World Energy Outlook 2019
…updates the outlooks for all fuels, technologies and regions, based on the latest market data, policy initiatives and cost trends. Introduction The energy world is marked by a series of deep disparities The gap between the promise of energy for all and the fact that almost one billion people still do not have access to electricity. The gap between the latest scientific evidence highlighting the need for evermore- rapid cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions and the data showing that energy-related emissions hit another historic high in 2018. The gap between expectations of fast, renewables-driven energy transitions and…

World Energy Employment 2024
The third edition of the World Energy Employment (WEE) report examines the global energy employment environment as the transition progresses into a period of uncertainty. The report offers a detailed overview of energy employment, including estimates of the workforce's size and distribution across different regions, sectors, and technologies. The dataset provides in-depth information on workers across the entire energy value chain, encompassing fossil fuel supply, bioenergy, nuclear energy, low-emissions hydrogen, power generation, transmission, distribution and storage. It also covers key energy-related end uses, such as vehicle manufacturing and energy efficiency in buildings and industry. The report…

Advancing Clean Energy Demonstration Projects
In the 2023 update to the Net Zero Roadmap, the IEA noted that while in the near term almost all emissions reductions can be delivered by technologies and measures that are already known and available, innovation will be needed through to 2050. About 35% of the CO2 emissions reductions needed in 2050 in a scenario consistent with the energy sector reaching net zero in the same year come from technologies that are still at the pre-commercial stage today. This includes technologies in emission-intensive sectors such as heavy industry and long-distant transport. While there has been progress in…

Clean Energy Technology Supply Chain Data
…an essential role to play. The availability of good-quality, timely data is crucial to gaining this understanding and to identifying and addressing supply chain vulnerabilities.This report is provided as an input to the discussions taking place as part of the Global Clean Power Alliance Supply Chains Mission – an initiative established by the Government of the United Kingdom to advance practical solutions to strengthen clean power supply chains. This report addresses the data component of this initiative and explores the challenges – and potential solutions – to the paucity of granular and timely data associated with clean energy technology supply chains.

Global Methane Tracker 2024
…30% of the rise in global temperatures since the Industrial Revolution, and rapid and sustained reductions in methane emissions are key to limiting near-term global warming and improving air quality. The energy sector – including oil, natural gas, coal and bioenergy – accounts for over a third of methane emissions from human activity. The IEA’s Global Methane Tracker is an indispensable tool in the fight to bring down emissions from across the energy sector.This year’s update provides our latest estimates of emissions from across the sector – drawing on the more recent data and readings from satellites and ground…

…has accelerated in recent years driven by policy support and continued cost declines. From 2019 to 2023, clean energy investment increased nearly 50%, reaching USD 1.8 trillion in 2023 and growing at around 10% per year across this period. The clean energy economy is a major industrial sector and an important contributor to the global economy. However, its benefits remain too concentrated with most of clean energy deployment occurring in China and advanced economies.The IEA regularly publishes comprehensive reports analysing recent progress in the development and deployment of clean energy technologies. These delve into the market dynamics, investment…

Graphite
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.
