Lithuania 2025 Executive summary
…in other European markets. While the NEIS is a crucial guide for the energy policy, it should be implemented in well-defined steps, prioritising actions with clear benefits and low risks.Electricity generation has nearly doubled in the last two years, driven by supportive policy for renewables, but the outlook is uncertain. Lithuania has introduced measures to improve permitting and subsidise investments in renewable electricity generation, which helped drive rapid growth. While this development is positive, the pace is not yet sufficient to meet its 2030 renewable electricity capacity targets of 4.5 gigawatts (GW) onshore wind, 1.4 GW offshore wind…

Coal Mid-Year Update 2025 Trade
…by strong demand and stable domestic production. In 2024, Indonesia’s thermal coal exports grew by 6%, reaching 549 Mt, largely driven by strong demand from China. Australia also recorded a modest increase, with exports rising by 3% to 209 Mt. Colombia’s thermal coal exports grew by 8%, reaching 59 Mt. In contrast, Russia’s thermal coal trade faced headwinds. Western sanctions, logistical disruptions, and declining profitability contributed to a significant decline in Russian thermal coal exports.Global trade in metallurgical coal reached an all-time high of 369 Mt in 2024, supported by strong demand from key steel…

India Bioenergy Market Report Executive summary
Bioenergy is particularly important for India’s rapidly growing energy market. It can strengthen energy security, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, create economic development and employment opportunities - especially in rural communities - and contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions. These benefits align closely with national energy and climate objectives, enabling India to leverage its domestic resources to support cleaner energy growth. India’s abundant agricultural residues and organic waste provide a strong resource base for modern bioenergy production.India’s ethanol industry has emerged as one of the country’s most successful policy-driven energy stories. Backed by a suite…

Coal 2025 Supply
…plateaus in 2025 as structural shifts emerge to 2030 In 2024, global coal production hit a record high of 9.1 billion tonnes, largely driven by increased output in China, India and Indonesia. China retained its position as the world’s leading coal producer, maintaining output at 4 666 Mt. Coal remains the primary energy source in both China and India, making domestic production a cornerstone of their energy security strategies. Following supply shortages in 2021, both countries have ramped up coal production for several years in a row.At 9 111 Mt, global coal production in 2025 is projected to remain at 2024’s level…

Gas Market Lessons from the 2022-2023 Energy Crisis Policy response to the crisis
As markets reeled from the drastic reduction in Russian pipeline gas supply to Europe and as global trade and demand patterns shifted, governments did not remain idle. Faced with the spectre of supply shortages, worsening current accounts, and inflation pressure linked to energy imports and rising energy prices for citizens and businesses alike, governments across the main LNG-importing regions rapidly implemented policy and market measures in response to the crisis. Europe The European Union and its member states adopted a number of measures to enhance security of supply and market resilience ahead of the 2022/23 heating season. However…

Breakthrough Agenda Report 2025 Hydrogen
…years.However, the increase in global production (which neared 100 Mt in 2024) has kept the global average emissions intensity of hydrogen production almost constant over the past 5 years. Costs Renewable and low-carbon hydrogen remains more expensive than hydrogen from unabated fossil fuels.The cost gap has increased recently due to slower-than-expected deployment, inflation and the fall in fossil fuel prices.Electrolyser capital cost is expected to decrease through scale-up, innovation and improved manufacturing, but cost declines will depend on the pace of deployment Deployment Renewable and low-carbon hydrogen reached 0.8 Mt in 2024, making…

Pledges to Progress 2025 Summary of results
…reflecting the group's decade-long focus and collaboration on emissions reduction. When considering the actual oil and gas production levels of the 116 assessed companies, we find that around half of global oil and gas production is covered by targets consistent with those stated in the OGDC, and around one-third of production comes from companies with at least some form (partial or full credit) of publicly reported strategies for implementing those targets and supporting disclosures and reporting. Signatories of the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter Companies that have joined the OGDC on average scored just over 12 out of…

Coal 2025 Trade
…decline in 2025 International coal trade grew by 3% in 2024, reaching a new record of 1 544 Mt. This growth was driven by increases in both thermal coal (up 26 Mt to 1 176 Mt) and met coal (up 21 Mt to 368 Mt). Coal trade accounted for approximately 18% of global coal demand, with thermal coal making up more than three-quarters of total traded volumes. Seaborne trade continued to dominate, representing over 90% of global coal trade in 2024.The Asia Pacific region further strengthened its dominance, accounting for 85% of global coal imports in 2024. China led global imports in 2024 with 548 Mt…

Financing Electricity Access in Africa Pathway to universal access
Mobilising the necessary investment Under the new Accelerating Clean Cooking and Electricity Services Scenario (ACCESS), investment of nearly USD 150 billion is needed to achieve universal electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa by 2035. This represents a six-fold increase in annual spending from today’s levels, facilitated by improvements to the regulatory environment, strengthened risk management by developers and risk-mitigation tools to support more private investment, and a more targeted use of concessional funds.Around 45% of households currently without access are connected via the grid under the ACCESS scenario, with financial support for households to reduce connection fees and…
