We need new policies, regulatory frameworks, and institutions focused on four areas: creating market - based incentives to innovate and raise carbon productivity; addressing market failures that prevent abatement opportunities from being captured profitably; resolving issues of allocation and fairness, in particular between the developed and developing worlds and between industry sectors; and accelerating progress to avoid missing critical emissions targets.

Under the «new policies» scenario, the IEA says gas has a «very bright» outlook for the gas industry, particularly countries like Australia, the US and China, which have a lot of it to exploit, although the game plan relies on carbon capture being a serious and cost effective option by the mid 2020s.
