Lithuania 2025 Executive summary
…will be used for hydrogen production. However, hydrogen market development has been slower than expected, both in Lithuania and 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…

Key Questions on Energy and AI Executive summary
…the energy efficiency of AI is improving at a rate unprecedented in energy history. Software and hardware advances have resulted in the energy use per AI task dropping by at least an order of magnitude annually in recent years. Simple text queries now typically consume less electricity than running a television over the same period of time. If all conventional internet searches were performed with simple AI text queries, it would consume less than 4 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually, equivalent to less than 1% of total data centre consumption today.However, new energy-intensive AI applications are increasingly…

Energy Technology Perspectives 2026 Executive summary
…still at low levels of market penetration, such as sustainable aviation fuels and other hydrogen-based fuels, would require stronger policy support.The market outlook for low- and near-zero emissions materials is very uncertain as production cost premiums remain high. Technologies like cement kilns fitted with carbon capture, and steel furnaces using electrolytic hydrogen, are expected to cost significantly more than their conventional counterparts over the next decade in most regions. The outlook for near-zero emissions materials is therefore highly dependent on policy support: the market value for near-zero emissions steel, cement, aluminium and ammonia reaches U.…

Electrification of road transport goes beyond cars and the ambition is growing
Globally, almost 50 000 electric buses were sold in 2023, equating to 3% of total bus sales and bringing the global stock to approximately 635 000 in total. Several European countries (such as Belgium, Norway and Switzerland) and China achieved sales shares above 50% in 2023, and more than one-fifth of bus sales were electric in Canada, Chile, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Sweden.
Sales of electric trucks increased 35% in 2023 compared to 2022, meaning that total sales of electric trucks surpassed electric buses for…

Luxembourg
Luxembourg has a fossil fuel intensive energy mix driven by a high demand for transportation fuels, notably from transiting freight trucks and commuters. Despite this demand, the country is committed to reducing emissions. Its climate law sets targets for a 55% emission reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality target by 2050. The government has adopted numerous measures to push for energy transition, including a carbon tax which was introduced in 2020 and encouraging renewable generation through subsidies and auctions. Several programmes also support energy efficiency in buildings, industry and transportation, with a target for 49% of all passenger cars to…

Slovak Republic
…objectives of the Slovak energy policy agenda are: increasing efficiency in the power and end‐use sectors, reducing energy intensity, reducing dependence on energy imports, expanding the use of nuclear power, increasing the share of renewables in the heat and electricity sectors, and supporting the use of alternative fuels for transport. With these sound objectives in place, the government should now focus on the cost‐effective implementation of concrete actions. Mining of coal for electricity production ended in 2023 and an additional nuclear unit was commissioned. The country remains dependent on energy imports from Russia, making energy security a strong…

…carbon capture and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen. The government has a robust energy and climate governance under the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities and ‘the year wheel’ of Climate Act of 2020 ensures annual policy actions and funding. Among IEA countries, Denmark has the highest share of wind electricity, which together with bioenergy and solar photovoltaic make up over 80% of the electricity mix. The district heating sector has practically phased out coal, contributing to lower reliance on fossil fuels in Denmark’s total energy supply than IEA average. Denmark is committed to end fossil fuel production by…
