IEA 4E EDNA: Electronic Devices and Networks Annex (Working period 2019 - 2021)
By 2030, the number of network-connected electronic devices worldwide is expected to exceed 100 billion, resulting in significant consequences for global energy consumption. The IEA 4E Electronic Devices and Networks Annex - EDNA therefore aims to develop policy recommendations to promote the energy efficiency of network-connected devices, and make those project results available to key stakeholders such as policy makers and product developers in the form of reports, policy briefs and tools.
IEA ISGAN Working Group 6: Transmission and Distribution Network Systems (Working period 2025-2026)
IEA ISGAN Working Group 6 focuses on Power Transmission and Distribution Systems (T&D), addressing challenges in developing future smart grids. It promotes technology deployment and strategic adoption to enhance the safe and secure supply of electricity. This supports electrification expansion, renewable integration, distributed generation, and customer engagement. During 2025-2026, the project will explore grid-forming inverters and their impact on the power grid and stakeholder interactions.
IEA TCP AFC Annex 33: Stationary Fuel Cells (Working period 2024 - 2027)
The focus of this task is on the secure supply of electricity for service and industrial applications. Analyses of at least three real applications (e.g. applications in healthcare facilities, data centers) show the strengths and weaknesses of stationary fuel cells compared to batteries and diesel generators. Global technological developments are considered in the analyses and target group-specific communication is used to promote the exchange with stakeholders.
IEA PVPS Actiongroup „Agri-photovoltaics“ (Working period 2025 - 2026)
Agri-photovoltaics combines open-field PV systems with agriculture to promote sustainable land use. This working group aims to collect and analyse international insights on agri-PV. Key focuses include efficient land use, climate resilience in agriculture, and enhancing public acceptance of solar energy.
IEA AMF Task 66: Recent Progress in SAF Research (working period 2024 - 2026)
AMF Task 66 will build on the work and results of AMF Task 63 on Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). The Task will conduct workshops to exchange information and results on current research on SAF production and its application, as well as on related policy measures. This will enable the Task countries to better understand the state of the art, identify further research needs and derive recommendations for governments seeking to expand SAF production or use.
IEA HEV Task 41: Electric Freight Vehicles (Working period 2021 - 2022)
So far, the transformation of freight transport remains one of the biggest challenges on the path to zero emission. The Task's main objectives are to monitor progress and review relevant aspects for a successful introduction of electric freight vehicles (EFV) into the market. Austrian pilot projects on EFV are used to exchange barriers and solution approaches in an international context, especially with regard to substitution potential, costs and energy consumption. Together with incentive systems for the market launch of EFV, this will be discussed with logistics companies, the ministry (BMK) and research institutions.
IEA AMF Task 63: Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) (Working period 2021 - 2023)
Sustainable aviation fuels can reduce aviation GHG emissions. However, this potential remains largely untapped as such fuels currently account for only 0.1% of total aviation fuel consumption. The aim of the task was to lay the foundation for joint R&D work and facilitate the introduction of sustainable aviation fuels by identifying stakeholders, assessing national situations and sharing information.
IEA AFC Annex 35: Fuel cells für portable applications (Working period 2014 - 2017)
The aim of Annex 35 of Technology Collaboration Programm on Advanced Fuel Cells of the International Energy Agency (IEA) included information exchange on the status and new developments of portable fuel cell systems such as the direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) and the direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC) and comprised the development and manufacture of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) all the way through to system components such as electronic converters or gas supply units.
IEA AFC Annex 31: Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Task 31 was a research and development oriented Task with the objective to contribute to the identification and development of techniques and materials to reduce the cost and improve the durability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs).
