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. Smart grids, for example, make it easier and cheaper to replace fossil-fired power with renewables without jeopardizing the reliability of the energy system.
