The International Energy Agency has long emphasised to its members and the world at large that energy production and use which is not compatible with international environmental requirements is not sustainable: it fails the test of energy security. The IEA, therefore, feels an obligation to make a contribution to COP21 – a contribution which reconciles climate and energy needs. That is the purpose of this special report in the World Energy Outlook series.

Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) accelerates development and facilitates deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality.
American Council on Renewable Energy
a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization, is dedicated to building a secure and prosperous America with clean, renewable energy. ACORE provides a common educational platform for a wide range of interests in the renewable energy community, focusing on technology, finance, policy and market development. We convene thought leadership forums and create energy industry partnerships to communicate the economic, security and environmental benefits of renewable energy
American Solar Energy Society
ASES’s purpose is to continue being a catalyst and a valuable resource in the emergence (and re-evolution) of America’s new energy economy, in a way that deeply values the role of all stakeholders in a collaborative and transparent co-creative process, so that all stakeholders enthusiastically participate in advancing the legacy of solar and renewable energy to enrich the quality of life, indefinitely.
American Wind Energy Association
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is the national trade association for the U.S. wind industry – the country’s fastest growing energy industry. With thousands of wind industry members and wind policy advocates, AWEA promotes wind energy as a clean source of electricity for American consumers.
Renewable Fuels Association
Since 1981, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) has been the authoritative voice of the U.S. ethanol industry. Our members are committed to helping our country become cleaner, safer, and more energy independent. In creating a forum for ethanol producers and industry stakeholders, RFA has achieved an unequaled record of results through action, advocacy and analysis.
Center for Climate and Energy Solutions
An independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to advance strong policy and action to address our climate and energy challenges. Launched in 2011, C2ES is the successor to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, long recognized in the United States and abroad as an influential and pragmatic voice on climate issues.
Biomass Energy Data Book
The Biomass Energy Data Book is a statistical compendium prepared and published by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) under contract with the Biomass Program in the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) program of the Department of Energy (DOE).

The Energy Technology Data Exchange (ETDE)
The Energy Technology Data Exchange, ETDE, was a multilateral energy information exchange initiative under the International Energy Agency (IEA) framework for 27+ years (1987-2014). The formal ETDE program end date: 30 June 2014. ETDE's vast collection of energy-related information had been available through the ETDE World Energy Base or ETDEWEB. ETDEWEB's content remains freely available to users, thanks to continued support from some of ETDE’s former member countries. Access is accomplished via having ETDEWEB being one of the resources searched in the new system called WorldWideEnergy.org. WorldWideEnergy not only has ETDEWEB content, but much more energy-related content, plus cross-lingual searching.
