> Quantum Commodity Intelligence - The International Energy Agency has proposed to make all its data and analysis freely available following calls from academics late last year, Quantum has learned, in a major move that is likely to accelerate data transparency in the energy sector as the world prepares to reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
> Hannah Ritchie, senior researcher at Our World in Data, the online database for open-source data, wrote a tribune in Nature magazine last October, followed by an online article calling on the IEA to drop its paywall for the benefit of scientific research.
> "This data exists. It is produced by the IEA. But the IEA only makes a fraction of their data publicly available, and keeps the rest behind very costly paywalls. This is despite the fact that the IEA is largely funded through public money from its member countries," she added.
> Our World in Data was funded in 2015 by Oxford University researcher Max Roser to create a centralised, open and free database available online.
> In September 2021, Roser asked his Twitter followers what dataset they would like to access for free, and many mentioned the IEA data.
> The IEA employs around 200 analysts based in Paris, France, who compile data for all energy sectors and write research.
