Renewables 2025 Renewable electricity
…doubles, representing nearly 80% of worldwide renewable electricity capacity expansion. Low module costs, relatively efficient permitting processes and broad social acceptance drive the acceleration in solar PV adoption.Distributed solar PV applications (residential, commercial, industrial and off-grid projects) account for 42% of the overall PV expansion. Higher retail electricity prices following the energy crisis, along with strong policy support, have encouraged individuals and businesses to install solar PV systems with the aim of reducing their electricity bills. The use of distributed solar PV applications with storage units is also growing in countries that have an unreliable electricity grid. In…

Energy Policy Review Government action plays a pivotal role in ensuring secure and sustainable energy transitions. Energy policy is critical not just for the energy sector but also for meeting environmental, economic and social goals. Governments need to respond to their country’s specific needs, adapt to regional contexts and help address global challenges. In this context, the International Energy Agency (IEA) conducts Energy Policy Reviews to support governments in developing more impactful energy and climate policies.This Energy Policy Review was prepared in partnership between the Government of Portugal and the IEA. It draws on the IEA’s extensive…

Pledges to Progress 2025 Recommendations
The case for robust operational emissions reduction – backed by public disclosure to foster progress, transparency and accountability – has never been stronger. The increased regulatory and policy focus on reducing methane and flaring emissions from oil and gas production, the degree of cost-effectiveness in pursuing reductions, and the uptake among industry, investors and others suggest that all stakeholders are well aware of the opportunity for climate mitigation and operational efficiency.In many cases, large improvements in company scores could be achieved with better reporting and increased transparency, especially since companies are likely to be doing more than they are disclosing…

Gas Market Report, Q3-2026 Executive summary
…but other suppliers have stepped up. Between March and June, LNG loadings from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates declined by 35 billion cubic metres (bcm) year-on-year. However, this steep decline was partly offset by higher LNG output from new projects in North America and Africa and the improved availability of feedgas supply from legacy producers in Africa, Asia and the Russian Federation (hereafter “Russia”). Non-Gulf LNG production grew by almost 18% (or around 27 bcm) year-on-year during this period, offsetting around three-quarters of the decline in Gulf LNG deliveries during this period. Altogether…

Global Hydrogen Review 2025 Southeast Asia
…Lao PDR, Malaysia, Singapore and Viet Nam all have hydrogen strategies in place, and there is an opportunity to implement policies encouraging fuel shifting in existing applications, as well as on certification.Projects in the pipeline for low-emissions hydrogen production to 2030 add up to almost 480 ktpa. More than 90% of this in Indonesia and Malaysia; two projects alone represent nearly half of this capacity. To date, 6% of the capacity in the pipeline has reached final investment decision (FID).Indonesia, Malaysia and Viet Nam have sufficient existing ammonia demand to enable economies of scale in low-emissions ammonia production. Indonesia…

Powering Ireland’s Energy Future
Approaches for a secure, renewables-led electricity system to 2035 Ireland has emerged as a frontrunner in integrating wind power, which supplied around a third of its electricity in 2024. As this power system transformation continues, electricity is set to be the backbone for achieving Ireland’s climate, energy and socio-economic ambitions, making electricity security critical to realising progress in key areas including housing, digital infrastructure, transport and heat. Going forward, Ireland faces strategic choices on how to align its ambitions while ensuring secure electricity supply to 2035.This report assesses the outlook for Ireland’s energy security to…

Cote D’Ivoire
Most of Cote d'Ivoire's primary energy demand is covered by local oil refinery supplies and domestic gas production. Almost 60% of the population had access to electricity in the country in 2017, a 10-percentage point’s increase from 2015.

Global Energy and Climate Model Announced Pledges Scenario (APS)
…the details of the energy system pathway, has been informed by the pathways that a number of national bodies have developed to support net zero pledges.For countries that have not yet made a net zero pledge, policies are assumed to be the same as in the STEPS, though they benefit in the APS from the accelerated cost reductions and wider availability of clean energy technologies. Non-policy assumptions, including population and economic growth, are the same as in the STEPS. All net zero emissions pledges considered in the APS are included in the IEA Climate Pledges Explorer.

COP28: Tracking the Energy Outcomes
…cycle of Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs, under the Paris Agreement. Strong ambition and implementation of these NDCs will be crucial in determining the pace at which global greenhouse gas emissions decline over the next decade.The IEA is working with the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat and sharing data, analysis and policy advice with governments to inform this process.Our Climate Pledges Explorer tracks existing NDCs and net zero targets for more than 190 countries. The interactive database, which also lays out what each country’s NDC implies for energy sector emissions, is updated regularly. Working with countries to accelerate…
