- Energy Technology Perspectives
Energy Technology Perspectives is a biennial publication of the International Energy Agency, subtitled "In support of the G8 Plan of Action". This refers to the G-8's 2005 request for advice from the IEA regarding issues such as how to achieve a 50% reduction in global CO2 emissions by 2050.Fact|date=July 2008
ETP first appeared in 2006, and again in June 2008.

The Agency’s leading biennial publication responds to the G8 call on the IEA for guidance on how to achieve a clean, clever and competitive energy future. The book is built around three sets of global energy technology scenarios. These are a Baseline (business-as-usual Scenario), a range of ACT Scenarios showing how CO2 emissions could be brought back to current levels by 2050, and a set of BLUE Scenarios outlining how they could be reduced to 50% below current levels. ETP 2008 also contains global roadmaps showing how each of 17 key advanced energy technologies would need to be developed and deployed to deliver the ACT or the BLUE outcomes. Our current path is not sustainable.
