Renewables 2025 Renewable transport
…projects in the European Union to meet 2030 ReFuelEU aviation targets. Renewable energy is expanding the quickest in the road sector Renewable energy demand for road transport is projected to rise more than 2 EJ, reaching 8% of total road subsector energy use by 2030. Renewable electricity consumption for electric vehicles accounts for more than half of this growth, concentrated mainly in China and Europe as renewable electricity generation increases and electric vehicle fleets expand.Liquid biofuels make up most of the remainder, with biofuel demand growth concentrated in Brazil (40%), Indonesia (20%), India (15%), Europe (10%) and Canada (7%…

Renewables 2025 Renewable heat
…in 2024 Annual heat consumption expanded by 6% globally over 2018-2024. Renewable energy, excluding traditional uses of biomass, met only half of this increase, with its share in global heat consumption rising to 14% in 2024. Nearly 80% of global growth in renewable heat use was in the form of bioenergy (especially in industry) and renewable electricity (mainly in buildings).Industry sector renewable heat use grew the most in China over the last six years, driven by the expansion of industries such as metals, chemicals, textiles, food and beverages that increasingly use biomass residue and electricity for process heat…

Breakthrough Agenda Report 2025 Road transport
…by trucks (about one-third), and buses and 2/3 wheelers just 7%.Since 2015, emissions in emerging economies (excluding China) have risen sharply, at over 18%, compared to 2.5% in the rest of the world. Cost Closing the purchase price gap between electric and conventional cars is essential for mass adoption. Declining battery costs and growing market competition are driving improvements in affordability.Electric car affordability improved across all major markets between 2021 and 2024. In China, around two-thirds of electric cars were cheaper than their conventional counterparts in 2024. Deployment Electric car sales surpassed 17 million…

World Energy Outlook 2025 Current Policies Scenario
…further 40 million km to 2050. Annual global energy-related CO2 emissions rise slightly from current levels and approach 40 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide per year in the early 2030s, remaining around this level through to 2050. Emissions fall in aggregate in advanced economies, most substantially in Europe, and decline in China from 2030 onwards, but they increase elsewhere. Total greenhouse gas emissions lead to a global average surface temperature rise of around 2 °C in 2050 and 2.9 °C in 2100. Oil and gas demand do not peak Several regions see a slowdown in energy intensity reductions and renewable energy growth Established produ...

World Energy Outlook 2025 Implications of CPS and STEPS
…not take long for supply to tighten – especially with higher oil demand in the CPS. Around 20 million barrels per day (mb/d) of new supply from yet-to-be approved projects come through in the STEPS by 2035 to ensure a balance between supply and demand, and around 25 mb/d in the CPS. Emerging market and developing economies in Asia, including China, are the destination for nearly 60% of the oil and gas exported globally in 2035 in both scenarios, up from 45% today. The total fossil fuel import bill for these countries rises by 40% in the CPS over…

What Next for the Global Car Industry Executive summary
…The extent and pace by which cars electrify, however, is what will affect future car manufacturing as well as the energy sector the most, and explains the focus of this report. ICE sales will not fade quickly – car manufacturers must navigate transitions that move at different speeds Even as ICE car sales are set to continue declining in China and advanced economies in aggregate over the coming years, they are likely to rise in other regions. Different regional technology mixes pose challenges for the global industry. Today, Japanese carmakers supply two-thirds of cars sold in Southeast Asia and over…

What Next for the Global Car Industry The global car industry in context
…undergoing potentially transformative changes. Car sales reached a high point in 2017 and have bounced back from a pandemic-related drop due to sales of electric and hybrid cars; sales of conventional cars have continued to fall. Growth has shifted to emerging economies including China since the turn of the century, with around half of all sales now in these regions. Global car production has grown unevenly since the pandemic. China’s car output reached a record 27 million in 2024, 30% higher than in 2019, while India’s output grew 30% to almost 5 million cars. US production approached…

Energy Efficiency 2025 Executive summary
…Global energy efficiency progress is set to improve by 1.8% in 2025, up from around 1% in 2024. Preliminary estimates indicate that several key regions are showing some signs of stronger progress compared to their average since 2019. For example, energy intensity progress in 2025 is estimated to be over 3% in the People’s Republic of China (hereafter “China”) and over 4% in India, well above their averages in the years since 2019. In the United States and the European Union (EU), on the other hand, progress in 2025 is set to fall to under 1% after several…

Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit Financing Energy Efficiency
…industry, and transport is therefore critical to maximising the benefits of the global energy transition.Investment patterns, however, remain uneven. China, the United States, and the European Union continue to attract the bulk of clean‑energy capital, while many emerging and developing economies face persistent barriers, including higher financing costs and limited access to affordable capital. As a result, efficiency investment in these economies is growing far more slowly than in advanced economies and China. The IEA stresses the need to mobilise more finance, reduce investment risks, and expand suitable financing instruments to support the deployment of energy‑efficient technologies and infrastructure…
