Vehicle software and software-defined vehicles
GEVO 2026 - Chapter 8 The transition from mechanical to software-based vehicle control has been underway for decades and has accelerated dramatically with the rise of EVs. Pure-play EV makers have pioneered the shift towards high-level, continuously updateable software-based vehicle control, speeding up the development and rollout of new features. Vehicles are evolving into software platforms for which users can access subscription‑based premium features, in the same way as for smartphones. A new design paradigm is emerging, with EVs at the forefront The digital transformation of the car industry is most evident in the emergence of software…

Household Energy Affordability: Data and Indicators
A methodological framework for national monitoring Effective policy requires robust monitoring of household energy affordability, yet no unified methodological approach currently exists. The upcoming IEA report Household Energy Affordability: Data and Indicators, to be published in July, addresses this gap. This executive summary presents its key elements, including a robust methodological framework structured around dimensions, indicators and data to support policy discussions and national monitoring efforts.

National Circular Economy Strategy (NKWS)
The draft of Germany's National Circular Economy Strategy (Nationale Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie - NKWS) was published on 18 June 2024. As of September 2024, the NKWS has been announced but is not yet in force. It is part of ongoing national and European-level projects and regulations aimed at promoting circular economy principles.Key Provisions on Recycling and Critical Minerals:Design for Recycling: The strategy emphasises the importance of designing products to enable functional, high-quality recycling of metals and other materials. This includes ensuring that composite materials can be dismantled and separated.Knowledge Base Development: The NKWS aims to improve information…

UBA (German Environment Agency) RFNBO recognition to contribute to GHG quota
The 37th Ordinance under Germany’s Federal Immission Control Act (37. BImSchV), as outlined in Bundestag document 20/9844, expands the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction quota system to include renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs), aligning certification, definitions, and methodology with EU RFNBO Delegated Acts. Introduced in 2015, the GHG quota system replaced biofuel blending mandates, with targets rising from 3.5% in 2015 to 25% by 2030. Fuel suppliers are responsible for compliance, and electricity used in electric vehicles also counts toward the quota, limiting RFNBO uptake. Non-compliance incurs a €600/tCO₂ penalty, while tradeable certificates create…

Graphite
Outlook for key energy transition minerals This report provides an outlook for demand and supply for key energy minerals including copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and rare earth elements. Demand projections encompass both key energy technologies and other uses under different IEA Scenarios. Supply projections are based on a detailed review of all announced projects. They show how today's geographical concentration evolves over time, for both mining and refining and how expected supply compares with primary supply requirements.

Chad
In Chad, only 4% of the population has access to electricity. This goes hand-in-hand with low rates of access to basic services such as drinking water, basic sanitation and paved roads. Meanwhile, crude oil has become the country’s primary source of export earnings. In 2019, Chad’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes (85%) with oil products accounting for the rest of the total energy supply. In 2020, less than 5% of the population had access to clean cooking and 8% had access to electricity. The electrification rate is one of the lowest in Sub…
