The IEA, established in 1974, promotes international energy technology collaboration among 29 OECD countries and some non-members through implementing agreements. Its aims include maintaining oil supply systems, improving energy policies, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The flexible mechanism allows countries to share costs and resources, reducing R&D expenses by 50-95%. Key technologies include fossil fuels efficiency, renewable energy, fusion power, and end-use technologies. Success stories highlight benefits like cost savings, policy influences, and broader environmental goals.
