Substituting other fossil fuels by natural gas can substantially reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and of other pollutants and contribute to the decarbonisation policy objectives. Regasification terminals can play a key role in ensuring security of supply, diversification of supply, as well as enabling the integration of renewable energy.

It is increasingly important for policy makers to identify ways to leverage the benefits of renewable energy and at the same time preserve the affordability and reliability of electricity. Studies have explored coordinating fossil fuel fired power plants with renewable energy. This report presents several options for the northern hemisphere.

Tracks the indicators of each SDG 7 objective within the UNECE sub-regions. The report then goes further to identify the current status of sustainable energy across a broader set of energy indicators, identifies key issues along the energy value chain, and highlights UNECE country responses to initiate change.

Summarises the findings to date on the main barriers to the use of gas in maritime transportation. The report demonstrates that in order to allow the use of LNG as marine fuel to grow, six key enablers need to be in place: access to LNG, reliable logistics, legal certainty, favourable investment climate, knowledge and skills, and public acceptance.

Argues that the conventional model of uranium as a mineral commodity needs to give way to a new model of uranium as a "critical energy material" for meeting the global sustainability objectives on energy and climate action.

Explores the progress in energy efficiency and renewable energy in selected countries of South-Eastern Europe, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia, and the Russian Federation. The study analyses policy, legislative and regulatory frameworks, financial environment and level of awareness from 2010 to the present.

There is a strong medium-to-long-term future for gas so long as it wholeheartedly embraces the energy transition and partners with renewables to produce carbon-free products, notably hydrogen, whilst embracing carbon capture and storage.

Presents a global classification and management system applicable to mineral, petroleum, nuclear fuel, renewable energy and anthropogenic resources, as well as injection projects for geological storage. This updated version of UNFC is intended to satisfy the requirements of different resource sectors and applications.

The objective of the "Pathways to Sustainable Energy" project is the development of strategies and actions to ensure the attainment of sustainable energy in the ECE region. The project's goal is to strengthen the knowledge and capacities of countries to develop, implement and track national sustainable energy policies.

This publication aims to elucidate the status of implementation of energy efficiency standards in buildings and deployment of appropriate technologies, and to identify good policy practices and replicable solutions. It also proposes a set of general recommendations and priority actions arising from the analysis.

Presents an overview of a series of 'Hard Talks' held in Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Serbia and Ukraine in 2016-2019. They promoted demand-driven debates held in each country on what is needed to change for the private sector to invest in sustainable energy and increase the uptake of renewable energy.

The United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS) is designed as a unifying framework for the integrated management of resources.
