Interactive map of global biogas and biomethane potential
This map provides a first-of-a-kind analysis of the sustainable technical potential of biogas and biomethane supply globally. This assessment considers more than 30 types of feedstocks. They can be broadly grouped together as crop residues, animal manure, biowaste and woody biomass. Only feedstocks that can be used without direct competition with food production or animal feed, and that avoid adverse sustainability impacts, are included.

Delivering Sustainable Fuels
…to 2035 Sustainable fuels – including liquid biofuels, biogases, low-emissions hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels – offer multiple benefits for the energy sector. They complement electrification and energy efficiency in energy transitions, and are particularly important for sectors that continue to be reliant on fuel-based solutions such as aviation, shipping, and parts of road transport and industry. Sustainable fuels can also enhance energy security, strengthen environmental sustainability and stimulate economic development, particularly in rural areas.If fully legislated and implemented, current and proposed national and international policies would put the use of sustainable liquid and gaseous fuels on a path…

Renewables in District Energy
This report examines how renewables can play a larger role in district energy systems, helping to deliver cleaner, more secure and more efficient heating and cooling. District energy networks already supply heat to around 600 million people worldwide, but many systems remain heavily dependent on fossil fuels, exposing consumers and utilities to price volatility, supply risks and high emissions.The report provides a global overview of district energy systems, their fuel mixes, market conditions, governance models and affordability implications. It explores the growing opportunities offered by renewable and recovered heat sources, including bioenergy, geothermal, solar thermal, waste heat, large-scale heat…

Emission reductions
…such as through low-emission zones or a modal shift to public transport, can improve ambient air quality. Given that many air pollutants have a localised effect, disadvantaged communities are often disproportionally affected by the environmental risks of low air quality and thus benefit the most from improvements. Urban air quality policies can therefore not only reduce air pollution but also reduce inequality. In households that lack access to clean cooking, air pollution is linked to around 3.7 million premature deaths a year. Replacing open fires and inefficient stoves with cleaner, more modern stoves and fuels reduces household air pollution…
