Net Zero World Initiative

The United States, partner countries, and philanthropies are joining forces to accelerate the transition to clean, secure energy systems and build a Net Zero World.

The Net Zero World Initiative leverages expertise across U.S. government agencies and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories, including NREL, for a whole-of-government approach focused on advancing the decarbonization of global energy systems for our partners.

The program supports countries committed to raising their climate ambitions through the development of tailored strategies addressing technical clean energy pathways and deployment and investment opportunities that keep net-zero within reach.

What We Do

---

Deliver holistic support for immediate and sustainable transformative projects that maximize the initiative's on-the-ground impacts.

Foster peer-to-peer learning opportunities.

Ensure a just transition.

A discussion highlighting opportunities for a clean battery to EV market included Daniel Vega, U.S. Department of Energy; Deon Arinaldo, IESR; Yanuar Fajari, South East Asia Energy Transition Partnership; and Patrick Adhiatmadja, Electric Mobility Ecosystem Association.

U.S. Indonesia Embassy Clean Energy Workshop To Strengthen Battery-to Electric Vehicle Supply Chain

The Net Zero World Initiative led by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration and Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, held the Clean Energy for Indonesian Industrial Zones: Battery-to-Electric Vehicle workshop to advance the use of clean energy technologies to decarbonize Indonesia’s industrial zones and to strengthen battery-to-electric vehicle supply chain development.

By joining the Net Zero World Initiative, partners have access to:

• Tailored energy modeling and analysis collaboration to inform country-driven net-zero pathways and technical and investment plans
• World-class technical support for transformative implementation and just energy transition actions
• Investment mobilization assistance at all stages by:
  
  • Feeding into financial planning: conducting detailed studies to comprehend the costs, benefits, and risks of carbon emission reduction plans in energy systems
  • Leveraging financial tools: Developing or improving financial instruments (like revolving loan funds), fiscal policies (such as tax rebates), and other mechanisms to generate capital for clean energy technology
  • De-risking projects: Providing technical support for initial assessments, detailed studies, and design plans to reduce financial risks in clean energy projects.

Results and Impacts

Partner countries have the technical solutions, knowledge, support, financing, and confidence to rapidly transition to clean, secure, and equitable energy systems globally.

Key Impacts

• Increased clean energy deployment and transitions
• Enhanced local capacity for decision-making and implementation
• Accelerated decarbonization pathways that reflect local priorities
• Bolstered investment in clean energy technologies
• Demonstrated results and pioneering actions that are replicated and inspire neighboring countries
• Partner countries serve as regional leaders for high ambition and reap economic, environmental, and social rewards.

Net Zero World Partners

To date, these countries and philanthropies have joined a broad team of U.S. government agencies and U.S. DOE national laboratories in the Net Zero World Initiative.

Philanthropic Partners

Vital collaboration with our philanthropic partners helps to accelerate net-zero energy transitions globally by:

• Enabling acceleration of pioneering, high-impact decarbonization actions and investment mobilization that will achieve large-scale emission reductions in partner countries and serve as confidence-building models for replication by others.
• Ensuring a global, sustained approach to providing regional leaders with deep technical and capacity-building support to inform viable decarbonization pathways for affordable clean energy deployment at scale.
• Expanding the breadth of country impact by supporting regional and global collaborations and learning and replication on common energy transition transformative actions.
• Identifying opportunities for in-depth work in additional key countries.
• Providing a platform for collaborating with other philanthropic efforts to ensure greater shared impact and alignment.
