Energy and AI Executive summary
The transformative potential of AI depends on energy There has been a step change in the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), driven by falling computation costs, a surge in data availability and technical breakthroughs. AI is the science of making machines capable of learning to perform tasks that traditionally required human intelligence. AI is emerging as a general-purpose technology, much like electricity. Today, it can generate text and videos, accelerate scientific discovery in fields like medicine or materials science, make manufacturing robots smarter and more productive, drive commercial taxis in complex city landscapes, and detect threats to critical infrastructure…

Poland
Poland’s energy system has seen progress on energy transition, despite its reliance on domestic hard coal and lignite. For example, Poland has one of the fastest growing solar PV markets in the European Union and has also seen a strong uptake of heat pumps. Poland is pushing to become a major player in offshore wind, aiming for at least 3.4 GW of capacity by 2030. However, stronger efforts are needed across all sectors to accelerate energy transition and Poland would benefit from greater electricity interconnections with the rest of Europe.

Ramping up Heat Pumps in Moldova: A Roadmap Building the market
…and potential noise issues. Awareness campaigns should also target installers, since they are often consumers’ primary point of contact and play a crucial role in providing accurate information. Increasing consumer knowledge to expand the adoption of heat pumps Good communication is key for promoting heat pumps because it helps improve consumer knowledge and trust in the technology. Efforts to boost consumer awareness can be led by the government or be driven by industry and consumers themselves. Sweden’s growth as a heat pump market can be attributed in large part to its efforts to fund research, provide subsidies and loans…

Georgia
…across Georgian territory. Efforts are required to improve energy efficiency and capitalise on the country’s renewable energy potential.
Georgia has made solid progress in the past decade, both in improving the security of its energy supply and in transitioning to a cleaner, more sustainable energy system. Although Georgia is still confronted with many challenges in its transition to a more secure, sustainable and affordable energy future, the government recognises most of them and is considering various measures to address them. Georgia is part of the EU4Energy Programme, an initiative focused on evidence-based policy making for the energy sector.- Overview

Scaling Up Transition Finance What is transition finance?
…covered. Over the next decade, the amount of investment that can be supported by transition finance is approximately USD 5 trillion of cumulative investment in the Announced Policies Scenario (APS) and approximately USD 4 trillion in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario, or USD 400-500 billion per year. Over half of those investments would be in EMDE, spanning energy efficiency, selected low-emissions technology across different end-use sectors, and some investments in natural gas infrastructure, gas-fired power, critical minerals, and other areas.The core of transition finance lies in its dynamic nature, shaped by the diversity of national energy pathways, the…

Gas Market Report, Q2-2025
…to ensure reliable gas supplies. This will be among the topics addressed at the international Summit on the Future of Energy Security, convened by the IEA, in partnership with the UK Government, on 24-25 April 2025. Beyond the growing complexity of gas supply security both in the short and long term, the decarbonisation of gas and the broader energy system will require the deployment and scaling up of low-emissions gases. Part of the IEA’s Low-Emissions Gases Work Programme, this quarterly Gas Market Report includes a special section on the nascent trade in low-emissions gases.

Energy Technology Perspectives 2026 Executive summary
…the global crude oil market in 2025. At almost USD 3 trillion by 2035, their market value is higher in the Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS), with greater deployment offsetting the additional decline in costs. Electric cars are by far the largest clean energy technology market in 2035, accounting for around three-quarters of the total market value in all scenarios.There are many growth opportunities for low-emissions fuels, especially those that can be directly used in existing infrastructure. In several segments – notably cars – low-emissions fuels are not only competing with fossil fuels, but increasingly with the rising use…

Hungary
Hungary was among the first countries globally, in June 2020, to make a legal commitment to become carbon neutral by 2050 and plans to phase out coal by 2030 at the latest. Enhanced energy efficiency, increased renewable and nuclear electricity and electrification of end-use sectors are identified as the key drivers towards the 2050 target. Hungary plans to build two new nuclear unit and while solar PV has grown notably, wind lacks behind its potential but the change in siting limits for wind turbines are likely to have a positive impact on the sector.

Gaining an Edge Summary for policymakers
Energy efficiency delivers more than energy savings and emission reductions – it can also improve the competitiveness of countries and firms. From increased profitability to job creation, energy efficiency helps firms compete amid high costs, growing demand, and rising trade pressures. In today’s global context, energy efficiency is not only a matter of energy policy, but also of economic policy.Today the world’s industries can produce nearly 20% more value for a given amount of energy than they could two decades ago. This progress has yielded significant benefits at the country level. G20 countries have doubled their economic output…
