Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2024
…and delivered 42 training events to almost 1 200 policy professionals. In Africa, the IEA helped secure USD 2.2 billion in funding through a landmark summit on access to clean cooking, while in Asia and Latin America, it helped countries such as Indonesia and Brazil to advance clean energy policies. In addition to supporting countries at the national level, the CETP contributed to global platforms such as the Conference of the Parties (COP) and the Group of 20 (G20), ensuring that clean energy goals are integrated into international dialogues. The impact of the CETP extends to critical areas like energy efficiency…

…mental health, thermal comfort, and safety: Mental healthStudies show that thermal discomfort and fuel poverty have negative mental health impacts – such as anxiety, stress and depression – and that efficiency improvements can improve this. The impact on mental health may be enhanced if combined with financial support mechanisms and strong community engagement.Thermal comfortRetrofits that include installing insulation are shown to enable occupants to raise indoor air temperatures to comfortable levels. SafetyEfficient public lighting can enhance safety perceptions. For instance, efficient streetlighting projects in Brazil and India reduced energy costs by up to 80%, improved visibility and perception of safer street...

Delivering Sustainable Fuels
…fuels, innovation to expand production potential, robust and mutually agreed carbon accounting methodologies to ensure that sustainability criteria are met, long-term investment in infrastructure, and more accessible financing, especially in emerging and developing economies.This report was prepared in support of Brazil’s COP30 Presidency and its Climate Action Agenda. It presents a sectoral analysis of global pathways for accelerating the deployment of sustainable liquid and gaseous fuels to 2035. It also summarises cumulative policy experience to date, identifies key technology and infrastructure requirements for scaling up deployment, and highlights resulting benefits that extend well beyond emissions reductions. Finally…

Oil Market Report - October 2025
…by the Middle East. World oil supply is on track to rise by 3 mb/d to 106.1 mb/d this year and 2.4 mb/d next year. Non-OPEC+ adds 1.6 mb/d and 1.2 mb/d, respectively, led by the US, Brazil, Canada, Guyana and Argentina. OPEC+ adds 1.4 mb/d in 2025 and 1.2 mb/d next year based on the current production agreement.Global crude runs will reach a seasonal low of 81.6 mb/d in October, nearly 4 mb/d below July’s record level, as maintenance and…

Oil Market Report - April 2026
…East and ongoing restrictions to tanker movements through the Strait of Hormuz leading to the largest disruption in history. OPEC+ production fell 9.4 mb/d m-o-m to 42.4 mb/d while non-OPEC+ supply declined 770 kb/d m-o-m to 54.7 mb/d, as lower Qatari output offset gains in Brazil and the United States.Global crude throughputs continue to struggle with disruptions to feedstock supplies and infrastructure damage that are tightening global product markets. In April, Middle East and feedstock-constrained refineries in Asia have cut runs by around 6 mb/d…

Renewables 2022 Transport biofuels
…entirely in emerging economies aiming to reduce oil imports while also maximising the use of indigenous resources to benefit the local economy. Plus, biofuel use helps reduce GHG emissions in these countries. The United States, Canada, Brazil, Indonesia and India make up 80% of global expansion in biofuel use, as all five countries have comprehensive policy packages that support growth. In Brazil, Indonesia and India, rising gasoline and diesel use also accelerates demand for biofuels, while in the United States and Canada declining gasoline and diesel demand slow biofuel growth and even reduce the use of some fuels. In Europe…

Energy Efficiency 2024 How can energy efficiency alleviate rising heatwave-driven electricity demand?
…during 2024. Ensuring that cooling needs are met is of primary importance. The extreme temperatures are driving strong demand for much-needed cooling technologies such as air conditioners. However, these are also pushing up electricity use to record levels and straining power grids around the world. In 2024, more than 40 countries representing nearly 70% of global electricity demand, including Brazil, China, India, Mexico and the United States, reached new power peak demand records during heatwaves, while many others suffered major power outages and rolling blackouts. Electricity grids in countries with high AC ownership and hot climates are particularly impacted. Nearly…

Global Methane Tracker 2026 Regional insights
…Global Methane Pledge, except for Venezuela. Colombia is the only country with an explicit strategy for reducing methane emissions as well as regulations to limit emissions from oil and gas operations. These include explicit technology standards and restrictions on flaring and venting, as well as a requirement for biannual leak detection and repair (LDAR). Brazil is developing regulations to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector, expected by 2026. In its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Chile has set a target to reduce methane emissions by 10% by 2035, relative to an expected peak in 2025. At the…
