QatarEnergy (QE), formerly Qatar Petroleum (QP), is the state-owned company that operates all oil and gas activities, including exploration, extraction, production, refining, transport, and storage. QE aims to become the world''s LNG producer by 2030, with an increased strategic focus on energy efficiency and sustainability.

The work of the IEA on energy subsidies is incorporated into major publications in the World Energy Outlook series. In addition, the IEA has provided regular input to G20 and other international subsidy removal efforts since 2009, when G20 leaders committed to "rationalize and phase out over the medium term inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that

1. Introduction. Energy subsidies are commonplace across developed and developing countries. Post-tax subsidies accounted for around $5.3 trillion, or 6.5%, of global GDP in 2015, while they can reach about 13%–18% of GDP in developing countries in Asia, the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region, or the Commonwealth

Battery Storage Subsidies in Japan. In the Sixth Strategic Energy Plan, published by the Japanese Government in October 2021, targets are set to (a) achieve carbon neutrality by 2050; (b) increase the share of renewables as part of Japan''s total electricity generation to 36-38% by 2030 (including 19-21% from solar and wind)

The Energy Strategy 2050 forms the political basis for these objectives. One important pillar of this strategy is the further development of electricity storage capacity in Switzerland. In the next years, three large-scale pumped hydro storage power plants will be connected to the grid. The first, the Limmern pumped storage plant (1 GW), should
