Hydroelectricity
…total.
More than 150 gigawatts (GW) of new hydro capacity is set to come online by the end of the decade, mostly in emerging and developing economies. As a result, electricity generation from hydropower is expected to increase by 7% between 2025 and 2030. However, its share in global electricity generation is poised to decrease slightly by 2030 as other energy sources, including solar PV and wind, see faster growth.
Annual capacity additions of pumped-storage hydropower are forecast to double by 2030. Pumped-storage hydro plants can provide both flexibility and storage, boosting energy security as electricity systems evolve.

…setting. These moves include creating a well-functioning domestic market for gas and greater transparency. A spot market for local gas use is being created, including secondary markets for gas consumers, and third party access to facilities such as gas storage is under development. These moves put Singapore ahead of most countries in the Asia-Pacific region and in a good position for a hub-style market to develop.
Singapore’s energy policies have also set strong objectives to 2030, including improving the country’s energy efficiency by 36% from 2005 level. Among other measures in support of this target…- Overview

Czechia 2025
Energy Policy Review Government action plays a pivotal role in ensuring secure and sustainable energy transitions. Energy policy is critical not just for the energy sector but also for meeting environmental, economic and social goals. Governments need to respond to their country’s specific needs, adapt to regional contexts and help address global challenges. In this context, the International Energy Agency (IEA) conducts Energy Policy Reviews to support governments in developing more impactful energy and climate policies.This Energy Policy Review was prepared in partnership between the Government of Czechia and the IEA. It draws on the IEA’s extensive…

The energy crisis creates even stronger impetus for EU electrification
…costs, and baseline energy prices. Countries with higher heating requirements and higher vehicle mileages see electrical technologies become competitive at higher price ratios, because the upfront costs of electrical technologies are offset by their lower operating costs if they have higher utilisation rates. Electric vehicles and high-temperature industrial heat need lower price ratios (usually between 1 and 2) to become cost-competitive compared with buildings and low-temperature industrial heat (usually between 2 and 3.5).Achieving cost parity alone is insufficient to drive uptake of electrical technologies. High upfront costs discourage investment in electrification across all sectors. Buildings…

Global Methane Tracker 2025 Key findings
Energy-related methane emissions have still not reached a definitive peak The fossil fuel sector is responsible for nearly one-third of methane emissions from human activity today. Record production of oil, gas and coal, combined with limited mitigation efforts, has kept emissions above 120 million tonnes (Mt) annually. Abandoned wells and mines – included in this year’s Global Methane Tracker for the first time – contributed around 8 Mt to these emissions in 2024. Bioenergy production and consumption results in a further 20 Mt of methane, largely from the incomplete combustion of traditional biomass used in cooking and heating in developing economies…

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage Cluster Sequencing Process - Track 2
…selection of the clusters, while Phase-2 was the application of specific projects within those clusters. Combined storage capacity of 18 Mtpa
Acorn captures industrial CO2 emissions from assets around the St Fergus Terminal, expected to use 175 miles of repurposed pipelines and store at least 5 Mtpa. Viking will capture CO2 from industrial assets in the Humber region and plans to capture 10 Mtpa by 2030 and 15 Mtpa by 2035. FID for Viking is planned for 2025
In June 2025 development funding of GBP 200 million provided to both projects subject to business case. As the project develops… -
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage Cluster Sequencing Process - Track 1
UK has the target of selecting 4 CCUS clusters for development by 2030. In November 2021, two clusters were selected under Track-1: HyNet and East Coast. Phase-1 was the selection of the clusters, while Phase-2 was the application of specific projects within those clusters. The shortlist of projects (Phase 2) was published in August 2022 with the final selection in March 2023 (3 in the East Coast Cluster and 5 in the HyNet Cluster)
In October 2024, the government announced up to GBP 21.7 billion of funding over 25 years for the two Track-1 clusters… -
Energy crisis threatens world’s most vulnerable as cooking fuel shortages grow
The Energy Crisis hits the Homefront: A growing shortage of cooking fuels The Middle East crisis has highlighted the energy security risks for a fundamental need: the ability to cook a meal The conflict in the Middle East has triggered a global energy crisis of unprecedented magnitude. The daily volumes of oil lost to global markets in March 2026 surpassed the peak supply losses of the two major oil shocks of the 1970s combined.Previous energy crises affected economies and societies in profound ways, often forcing households to ration fuel for their cars and heating for their homes. The 2026…

Horizon 2020 funding for carbon capture, utilisation and storage
…to enable both Europe’s cement and lime industries to reduce their emissions dramatically and cost-effectively. LEILAC is based on an innovative carbon capture and storage technology that enables capture of the process emissions in cement production. The EUR 21 million (USD 23 million) project has received EUR 12 million (USD 13 million) via the H2020 programme.
STRATEGY CCUS, a three year programme (2019-2022), which supports the development of low-carbon energy and industry in the Southern and Eastern regions of Europe. The programme aims to identify potential CO2 transport corridors in relation to industry clusters that can…
