[[Environmental regulations]] have been used since the 1970s to promote more sustainable use of energy. Some governments have committed to dates for [[Coal phase-out|phasing out coal-fired power plants]] and ending new [[fossil fuel exploration]]. Governments can require that new cars produce zero emissions, or new buildings are heated by electricity instead of gas. [[Renewable portfolio standard]]s in several countries require utilities to increase the percentage of electricity they generate from renewable sources.<br />
Governments can accelerate energy system transformation by leading the development of infrastructure such as long-distance electrical transmission lines, smart grids, and hydrogen pipelines. In transport, appropriate infrastructure and incentives can make travel more efficient and less car-dependent. [[Urban planning]] that discourages [[Urban sprawl|sprawl]] can reduce energy use in local transport and buildings while enhancing quality of life. Government-funded research, procurement, and incentive policies have historically been critical to the development and maturation of clean energy technologies, such as solar and lithium batteries. In the IEA's scenario for a net zero-emission energy system by 2050, public funding is rapidly mobilised to bring a range of newer technologies to the demonstration phase and to encourage deployment.</div>FuzzyBot
