The IEA said that this reflects the continued domination of fossil fuels—particularly coal—in the energy mix and the slow uptake of other, lower-carbon supply technologies. The costs of most clean energy technologies fell more rapidly than anticipated. In 1990 the underlying carbon intensity of supply was 57.1 tCO 2 /toe).
