        Senegal

        In Senegal, 65% of the population has access to electricity. Strong policies and incentives have supported liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) use and less than 25% of the urban population now relies on solid biomass for cooking.

        Country and regional highlights
        Near zero-emission projects advance fastest in Europe, with some progress for low-emissions facilities globally
        CO2 emissions
        The CO2 emission intensity of steel has been relatively stable in recent years, but needs to drop significantly to align with the NZE Scenario
        Energy
        A reduction in reliance on coal and an increase in electricity use are required to get on track with the NZE Scenario

        Serbia

        In Serbia, the National Renewable Energy Action Plan set targets of renewable energy sources use until 2020, as well as the pathway to achieve them. Among other things, it enhances investments towards the development of renewables.
        Data for Serbia includes Montenegro until 2004.

        Congo

        In Congo, 3 out of 5 people do not have access to electricity. As a country with a very low population density, Congo faces particularly severe challenges in bringing energy of any kind to its rural communities.

        Cameroon

        Electrification rates are relatively high in Cameroon compared to the Central African region: 54% of the population has access to electricity, while consumption remains low. The country produced 70 kb/d of oil in 2013, but production is gradually declining.

        …integrated approach, connecting the utilisation of all renewable energy technologies. Policy makers should focus on implementing long-term plans for whole-economy decarbonisation and implement incentives reflecting the requirements of all economic sectors.  
        Shift policy to competitive auctions
        Policy instruments used to support renewable power include administratively set feed-in tariffs or premiums, renewable portfolio standards, quotas and tradeable green certificate schemes, net metering, tax rebates and capital grants. Recently, auctions for the centralised competitive procurement of renewables have become increasingly widespread and have been instrumental in discovering renewable energy prices and containing policy costs in many countries, especially…

        The Middle East and Global Energy Markets

        …attacks on energy infrastructure across the region have major implications for energy security and affordability – and for the world economy. The IEA's Executive Director has said the combined impacts amount to "the greatest threat to global energy security in history." The war in the region that began on 28 February has impeded energy trade flows through the Strait, creating the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. Global gas markets have also been affected, with about 20% of the world's supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) having moved through the Strait in 2025.On 11…

        Plan for compact urban development with improved public transport and infrastructure for micromobility and active travel
        More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. With urbanisation on the rise, urban governance should encompass transport strategies that can induce modal shift towards low-emission transport in order to get in step with the NZE Scenario. The resurgence in active modes of transport during and following the pandemic has provided governments with a policy window to improve and expand infrastructure (e.g. bicycle lanes and car-free zones) and make road re-allocation measures permanent. Transit-oriented development that…

        Country and regional highlights
        Major markets target greater deployment of storage additions through new funding and strengthened recommendations
        Technology deployment
        Pumped-storage hydropower is still the most widely deployed storage technology, but grid-scale batteries are catching up
        Innovation
        While innovation on lithium-ion batteries continues, further cost reductions depend on critical mineral prices
