IEA IETS Task XXII
Climate Resilience and Energy Adaptation in Industry under Uncertainty
IEA IETS Task XXII - Climate Resilience and Energy Adaptation in Industry under Uncertainty under the IEA Technology Collaboration Programme - Industrial Energy-Related Technologies and Systems.
The main purpose of IEA IETS Task XXII is to promote understanding and progression in digitalization, Artificial Intelligence, and related technologies, thus facilitating climate resilience and energy adaptation in energy-intensive industries.
IEA IETS Task XXII is currently in its initial phase—Subtask 1—running from December 15, 2024, to September 30, 2026
Our First
Global Survey on Climate Resilience & Energy Adaptation in Industry
The first survey under IEA IETS Task XXII is now open! This survey serves two key purposes:
1️⃣ Mapping Country-Specific Insights – We aim to understand how different countries approach climate resilience and energy adaptation in energy-intensive industries, identifying trends, challenges, and opportunities.
2️⃣ Building a Global Network – By gathering input from researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers, we strive to create a collaborative platform for sharing knowledge and advancing digitalization and AI-driven solutions.
Why Participate?
✅ Contribute to shaping strategies for climate resilience and energy adaptation
✅ Share insights on digitalization and AI applications in energy-intensive industries
✅ Help build an international expert network for future collaborations
📌 Estimated Time: 5–10 minutes
📌 Confidentiality: Responses will be anonymized and used for research and policy recommendations.

Objectives
Deepening
the understanding of stakeholder dynamics
By both deepening the understanding of stakeholder dynamics as well as unearthing the potential within related fields, the aim here is to pave the way for collaboration and synergy between researchers and industries.
Expanding
the knowledge base
This objective deals with expanding the knowledge base concerning climate resilience and energy adaptation within industrial sectors that are intensive in energy use. By doing so, the aim is to lay the groundwork for informed decision-making and innovative solutions.
Identifying
needs and strategic initiatives
The objective of identifying the precise needs and the strategic initiatives planned to strengthen the energy-intensive industries, the goal is to ensure that these sectors are equipped to meet both current and future challenges.
Subtask 1: Organization of Work
Activity A
Definitions, and preliminary state-of-the-art investigations
Activity A aims to conduct preliminary state-of-the-art investigations to:
-
Outline definitions and terminologies associated with climate resilience and energy adaptation in industry.
-
List technologies and methods that facilitate energy flexibility in industry.
-
Highlight the applications (specific industries) mentioned in scholarly literature.
Activity B
Survey in participating IETS countries
Activity B aims to conduct a survey with the task partners, focusing on:
-
The current status, potential, driving factors, obstacles, and requirements for the adoption of climate resilience and energy adaptation within the industry.
-
Collect examples or case studies.
Activity C
Exchange with other IEA TCPs and IETS Tasks
This activity aims to identify potential collaborations with other IEA TCPs and IETS Tasks by:
-
Establishing communication pathways to facilitate both the exchange of knowledge and the exploration of potential collaborative efforts of shared interest.
-
Creating a cooperative framework between the current Task and other IETS Tasks, as well as with different IEA TCPs.
-
Considering joint activities, such as attending each other’s workshops, sharing valuable insights among Task members, and arranging brief conference calls.
Activity D
Proposals for future Subtasks
This activity’s goal is to recommend subsequent subtasks by:
-
Carrying out a joint, in-depth analysis of shared objectives and interests among Task participants.
-
Cooperatively formulating proposals for future subtasks with input from Task members.
