Türkiye
Rapid economic and population growth in Türkiye over the past two decades have not only driven strong growth in energy demand, but also an associated increase in import dependency. As a result, Türkiye has pursued a restructuring of its energy system with the aim of rationalising energy demand growth, lowering energy prices and slowing the pace of import growth.
These reforms have included measures targeted at modernisation, liberalisation and increased domestic production capacity. Notably, Türkiye has seen considerable diversification of its energy mix in the past decade. Renewable electricity generation has tripled in the past decade and the commissioning of…- Overview

Yemen
In Yemen, less than half of the population has access to electricity. In 2010, the government launched a National Strategy for renewable energy and energy efficiency, which aims to develop grid and off-grid renewable energy and targets a 15% share of renewable electricity generation by 2025.

South Africa
Coal is the mainstay of the South African energy system, meeting around 70% of installed power generation capacity. The 2019 Integrated Resource Plan however sets out a long-term diversification of the power mix by 2030 and moves towards lightening the carbon footprint of the energy sector while meeting growing energy demand and ensuring a socio-economically just transition. While the options to diversify the country's electricity mix appear diverse, the affordability of electricity supply looms as a key concern and a potential constraint on diversification. The structure of consumption and of spending on electricity is skewed towards higher…

Hydrogen Headstart
…contribute up to $2.25 billion in support Australia’s hydrogen industry to 2038-39. The program is helping to bridge the gap between the cost to produce renewable hydrogen with its expected sales price. The program has two funding rounds. Round 1 concluded in July 2025, the results of which being the commitments of up to $1.25 billion to two high-merit projects, including: - $814 million for the Murchison Green Hydrogen project, and - $432 million for the Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub. As part of the 2026-27 Commonwealth Budget, the Australian Government affirmed its commitment of up to…

Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve
In 2025, the Government of Australia announced the creation of a Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve (CMSR) to strengthen the country’s economic security, supply chain resilience, and role as a reliable supplier in global critical minerals markets, including for clean energy, advanced manufacturing and defence applications.The CMSR is a supply-side investment facilitation mechanism through which the government, via Export Finance Australia (EFA), can secure rights to production (e.g. via offtake agreements), aggregate supply, support projects financially, and selectively stockpile minerals, with the ability to on-sell these volumes to domestic users or international partners in response to…

Critical Minerals Mapping Initiative
The Critical Minerals Mapping Initiative is an international collaborative effort between Geoscience Australia (GA), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) aiming to build a diversified critical minerals industry in Australia, Canada, and the United States by developing a better understanding of known critical mineral resources. The initiative also works to determine geologic controls on critical mineral distribution for deposits currently producing byproducts, to identify new sources of supply through critical mineral potential mapping and quantitative mineral assessments and to promote critical mineral discovery in all three countries. The initiative also includes the integration…
