Global Methane Tracker 2026 Addressing methane in the marketplace
…global methane emissions would fall by more than 12 million tonnes (Mt), or around 20% of total upstream oil and gas methane emissions. The real-world impact of a methane import standard would depend heavily on its design, enforcement and compliance. If import penalties are low relative to abatement costs, exporters and importers may choose not to comply. Alternatively, exporters could adjust trade flows (physically or via tradeable certificates) so that fuel with low-emissions intensity is directed to countries with an import standard, while higher-emission fuels are either consumed domestically or exported to unregulated markets. In this case…

Energy System Resilience
…resilience – focuses on systems’ ability to cope with events exceeding standard planning conditions. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine has worked to protect its energy sector and to increase its ability to withstand and rapidly recover from Russia’s attacks on its energy infrastructure. The report explores the lessons that Ukraine has been learning as it works to bolster system resilience and identifies measures that apply to a range of high-impact events – such as cyberattacks, physical attacks on infrastructure, extreme and severe weather, and unexpected infrastructure failures – and can in turn be adopted by policymakers and…

Wind
Wind has significant potential to boost growth in global renewable capacity
Electricity generation from renewables is expected to increase by 60% through 2030 – rising from 9 900 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2024 to 16 200 TWh by the end of the decade. Wind accounts for almost a third of growth, second only to solar PV, which accounts for 60%.
Although wind power continues to face supply chain issues, rising costs and permitting delays today, global capacity is still expected to nearly double to over 2 000 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 as both advanced and developing economies tackle these barriers.

China’s Official Energy Finance in Emerging and Developing Economies Dashboard
…in either USD (2024, MER) or by project count. It is designed to complement the analysis in this report and to support deeper understanding of how different institutions and instruments shape China’s role in EMDE energy finance.Use the filters to explore how Chinese energy finance is distributed around the world. Definition of the fields Technology: specifies the type of technology the provided financing supports. When a specific project spans multiple technologies, they are split proportionally.Fossil fuel supply: Activities related to the extraction, processing and transport of fossil fuels, including coal mining, oil and gas production, liquefaction, refining…

Cost of Capital Observatory Dashboard
Overview The dashboard is a free resource that provides data on the cost of capital focused on clean energy projects in emerging and developing economies. It also provides information of the main underlying risks perceived by investors and financiers in each country as well as case studies. We hope these resources will help drive policy changes that can lower financing costs in the parts of the world that most need it. For additional information on how to estimate the cost of capital, this IEA article highlights the importance of financing costs in the energy transition, defines what financing costs are (also commonly…

Global Energy and Climate Model Policies
…followed by more detailed policies by sector: power, industry, buildings and transport. Some regional policies have been included if they play a significant role in shaping energy at a global scale (e.g. regional carbon markets and standards in very large provinces or states). The tables do not include all policies and measures; rather they highlight the policies principally shaping global energy demand today, being derived from an exhaustive examination of announcements and plans in countries around the world. Industry-led initiatives and manufacturing targets that are partially or fully met in the IEA scenarios are the final element making…

Integrating Distributed Energy Resources in China
…Europe, Japan and the United States. Through cross-country comparison, the analysis identifies lessons and best practices that are relevant to China’s evolving power sector and regulatory landscape. It offers insights into the role of policy, regulation, market design, digital infrastructure and institutional frameworks in unlocking the full potential of DERs.The report provides tailored policy guidance to support Chinese decision makers in designing effective strategies for DER integration through 2030 and beyond. At the same time, it can serve as a valuable reference for Chinese and international experts working to develop coherent, forward-looking approaches to DER integration.
