Breakthrough Agenda Report 2025 Cement and concrete
…establish emissions intensity thresholds for near-zero and low-emissions cement and concrete production can underpin many enabling mechanisms. These can feed-in to product-level thresholds, which can support further emissions reductions as well as material efficiency measures.Coalescence around existing definitions – and promotion of their use – could avoid the creation of more proposals and associated challenges to clarity.Emissions measurement methodologies provide a framework for measuring and accounting emissions to support the development of definitions and standards, among other usesInteroperable and net zero compatible methodologies can improve clarity and reduce reporting burden. Existing schemes offer a robust basis…

Global Energy Review 2025 Key findings
…slowed markedly in 2024, in line with the IEA’s forecast. Oil’s share of total energy demand fell below 30% for the first time ever, 50 years after peaking at 46%. Demand for oil rose by 0.8% in 2024, compared with a 1.9% increase in 2023. However, trends varied between sectors and regions. Oil demand from global road transport fell slightly, driven by declines in China (-1.8%) and advanced economies (-0.3%). Oil demand from aviation and petrochemicals grew.Natural gas saw the strongest demand growth among fossil fuels. Demand increased by 2.7% in 2024…

Global Energy and Climate Model Policies
…and expand the list of energy and climate-related policies and measures that feed into our modelling. Assumptions about government policies are critical to this analysis and are the main reason for the differences in outcomes across the scenarios. A summary of some of the key policy targets and measures for different sectors by selected countries and regions can be found in the Annex B of WEO-2025.Although all care has been taken to ensure accuracy, completeness and clarity of content in these databases, this does not represent a complete listing of all energy related policies in the region…

Global Energy Review 2026 Electricity demand
…energy demand growth in 2025 (1.3%). Demand growth was well above long-term average rates in advanced economies, but slowed in Asian economies In 2025, emerging market and developing economies accounted for 80% of global electricity demand growth. China’s share of the increase in global demand was 58%, higher than in 2024, when it stood at 52%, but lower than the 62% average observed over the previous decade. China’s net electricity demand surpassed 9 500 TWh in 2025, up by 5.1%, but slower than the growth of 6.6% in 2023 and 7.0% in 2024…

Chile 2050 Energy Transition Roadmap Executive summary
…Chile’s Long-Term Energy Planning (PELP 2028-2032). This report builds on the modelling and analytical strengths of the IEA to assess what is needed to reduce energy-related emissions to reach net zero emission by 2050. It is based on the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS), in which Chile and all other countries meet their announced long-term net zero emissions targets.The energy sector accounts for three-quarters of total greenhouse gas emissions in Chile. Energy-related CO₂ emissions peaked in 2019 at 94 Mt and have since fallen by more than 20% to 72 Mt in 2024…

Ramping up Heat Pumps in Moldova: A Roadmap A pathway for heat pumps
Heat pumps can strengthen Moldova’s energy security, independence, air pollution and emissions, and even improve energy affordability. Given the regional turmoil – notably in the energy sector – over the past three years and into early 2025, there is a compelling case for reducing natural gas consumption by deploying heat pumps. While Moldova is only beginning to realise its heat pump potential, this presents a significant opportunity to design the system effectively – by stimulating demand, expanding supply, financing the transition and establishing clear regulations. A comprehensive approach will help to ensure a steady and orderly deployment. The following table recommends specific…

Electricity 2026 Executive summary
…demand for air conditioning, which is set to boost both annual consumption and peak loads.Electricity demand growth in advanced economies is accelerating again after 15 years of stagnation. This resurgence signals a new era in which electricity is a major energy input to some of the most dynamic drivers of global economies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), data centres and advanced manufacturing. In 2025, advanced economies accounted for almost 20% of global electricity demand growth, up from 17% in 2024. We expect this share to remain near the 20% level on average over the forecast period, driven by expanding industrial…

Ramping up Heat Pumps in Moldova: A Roadmap Building the market
…front is much easier than fighting widespread misinformation. Consumers may also be unaware of existing government incentives to promote heat pumps, especially since these have only been introduced in recent years. The 2024-2025 energy challenges stemming from the gas transit shut-off to Ukraine, alongside progress in diversifying Moldova’s natural gas supplies, provide a timely opportunity to promote the benefits of heat pumps.Awareness campaigns on heat pumps will be key to educating the public on the long-term cost savings potential for households as well as the environmental benefits. They will also help dispel some of the…

Global Hydrogen Review 2026 Production
Global hydrogen production remains dominated by unabated fossil fuels. Low-emissions hydrogen production reached almost 1 Mt in 2025 and is expected to register record growth in 2026, accounting for more than 1% of global production, strongly concentrated in China, Europe and North America.Installed electrolysis capacity doubled in 2025 to surpass 4 GW, thanks to the commissioning of several large-scale projects in China. More than 2.5 GW are under construction, targeting operation in 2026. Growth is expected mostly in Europe, with 2 GW, but is highly concentrated in a small number of big projects.One large project for production from fossil…
