Ramping up Heat Pumps in Moldova: A Roadmap Executive summary
…of Moldova’s solar and wind capacity also means that heat pumps can now play a greater role in cutting greenhouse gas emissions and lowering local air pollution. Finally, Moldovan’s 2024 referendum, endorsing the goal of European Union membership, underscores the country’s commitment to European integration. Outlining an effective path to decarbonise energy use is a prerequisite for joining the bloc and heat pumps can play a central role in this. Overcoming barriers to heat pump adoption Moldova faces several notable barriers to heat pump adoption – many of which mirror challenges seen in countries with more mature markets…

Gaining an Edge Unlocking the potential of energy efficiency
Efficiency opportunities at the firm level At the firm level, energy efficiency offers untapped opportunities to reduce costs in both light and heavy industries In a competitive environment, firms are seeking to reduce costs, support sustainable growth and meet dynamic market demands. Energy is an important component of production costs in many industrial sectors, although its share varies by industry. These differences are influenced by the type and complexity of production. Heavy industries, such as steel, cement and chemicals, tend to be more energy intensive due to the large-scale processes and high thermal demands. Light industries, such as electronics…

Energy Efficiency 2025 Transport
…infrastructure support including charging and battery swapping stations, tax exemptions and financial support can accelerate their deployment.For heavy-duty trucks, fuel economy standards play a key role. Countries where standards are already in place can increase their stringency to scale up progress. Others can start by setting standards now to avoid inefficient vehicles entering the market and to accelerate the shift to electric models are fleets are renewed. Notes: Bubble sizes give an indication of the relevance of each measure within the country grouping (classified as high, moderate, low and very low). The classification is based on multiple factor...

Global Energy and Climate Model Accelerating Clean Cooking and Electricity Services Scenario (ACCESS)
Even as global energy demand continues to rise, billions of people in around 100 countries remain without access to basic modern energy services. Today nearly 2 billion people lack access to clean cooking and 730 million people lack access to electricity. Millions of households, businesses and public institutions such as clinics and schools operate without reliable modern energy. This limits productivity and hinders socioeconomic development. It also perpetuates the use of traditional biomass, with damaging consequences for health and the environment.The Accelerating Clean Cooking and Electricity Services Scenario (ACCESS) charts a path to achieve universal access to clean cooking and electricity based…

Breakthrough Agenda Report 2025 Cement and concrete
State of the transition Emissions Total CO2 emissions are higher today than in 2015. Reductions in recent years have come from declines in global production, while direct CO2 emissions intensity remains unchanged.Both need to fall in the coming years to get on track for net zero by 2050, with contributions from improved material efficiency, greater use of alternative fuels and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), and CCS. Cost Production costs for early commercial plants for near-zero emissions cement using CCS are estimated to be 75-150% higher than today’s conventional plants, varying by region.This cost premium will…

Global Energy Review 2026 Technology: Battery storage
…In 2025, 108 GW of new battery storage capacity was deployed worldwide, 40% more than in 2024. Installed capacity is now eleven times higher than in 2021. Lithium‑iron phosphate (LFP) batteries now account for around 90% of deployments; while less energy‑dense than rival chemistries commonly used in EVs, LFP batteries are typically cheaper and better suited to more frequent cycling. Just five years ago, the market share of LFP batteries in deployments was well below 50%. Around 80% of new battery capacity in 2025 was utility‑scale. The remainder was behind-the-meter capacity installed by commercial and residential consumers. Battery…

Scaling Up Transition Finance Executive Summary
…transition finance could be mobilised over the next decade—equivalent to USD 4-5 trillion cumulatively. This is comparable in scale to the current global green bond market.With its focus on sectors where emissions are hard-to-abate and on emerging market and developing economies (EMDE), transition finance can play a vital, complementary role to green finance. The central challenge is to ensure that it drives ambitious and credible change, while reflecting diverse national and regional circumstances. This IEA report does not attempt to resolve every complexity but instead maps the landscape for transition finance, explains why it matters…
