IEA Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions – World Energy Transition
In the NZE Scenario, about 60 per cent of the CO2 emissions reductions in 2030 in the energy sector are associated with batteries, making them a critical element. Batteries in EVs and storage installations reduce the need for imported fossil fuels, increasing self-sufficiency in many countries.

Executive summary – Batteries and Secure Energy Transitions –
Batteries are key to the transition away from fossil fuels and accelerate the pace of energy efficiency through electrification and greater use of renewables in power. In transport, a growing fleet of EVs on the road displaces the need for 8 million barrels of oil per day by 2030 in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario, more than the

Unlocking the potential for batteries to contribute to security of
Grid-scale batteries maximise the benefits of renewable energy and provide extra resilience during times of tight electricity supply. Additionally, these batteries, alongside more renewable generation, will help off-set the retirement of thermal generation and support New Zealand''s transition to a low-emissions economy.

What are grid-scale batteries & how can they benefit New Zealand?
Grid-scale batteries maximise the benefits of renewable energy and provide extra resilience during times of tight electricity supply. Additionally, these batteries, alongside more renewable generation, will help off-set the retirement of thermal generation and support New Zealand’s transition to a low-emissions economy.
Are batteries a key role in energy transitions?
Batteries are set to play a leading role in secure energy transitions. They are critical to achieve commitments made by nearly 200 countries at COP28 in 2023. Their commitments aim to transition away from fossil fuels and by 2030 to triple global renewable energy capacity and double the pace of energy efficiency improvements.
Are batteries the key to a sustainable future?
Those pledges include tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030, doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements, and facilitating the transition away from fossil fuels. Batteries have an essential role to support of the goal of tripling the installed capacity of renewables worldwide.
What's new in battery technology?
These include tripling global renewable energy capacity, doubling the pace of energy efficiency improvements and transitioning away from fossil fuels. This special report brings together the latest data and information on batteries from around the world, including recent market developments and technological advances.
When will the New Zealand energy strategy be published?
We will be updating this page over the course of the year. The strategy will be published by the end of 2024. The Government is developing the New Zealand Energy Strategy to support the transition to a low emissions economy, address strategic challenges in the energy sector, and signal pathways away from fossil fuels.
Should New Zealand transition to a low- emissions energy system?
As signalled in the Climate Change Commission’s final advice earlier this year1, and the Government’s recent consultation on the first emissions reduction plan2, transitioning to a low- emissions energy system will be critical to New Zealand meeting that goal.
