How much will renewable hydrogen production drive demand for new renewable energy capacity by 2027?
…in renewable energy markets. Hydrogen production from renewable electricity is expected to play an important role in reaching long-term decarbonisation goals and improving energy security. While less than 1% of global hydrogen production comes from renewable energy sources today, renewable hydrogen is receiving increasing policy attention. A total of 25 countries, plus the European Commission, have announced plans that include hydrogen as a source of clean energy, and several have begun to introduce financial support schemes. As a result, project pipelines for using electrolysers to produce hydrogen from renewable electricity have swelled in recent years, with projects at various…

United States 2024
Energy Policy Review Government action plays a pivotal role in ensuring secure and sustainable energy transitions and combatting the climate crisis. Energy policy is critical not just for the energy sector but also for meeting environmental, economic and social goals. Governments need to respond to their country’s specific needs, adapt to regional contexts and help address global challenges. In this context, the International Energy Agency (IEA) conducts Energy Policy Reviews to support governments in developing more impactful energy and climate policies.This Energy Policy Review was prepared in partnership between the Government of the United States and the IEA…

India Gas Market Report
…IEA) comprehensive analysis of this evolving landscape. As India aims to transition towards a gas-based economy and reduce its dependence on oil imports, the report offers a detailed forecast and strategic insights through 2030. The analysis reveals an anticipated transformative shift in the natural gas landscape, driven by favourable global market conditions, expansion of gas pipeline infrastructure and improvements in domestic production. These factors are expected to support a strong increase in natural gas consumption. Strategic opportunities and policy interventions could further boost gas consumption beyond the forecasted trajectory by 2030. The report explores the potential for LNG use…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: United States 2002
Energy Policy Review Energy Policies of IEA Countries: United States 2002 The International Energy Agency's 2002 review of US energy policies and programmes. It finds that US energy policy has an influence on energy policy throughout the world. The 2001 National Energy Policy is an important development. The US is taking unilateral action as an alternative to the Kyoto Protocol. This report urges consideration of legislation on carbon dioxide and adoption of policies allowing international trading in emissions. Strengthening fuel economy standards is an encouraging approach to energy use in transport. Different standards for cars and light trucks should…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: The United States 2014 Review
Since the last IEA review of the United States was published in 2008, the country’s energy policy landscape has fundamentally changed. In many aspects there have been significant improvements, and the country is in a strong position to deliver a reliable, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy system. The most obvious change has been the renaissance of oil and gas production: the growth in unconventional gas production, alongside increased output of light tight oil, is making a substantial contribution to economic activity and competitiveness. Conversely, the expansion in energy production is also raising unease on environmental and safety grounds, concerns…

India Oil Market Report
…the policy settings of governments worldwide, but they are above those in the WEO-2023’s Announced Pledges Scenario, which maps out a pathway to meeting all countries’ national energy and climate goals such as India’s pledge to reach net zero emissions by 2070. The Report’s analysis highlights the important structural changes that are underway in India’s energy sector and the need for India, as in other countries, to accelerate the pace of change to get on track for national energy and climate goals and the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C.

Renewables 2020
…defy Covid to set new record Driven by China and the United States, net installed renewable capacity will grow by nearly 4% globally in 2020, reaching almost 200 GW. Higher additions of wind and hydropower are taking global renewable capacity additions to a new record this year, accounting for almost 90% of the increase in total power capacity worldwide. Solar PV growth is expected to remain stable as a faster expansion of utility-scale projects compensates for the decline in rooftop additions resulting from individuals and companies reprioritising investments. Wind and solar PV additions are set to jump by 30%…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: United States 2019 Review
The International Energy Agency (IEA) regularly conducts in-depth peer reviews of the energy policies of its member countries. This process supports energy policy development and encourages the exchange of international best practices and experiences. In the United States, the shale revolution continues to be a driving force for energy policy, shifting it from a mindset of energy scarcity to one of energy abundance. Innovations in oil and gas extraction through horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have vastly increased the importance of US production in the energy landscape, both at home and internationally. The timely siting of supporting infrastructure will…

Energy Policies of IEA Countries: United States 2007
Energy Policy Review Energy Policies of IEA Countries: United States 2007 The United States is the largest economy and energy user in the world. Significant developments have taken place in its energy policy since the last IEA review in 2002. Most important is the Energy Policy Act 2005 – a comprehensive energy legislation which has set new directions, including opening the way for a nuclear renaissance. Two closely connected challenges shape all debates on the nation’s energy policy path: how to increase security by reducing the dependence on imported supplies; and how to address growing emissions of greenhouse gases. The…
