The Covid-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have led to major  disruptions to global energy and technology supply chains. Soaring prices for  energy and materials, and shortages of critical minerals, semiconductors and  other components are posing potential roadblocks for the energy transition. 

Against this backdrop, the Energy Technology Perspectives 2023 (ETP-2023)  provides analysis on the risks and opportunities surrounding the development and  scale-up of clean energy and technology supply chains in the years ahead, viewed  through the lenses of energy security, resilience and sustainability.

Building on the latest energy, commodity and technology data, as well as recent  energy, climate and industrial policy announcements, ETP-2023 explores critical  questions around clean energy and technology supply chains: Where are the key  bottlenecks to sustainably scale up those supply chains at the pace needed? How  might governments shape their industrial policy in response to new energy security  concerns for clean energy transitions? Which clean technology areas are at  greatest risk of failing to develop secure and resilient supply chains? And what  can governments do to mitigate such risks while meeting broader development  goals?

The Energy Technology Perspectives series is the IEA’s flagship technology  publication, which has been key source of insights on all matters relating to energy  technology since 2006. ETP-2023 will be an indispensable guidebook for decisionmakers in governments and industry seeking to tap into the opportunities offered  by the emerging new energy economy, while navigating uncertainties and  safeguarding energy security.
