Argentina
Argentina’s total primary energy mix is dominated by natural gas (55%) and oil (33%), with bioenergy contributing 5%, and hydropower and nuclear another 3% each. Argentina has the 2nd largest reserve of shale gas and the 4th largest reserve of shale oil worldwide. In 2019, the country produced 500,000 bpd of oil, of which 89,000 bpd was exported, but the country remains a net importer of oil products. In terms of power generation, Argentina relies on natural gas (65%), hydropower (18%), followed by nuclear 8%, wind (7%) and solar (1%). A set of public policies have boosted…

Energy Technology Perspectives 2026 Deployment of clean energy technologies, materials and fuels
…than USD 5 trillion. The market for near-zero emissions materials remains almost non-existent, due to the limited availability of cost-competitive technologies at scale, insufficient policy support and low consumer willingness to absorb cost premiums. Yet momentum is building: 105 Mt of near-zero emissions steel production capacity has been announced since 2020 (equal to around 5% of global production today), roughly double the conventional capacity additions, though only 5% has taken final investment decision (FID). A strong policy push is needed for a large market for near-zero emissions materials: in the NZE Scenario, it reaches USD…

How global oil supplies have readjusted to help fill the huge gap left by the Strait of Hormuz shock
…and middle distillates such as diesel and jet fuel. As the crisis intensified in early April, the North Sea Dated international crude oil benchmark reached an all-time high of $144 per barrel – more than double its pre-war levels, with even steeper gains recorded for jet fuel and diesel.Prices have since eased significantly as demand has fallen sharply, and on increased optimism that a deal would be reached to enable more regular shipping flows through the Strait. The new agreement last week between the United States and Iran, which aims to reopen the Strait and provide the foundation…

IEA Guide to Reporting Energy Technology RD&D Budgets
This manual, developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), provides comprehensive guidance for national experts responsible for reporting energy technology research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) budgets. It outlines the methodology and classification system used to collect and structure RD&D data across IEA member countries, ensuring consistency and comparability. The manual is divided into two main sections: fundamentals of RD&D budget reporting and a detailed classification of energy technologies. It defines RD&D in alignment with the OECD Frascati Manual and clarifies the scope of public and private sector reporting. It also provides instructions for completing the IEA…

Energy Efficiency Policy Toolkit Industry
Introduction Industry accounts for 37% of final energy consumption globally. Doubling global energy intensity improvement by 2030 would require the decoupling of production from energy demand and raising the share of electricity in energy use from 23% in 2022 to 30% in 2030. An integrated policy approach combining regulation, information and incentives is the most effective way to achieve this goal.Regulations such as minimum energy performance standards for motors increase the efficiency of industrial processes by requiring new motors to use less energy per unit of output. This also drives the innovation of more efficient technologies. The alignment of international…
