Renewables 2025 Renewable transport
Renewable energy in transport is set to expand 50% to 2030 With greater use of renewable electricity, liquid biofuels, biogases and renewable hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels, renewable energy consumption in transport is expected to rise 50% by 2030. The largest share of this growth (45%) will come from renewable electricity used for electric vehicles, especially in China and Europe.Road biofuels contribute the second-largest share (35%), with significant growth in Brazil, Indonesia, India and Malaysia, supported by tightening mandates and rising fuel demand. Aviation and maritime fuel use makes up 10% of growth, primarily owing to mandates in…

Czechia 2025 Executive summary
…legislation now allows temporary operation of coal plants in case of shortages, and a capacity mechanism is being developed to attract investment in new dispatchable generation. Government interventions should be targeted and temporary, and low-carbon alternatives should be prioritised to avoid overreliance on natural gas, which would result in fossil fuel lock-in. To avoid this lock-in, Czechia is on course to further develop renewable and low-carbon gases, which can be potentially used in the same infrastructure as natural gas. In the first half of 2025, Czechia stopped importing oil from the Russian Federation for the first…

Global Energy and Climate Model Policies
…followed by more detailed policies by sector: power, industry, buildings and transport. Some regional policies have been included if they play a significant role in shaping energy at a global scale (e.g. regional carbon markets and standards in very large provinces or states). The tables do not include all policies and measures; rather they highlight the policies principally shaping global energy demand today, being derived from an exhaustive examination of announcements and plans in countries around the world. Industry-led initiatives and manufacturing targets that are partially or fully met in the IEA scenarios are the final element making…

Financing the ASEAN Power Grid
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has a long history of electricity system connectivity, and the development of the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) is central to achieving a sustainable, secure and affordable energy transition across the region. Delivering the APG will require a significant step‑change in investment over the coming 15 years, and unlocking financing from a diverse range of sources will be essential for this to happen. Yet financing approaches and business models have not evolved at the pace required to support an increasingly ambitious and complex pipeline of interconnector projects.This report examines how interconnectors are approached…

Energy Efficiency 2024 Executive summary
…including switching to EVs. The reduction in natural gas demand related to efficiency, which would be more than Europe’s total natural gas use in 2024, comes largely from measures such as insulating buildings and the electrification of heating.Accelerating energy efficiency improvements can deliver over a third of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reductions between now and 2030 in a pathway aligned with reaching net zero emissions by 2050. This involves speeding up electrification and improvements in technical efficiency. From 2010 to 2022, improvements in energy intensity contributed to a cumulative reduction in global CO₂ emissions of almost 7 gigatonnes…

Iceland
In 2007, the Icelandic government released a Climate Change Strategy conceived as a framework for action and government involvement in climate change issues, and setting forth a long-term goal of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 50 to 75% of 1990 levels by 2050.

Critical Mineral Traceability for Energy and Economic Security Executive summary
Risks to energy and economic security from high levels of concentration in critical mineral supply chains became a reality in 2025. All of the IEA’s six focus minerals – copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and rare earth elements – are set to see strong demand growth, driven by their central role in energy and strategic industrial applications. Yet diversification has lagged demand, with processing and refining remaining highly concentrated. Risks from concentration materialised in 2025 as new export controls threatened the supply of materials critical to strategic and economically important industries.Recent years have seen a proliferation of new policies and…

Global Methane Tracker 2026 Policy trends
…needs to be backed by specific policies, regulations, resources and implementation plans. Countries seeking to develop such frameworks can draw on existing support, including the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s regulatory roadmaps for cutting methane emissions in the oil and gas and coal sectors. Recent changes in methane policies and regulations Several countries introduced or strengthened mandatory policies and regulations targeting methane emissions in 2025:Canada amended federal regulations on emissions from upstream oil and gas facilities. The revised rules tighten standards for leak detection and repair (LDAR), strengthen the management of fugitive emissions, and prohibit venting except in narrowly…
