Global Energy Review 2020: The impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on global energy demand and CO2 emissions. International Energy Agency, April 2020, 56 p. lienIn response to the exceptional circumstances stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, the annual IEA Global Energy Review has expanded its coverage to include real-time analysis of developments to date in 2020 and possible directions for the rest of the year. In addition to reviewing 2019 energy and CO2 emissions data by fuel and country, for this section of the Global Energy Review we have tracked energy use by country and fuel over the past three months and in some  cases – such as electricity – in real time. Some tracking will continue on a weekly basis. The uncertainty surrounding public health, the economy and hence energy  over the rest of 2020 is unprecedented. This analysis therefore not only charts a possible path for energy use and CO2 emissions in 2020 but also highlights the many factors that could lead to differing outcomes. We draw key lessons on how to navigate this once-in-a-century crisis.             The Future of&#160;Transport Between Digitalization and Decarbonization: Trends, Strategies and Effects on Energy Consumption / Michel&#160;Noussan, Manfred Hafner, Simone&#160;Tagliapietra. Springer, May 2020, 112 p. lienEnergy systems are rapidly transitioning towards decarbonization, thanks  in part to innovative digital technologies and changing mobility  demands. This open access book examines the decarbonization and  digitalization transformation in the transport sector, with a particular  focus on energy consumption. By studying historical trends and  outlining future scenarios, the authors illustrate the evolution of  energy consumption in the transport sector, compare alternative  decarbonization strategies, and analyze digitalization trends and their  effects on energy consumption. The book addresses a broad readership of  both academics and professionals working in the energy and transport  industries, as well as readers interested in the ongoing debate over  energy, mobility and climate change.
