AIE : énergies fossiles, opacité, liens et influence

Reclaim Finance criticizes the International Energy Agency (IEA) for a lack of transparency regarding its budget, staffing, and internal procedures, highlighting significant influence from fossil fuel companies through seconded employees, peer reviews, and voluntary contributions.

• The IEA operates with significant opacity regarding its internal governance, failing to publish annual reports detailing its budget, usage, or a list of employees seconded from energy companies who continue to be paid by their original employers.
• Fossil fuel companies exert influence over IEA work through direct participation in document preparation and peer reviews, including the Coal Industry Advisory Board (CIAB), which focused its recent work on CO2 capture to promote low-carbon coal.
• Analysis of the 2019 World Energy Outlook (WEO) reveals specific industry ties: seven contributors were current or recent employees of companies such as Shell, Enel, ABB, Eni, MOL, and Total, and 20% of the 52 peer reviews came from private actors linked to fossil fuels or petrochemicals.
• One third of the IEA's budget is derived from voluntary contributions, yet the agency publishes no information regarding the origins of these funds.
