Energy and Water
…demand for desalination has nearly doubled since 2010, and current trends point to another doubling to 2030. Some 21,000 desalination plants currently operate in about 150 countries, from the United States and China to Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia – though half of global installed capacity is located in the Middle East and North Africa. Renewables can help ease the energy sector's water problem In a scenario in which global energy sector emissions reach net zero by 2050, water withdrawals by the energy sector decline by almost 20 bcm by 2030. The biggest reductions happen in the power…

Global Energy and Climate Model Macro drivers
…Demographic trends differ by country and region. Ageing populations and slowing fertility rates mean the size of the population in 2050 is expected to be smaller than today in the European Union, Russia, Japan and China. In contrast, the United Nations projects a billion more people in Africa by 2050, accounting for three-fifths of the global population increase, and around a further fifth is in the Asia Pacific region. India’s population has overtaken that of China since 2023 and is projected to reach almost 1.7 billion by 2050, some 410 million people more than in China. In the past…

World Energy Outlook 2022 Outlook for solid fuels
…APS and NZE Scenario, corresponding to around 30% of coal demand in the APS and more than 80% in the NZE Scenario in 2050. Unabated coal use drops by 99% between 2021 and 2050 in the NZE Scenario.Following the European Union ban on Russian imports, a short-lived increase in coal consumption in Europe is supplied from a variety of sources including South Africa and Colombia. The Asia Pacific region accounted for more than three-quarters of global coal imports in 2021 and this share is set to rise. Despite efforts to increase domestic production, India becomes the world…

…minimum expected equity internal rate of return (IRR).In 2025, the third year that we have run the survey, we continued to expand our coverage in terms of geographies and technologies. We focused on collecting data from the five key countries initially within the scope of the Observatory– Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and South Africa – but also conducted additional efforts to gather data on countries including Viet Nam, Senegal, Kenya, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, although the data points for these countries were comparatively fewer. We also widened the scope to include utility-scale batteries, offshore wind and hydroelectricity power…

Energy Efficiency 2024 How can energy efficiency alleviate rising heatwave-driven electricity demand?
…heat-related grid disruptions. In Europe, a heatwave hit the Balkan region in June, leading to major power cuts, and in July temperatures reached 43°C, resulting in record electricity demand in Serbia and Croatia. In sub-Saharan Africa, where AC ownership is low, prolonged droughts combined with severe heat events caused power system outages and rolling blackouts throughout 2024. Electricity demand in emerging economies continues growing at a record pace, fuelled by new air conditioner installations World electricity consumption is forecast to grow by 4% in 2024, with increased cooling demand in EMDEs a major driver. India’s electricity consumption…

COP28 Tripling Renewable Capacity Pledge 2025: Update Key Findings
…increased by 453 GW since the last IEA assessment. China’s upward ambition is the largest globally, rising by around 600 GW. In contrast, ambitions in the Americas are down by around 322 GW. The Middle East and North Africa saw the second-largest increase—and the highest in percentage terms—rising nearly 50% from last year. Europe and the Asia Pacific region (excluding China) show modest growth of about 3% each. Sub-Saharan Africa’s 2030 ambitions fell slightly, though trends vary across countries. Eurasia’s overall ambition grew by more than 20 GW (16%) compared with last year.

China’s Official Energy Finance in Emerging and Developing Economies Case 3. Saudi Arabia’s first green full-process heavy plate mill project
…production plant, will be located in Ras al-Khair Industrial City and is scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2026. With an annual capacity of up to 1.5 million tonnes, the plant will supply domestic industries and export to the wider Gulf and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.A key feature of the project is its low-carbon production route. The plant will use a natural gas-based direct reduced iron (DRI) furnace and an electric arc furnace (EAF), targeting up to 60% lower CO₂ emissions compared with the traditional blast furnace route. The DRI…
