Global Methane Tracker 2026 Key findings
…of tighter regulations and structural changes in production. Globally, improvements in upstream emissions intensity for oil and natural gas have offset rising output. Tackling methane and flaring delivers energy security benefits The ongoing crisis in the Middle East is reshaping the global energy system and disrupting around 20% of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade flows (around 110 bcm of gas passed through the Strait of Hormuz in 2025). As countries seek alternative sources of gas to replace lost volumes, it is worth noting that large quantities of produced gas are not being put to productive use, owing to methane leaks…

Burkina Faso
In 2019, Burkina Faso’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes, with oil products accounting for one-third of the total energy supply. In 2020, 11% of the population had access to clean cooking and only 21% had access to electricity, making Burkina Faso one of the world’s least-electrified countries. For electricity, the country has a target of 95% access for urban areas and 50% for rural areas by 2030. For clean cooking, Burkina Faso has a universal access target for urban areas and 65% in rural areas by 2030. The target for LPG urban penetration…

World Energy Outlook 2022 Outlook for electricity
Electricity accounts for about 20% of the world’s total final consumption of energy, but its share of energy services is higher due to its efficiency. It is central to many aspects of daily life and becomes more so as electricity spreads to new end-uses, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. The electricity sector accounted for 59% of all the coal used globally in 2021, together with 34% of natural gas, 4% of oil, 52% of all renewables and nearly 100% of nuclear power. It also accounted for over one-third of all energy-related CO2 emissions…

Croatia
Croatia's National Energy Strategy 2009-2020 has three basic objectives: increase security of energy supply, develop competitive energy system and ensure sustainable energy sector development. These objectives are particularly important for the country, as it is heavily dependent on energy imports, resulting in its vulnerability to energy prices fluctuations.

Global Hydrogen Review 2025 Executive summary
…total and was almost entirely concentrated in biofuels production. The supply of hydrogen continued to be dominated by fossil fuels, using 290 billion cubic metres (bcm) of natural gas and 90 million tonnes of coal equivalent (Mtce) in 2024. Low-emissions hydrogen production grew by 10% in 2024 and is on track to reach 1 Mt in 2025, but it still accounts for less than 1% of global production.While the uptake of low-emissions hydrogen is not yet meeting the ambitions set in recent years – held back by high costs, uncertain demand and regulatory environments, and slow infrastructure development – there are still…

Global EV Outlook 2026 Electric vehicle batteries
…albeit unevenly Average battery prices declined by 8% in 2025, supported by continued improvements in manufacturing efficiency, advances and shifts in battery chemistries and technology, and intensifying global market competition. Relatively low critical mineral prices also contributed to downward cost pressure, although lithium and cobalt experienced notable price increases over the year. The recent increase in lithium and cobalt prices – if sustained – could put upward pressure on battery costs as stockpiles of minerals purchased at lower prices are being drained.Lithium prices at the beginning of 2026 were more than twice as high as in the same period in 2025…

Gaining an Edge Unlocking the potential of energy efficiency
Efficiency opportunities at the firm level At the firm level, energy efficiency offers untapped opportunities to reduce costs in both light and heavy industries In a competitive environment, firms are seeking to reduce costs, support sustainable growth and meet dynamic market demands. Energy is an important component of production costs in many industrial sectors, although its share varies by industry. These differences are influenced by the type and complexity of production. Heavy industries, such as steel, cement and chemicals, tend to be more energy intensive due to the large-scale processes and high thermal demands. Light industries, such as electronics…

Electricity Mid-Year Update 2025 Executive summary
…increase by 5% in 2025, reflecting slower demand growth in the industrial sector. Nonetheless, China alone will account for 50% of global electricity demand growth, as it did in 2024. Similarly, after 6% growth in 2024, electricity demand in India is forecast to rise by 4% this year. However, stronger growth is forecast for both China (+5.7%) and India (+6.6%) in 2026, as activity in the industry and services sectors picks up. Together, these two economies will account for 60% of global demand growth through 2026.The United States is seeing above-trend electricity demand growth in 2025…
