Rare earth elements 2025
Outlook for key energy transition minerals This report provides an outlook for demand and supply for key energy minerals including copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and rare earth elements. Demand projections encompass both key energy technologies and other uses under different IEA Scenarios. Supply projections are based on a detailed review of all announced projects. They show how today's geographical concentration evolves over time, for both mining and refining and how expected supply compares with primary supply requirements.

Designing Energy Efficiency Policies to Enhance Affordability
…designing energy efficiency policies that support affordability, particularly in the buildings sector.As part of this work, the IEA conducted a survey with G7 governments to better understand the obstacles they face. On the consumer side, major challenges include the landlord-tenant split incentive, high upfront costs and administrative complexity. On the supply side, governments identified skills shortages and difficulties in reaching underserved communities.The report analyses the affordability-focused energy efficiency policies of G7 countries. These include targeted financial support, simplified programme design, strong local delivery models, and better integration with workforce development. Embedding affordability into energy efficiency policy…

Renewables for Industry
…with increasing deployment of renewable electricity supply, can deliver multiple benefits. In addition to reducing fossil fuel use and associated emissions, it can improve energy security by lowering exposure to volatile gas and oil prices and, when integrated with thermal storage, it can create demand flexibility that helps ensure a higher share of variable renewable generation.This report explores how to expand the role of renewables in the industrial energy mix through electrification of low-temperature heat and steam. It focuses on the European Union, China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), examining their techno-economic potential and…

Southeast Asia Indicators Handbook for Just and Inclusive Transitions
…The IEA Global Commission on People-Centred Clean Energy Transitions: Designing for Fairness - comprising government ministers and high-level representatives from international organisations, labour, Indigenous, youth and civil society groups – has been closely working with successive G20 presidencies to develop these concepts and help governments implement them. On 09 October 2025, during the official programme of the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting, the IEA Global Commission published an Indicators Handbook for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions which explores tracking and evaluation of these G20 Principles.This Southeast Asia Indicators Handbook draws on this previous work of the IEA Global Commission…
