Energy sector economic stimulus packages for post-COVID-19 recovery

Policies are classified as “fossil unconditional” if they support production and consumption of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, or fossil fuel-based electricity) without any climate targets or additional pollution reduction requirements.

As “fossil conditional” if they support production or consumption of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, “blue” hydrogen or fossil fuel-based electricity) with climate targets or additional pollution reduction requirements.

As “clean unconditional” if they support production or consumption of energy that is both low-carbon and has negligible impacts on the environment if implemented with appropriate safeguards.

As “clean conditional” (“potentially clean”) if they are stated to support the transition away from fossil fuels, but unspecific about the implementation of appropriate environmental safeguards.

Policies outside of the two “fossil” and two “clean” buckets, or in both of them, fall under "other energy" category.
