Global Hydrogen Review 2026 Policy
…funding is linked to legislation in force and almost 25% has already been disbursed to projects, triggering final investment decisions (FID). As in GHR-25, most of the funding comes from advanced economies and for every dollar going to demand, about 1.5 dollars go to supply.The number of national hydrogen strategies has stabilised at 66 globally, and recent updates have focused either on implementing strategy actions (Brazil, Mauritania, Romania) or revising targets downwards (Chile and the Netherlands). Yet most countries remain behind their targets, even when considering projects with strong potential to come online by 2030. Only two countries…

Global Methane Tracker 2025 Regional insights
…from oil and gas facilities in Venezuela. Oil and gas facilities are the main sources of methane emissions in Venezuela, Argentina and Brazil, and coal mines are the largest source in Colombia.The upstream methane emissions intensity of oil and gas operations in Venezuela is six times the global average, and its flaring intensity is ten times the global average. Operations in Argentina and Ecuador are around twice the global average, while Brazil and Colombia perform slightly below the global average. Little measurement data is available across countries in Central and South America, with large parts of its oil and…

World Energy Investment 2025 Latin America and the Caribbean
…Chile, Colombia and Costa Rica accounted for the largest increase, given the doubling of renewable investment flowing into the three countries. Brazil played a significant role in building momentum behind clean energy investment, thanks to the county’s enabling environment for investment in small-scale solar PV and bioenergy, further accelerated by the enactment of the Future Fuel Law in 2024. Over the same period, fossil fuel investment decreased by more than 20%, to more than USD 90 billion a year, with Brazil, Argentina and Mexico accounting for almost 70% of the total. However, the region experienced shortages and blackouts due to…

Renewables 2025 Renewable transport
…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 Europe, and the remaining 10% comes from biomethane…

Indicators Handbook for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions Introduction
…economic benefits (e.g. new decent jobs, reduced energy poverty and improved air quality). Tracking these benefits can help highlight and communicate the positive effects of clean energy transitions across different population groups. This year, the South African G20 Presidency and Brazilian COP30 Presidency have prioritised just and inclusive energy transitions and this Indicators Handbook has been developed to support and promote these efforts.The Indicators Handbook is based on the voluntary G20 Principles for Just and Inclusive Transitions, endorsed by G20 leaders in November 2024. The principles, which reflect varying perspectives, contexts and experiences, form a framework for approaching…

Brazil's National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) R&D and innovation guidelines
The latest updates to the CNPE's innovation guidelines emphasise the need to prioritise R&D in strategic areas such as hydrogen, biofuels, energy storage and digital transformation (2021), as well as the allocation of resources by Brazilian electricity and oil and gas regulators, adding carbon capture and storage (CCS), reduction of fugitive methane emissions, energy efficiency, biogas from waste and wind energy as new priorities (2025)
