Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage
Co-ordinate and promote the development of CCUS hubs and shared networks
CCUS hubs can spread infrastructure costs between emitters and generate economies of scale to reach emitters that are smaller-scale or further away from identified CO2 storage sites. Governments can have a key role in the development of hubs by: Co-ordinating hub development through competitive solicitations that encourage collaboration across multiple sectors (e.g. industrial emitters, power plants). Efforts are already underway in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Ensuring legal and regulatory frameworks are designed to account for shared infrastructure networks that allow for non-discriminatory open access…

Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025 Broader view on energy-related strategic minerals: What risks to anticipate?
…small and opaque, making disruptions harder to detect, with far-reaching consequences on downstream consumers Price volatility is a defining feature of critical mineral markets, often stemming from the relatively small size and limited transparency of these markets. Among 20 strategic minerals, 75% have shown greater price volatility than oil, and half have been more volatile than natural gas. These risks are also heightened by the fact that many strategic minerals are produced not as co‑products or by-products of primary commodities. Minerals such as tellurium, gallium and germanium are typically recovered during the processing of copper, nickel or aluminium…

…organisations, obtain deeper access to target networks, and for malicious scripting and evasion techniques. In view of these evolving threats, the deployment of more proactive AI-enabled cybersecurity systems that are quick to respond to threats is critical for ensuring the resilience of the energy sector. Upskilling, threat mapping and expertise sharing will be essential for keeping the energy sector ahead of the curve The security of energy sector supply chains for AI Securing the supply of affordable and reliable power for data centres is at the heart of the challenge of energy for AI. In particular, the growing ex...

Battery storage is scaling up and taking on a larger system role
Commentary As the result of falling costs and greater flexibility needs, battery storage is playing a growing role in power systems worldwide, acting as a “multi-tool” that can provide a range of critical system services at once. According to the latest data, the deployment of batteries expanded strongly in 2025 and broadened across markets – with rapid growth in countries such as Australia and Saudi Arabia, where storage is increasingly being used to support the integration of rising shares of variable renewables.In regions that have been at the forefront of renewable integration and battery deployment, batteries now play an…

World Energy Investment 2025 Executive summary
…low-emissions fuels, efficiency and electrification, twice as much as the USD 1.1 trillion going to oil, natural gas and coal. Open questions about the economic and trade outlook means that some investors are adopting a wait-and-see approach to new project approvals, but we have yet to see significant implications for spending on existing projects. Rapid growth in spending on energy transitions over the past five years was kicked off by post-pandemic recovery packages and then sustained by a variety of economic, technology, industrial and energy security considerations, not only by climate policies. Some 70% of the increased…

Emission reductions
Multiple benefits of Energy Efficiency 2025 Energy efficiency provides multiple benefits. This page explores emission reductions. Why is energy efficiency important for emission reductions? Energy efficiency can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants and make the energy system more sustainable. Key facts Since 2010, efficiency measures avoided energy-related carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions equivalent to nearly 20% of the global total in 2023. This is more than the entire energy-related emissions of India and the European Union combined. Accelerating efficiency improvements could deliver a third of all energy-related CO₂ emission reductions between now and 2030 in…

Global Energy and Climate Model Understanding GEC Model scenarios
…the same starting point and is based on the latest data for energy supply and demand, markets, technology costs and policies, as well as the same pathways for future population and economic growth.The energy system described and explored in each scenario evolves in a distinctive pathway that delivers energy services with a different mix of technologies and fuels, with varying implications for energy security, affordability and emissions. This is primarily due to differing assumptions about how energy policies are implemented and evolve, and how these interact with the evolution of energy technologies and markets. By comparing the WEO scenarios…

Global EV Outlook 2025 Outlook for energy demand
…interactively explored via the Global EV Data Explorer. Oil displacement Electric vehicles displace more than 5 mb/d by 2030 Expanding EV adoption continues to reduce oil demand, with oil displacement growing by 30% to over 1.3 mb/d in 2024 – equivalent to Japan’s entire transport sector oil demand today. By the end of the decade, EVs are set to displace over 5 mb/d of diesel and gasoline in the STEPS, and China’s EVs to account for half of displaced oil.Electric LDVs drive most of the oil displacement, accounting for 80% today and around 77…
