Sheltering From Oil Shocks Road transport fuels
…while in emerging markets and developing economies, this figure is closer to one-fifth. Working from home affects oil consumption differently across regions, depending on commute distance, car occupancy and average fuel consumption of the car. In most countries the impact is felt mainly on gasoline demand; however, in countries and regions such as Korea, India, and Europe, diesel use is also affected. The effects of working from home also vary by season, largely because of how air conditioning is used in cars. As a result, remote work helps conserve more oil during the warmer months.Impact: Commuting accounts for…

Pledges to Progress 2025 Executive summary
…s leading oil and gas companies launched the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), laying out a series of ambitions to achieve net zero operational emissions by 2050. As global methane and flaring emissions continue to rise, these ambitions are more important than ever to reduce energy waste and mitigate the harmful consequences of climate change.To support accountability and transparency, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) and the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) set out a framework of 25 metrics to assess and track the efforts reported by the oil and…

Pledges to Progress 2025 Summary of results
…down.Companies may opt not to report some of their emissions reduction activities for several reasons, including confidentiality, protection of competitively sensitive information, legal or regulatory restrictions, capacity issues and cultural norms. Further co-operation between government and industry stakeholders is needed to shift the paradigm in transparency.The average score across all assessed companies was 9 points out of a full score potential of 25. Of the 116 assessed companies, 11 companies did not disclose any information about emissions reduction targets and plans or any emissions data and therefore received a score of zero. The 35 assessed national oil companies (NOCs) on average…

World Energy Outlook 2025 Stated Policies Scenario
…India and other emerging market and developing economies leading demand growth. It increases more slowly than in the past decade as efficiency gains accelerate to 2.2% per year, driven by the increasing electrification of end-uses. Oil demand peaks at 102 million barrels per day (mb/d) around 2030 before gradually declining. Global electric car sales share rises from over 20% today to over 50% by 2035, despite lower electric vehicle (EV) sales in the United States in this Outlook. In 2035, over 840 million EVs displace 10 mb/d of oil, mainly in Asia and Europe. Oil use for petrochemicals…

Global Methane Tracker 2025 Accelerating industry action
…flagship oil and gas reporting and mitigation initiative of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Since 2023, around 20 new companies joined OGMP 2.0, bringing coverage to just over 40% of global oil and gas production.OGCI’s Aiming for Zero Methane Emissions Initiative aims to eliminate all methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by 2030. OGCI also facilitates peer-to-peer learning through its role as the secretariat of the OGDC, which includes knowledge-sharing and collaboration programmes to disseminate solutions. With the recent inclusion of PetroChina, the OGDC’s membership now accounts for around 40% of global oil…

Global Hydrogen Review 2026 Trade and infrastructure
Trade remains a key driver of low-emissions hydrogen projects, and would underpin over 40% of announced volumes by 2030 if all projects materialise. Less than 8% of this, around 1 Mtpa H₂-eq (hydrogen equivalent), comes from projects that are operational, in construction, or have committed investments, compared with around 16% across the overall project pipeline.First shipments of low-emissions hydrogen are taking place, enabling trials of logistics and certification approaches. Long-term bilateral contracts dominate, particularly for ammonia and ammonia-derived fertilisers, while hot briquetted iron (HBI) is gaining prominence.Announced hydrogen pipeline projects, including new and repurposed natural…

Gas Market Lessons from the 2022-2023 Energy Crisis Policy response to the crisis
…the continent’s resilience in managing the 2022-2023 gas supply shock, providing predictability in market functioning, as well as a structure on which to implement further policy tools. Furthermore, the EU regulation setting up a system of crisis management and information exchange around security of gas supply as early as 2017 meant that dedicated communication channels were largely operational by the start of the 2022-2023 crisis.Most crisis-driven intervention, regulation and policies reinforced foundational strengths of the EU gas market, protecting ease of market access, barrier-free trading and gas-on-gas competition through diversification of supply…

Global Methane Tracker 2025 Key findings
…nearly 3 million barrels per day of oil and 130 billion cubic metres of natural gas). Many actors have set targets for lowering methane emissions by 2030, and momentum to drive down methane emissions has grown since the launch of the Global Methane Pledge in 2021 and the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter in 2023. Yet so far, few countries or companies have formulated real implementation plans for these commitments, and even fewer have demonstrated verifiable emissions reductions. Methane emissions are widely underreported Little or no measurement-based data is used to report methane emissions in most parts of the…

Coal Mid-Year Update 2025 Supply
…In 2025, we expect global coal production to rise slightly to 9.2 Bt, setting a new record. This increase is once again led by China and India, with China’s output growing by 6% year-on-year during the first six months of the year. However, the same period in 2024 marked a low base due to the production cuts in Shanxi. The province is expected to regain its position as China’s top coal-producing region in 2025. As a result, output for the full year is expected to rise by 3%, reaching 4.8 Bt. That said, the…
