…EV) markets, accounting for 85% of electric car sales in both Brazil and Thailand, for example. Across all emerging economies outside of China, Chinese imports made up 75% of the increase in electric car sales in 2024. Expected growth in electric car sales is led by China and Europe, alongside a surge in emerging economies Electric car sales in 2025 are expected to exceed 20 million worldwide to represent more than one-quarter of cars sold worldwide. Sales were up 35% year-on-year in the first three months of 2025, with record first-quarter sales in all major markets…

World Energy Investment 2025 China
…owned enterprises and characterised by large-scale infrastructure projects backed by government financing. However, the landscape is beginning to shift. In recent years the government has increasingly encouraged greater private sector participation in energy development. As part of its evolving strategy, China has explicitly encouraged the involvement of private enterprises in the energy sector beyond the fields of export-oriented clean energy manufacturing into areas of more strategic domestic importance, such as nuclear power, new energy storage and even into upstream oil and gas and mining. The Chinese government has facilitated private participation in more than 8 000 recommended projects in 2024.

Gaining an Edge Summary for policymakers
…from manufacturing capacity to RD&D investments, signal ongoing market growth. Firms that position themselves as producers, as well as users, of energy efficiency technologies stand to gain market share at a pivotal time.While industry leaders recognise the competitiveness benefits of energy efficiency, they need help to overcome barriers to action. In an IEA survey of 1 000 firms around the world, around 80% of industry leaders report that efficiency is key to their competitiveness. However, respondents indicate that they face barriers to implementing more significant measures, including significant upfront costs and insufficient workforce capacity.A renewed policy approach…

What Next for the Global Car Industry Policy and strategic actions
…Thailand, Indonesia, Morocco, Brazil, South Africa, Türkiye); seizing new opportunities (e.g. Egypt, Viet Nam, Chile, Nigeria).Several of the archetype countries have the opportunity to build on extensive existing capabilities in internal combustion engine (ICE) car assembly and supply chains. Existing industrial clusters and know-how represent a competitive advantage, as well as a source of revenue from ICE vehicle sales as electric car markets ramp up. However, there will also be new opportunities for countries with fast-growing car markets, low energy costs and access to critical minerals. In all cases, it will not be possible in the medium…

…such as a list or summary, mention it in your prompt. For example, "List the key points from the executive summary of the Electricity 2025 report." Clarify region and timeframe: When asking for data, be specific about the region you are interested in. For example, "Provide data on electricity generation from renewables by year for Europe." Use comparative analysis: Take advantage of the agent’s capability to compare data across regions or timeframes. For example: "Compare trends in gas-fired power generation in Asia Pacific versus the Americas in the last three years." Use natural language: Feel free to ask...

World Energy Investment 2025 Africa
…most of the region’s population, receives less energy investment and has limited access to reliable electricity. New connection rates have steadily increased since 2000 but remain well below the universal access target set for 2030, with 600 million people still lacking electricity access and more than 1 billion people without clean cooking. Over the past decade roughly half of energy investment in Africa has been in oil and gas, primarily made by private companies with a view to export. Meanwhile, spending on clean energy remained relatively flat at less than USD 30 billion per year until 2021. Since then…

China’s Official Energy Finance in Emerging and Developing Economies Trends in China’s Outbound Energy Finance
…overseas energy engagement. Policy banks have placed a greater emphasis on project selectivity, risk management and alignment with host-country plans, especially after the COVID pandemic. At the same time, China’s broader official sector has expanded its international role in line with industrial competitiveness, global supply-chain integration and the overseas growth of Chinese developers and equipment suppliers. As a result, outbound finance increasingly flows through a more diverse mix of institutions and instruments, particularly in markets where host-country demand for energy infrastructure remains strong.Even with the decline, China remains one of the largest single-country prov...

Rare earth elements 2025
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.

Breakthrough Agenda Report 2025 Fertilisers
State of the transition Emissions Around 60-70% of fertiliser-related GHG emissions occur during fertiliser use; the rest occur during production. In total, fertilisers emit around 1.23 Gt CO2 equivalent per year globally.The emissions intensity of ammonia has fallen by 1.1% annually over the last 10 years, driven primarily by improvements in energy efficiency. Cost Excluding policies such as CO2 pricing, ammonia production today is estimated to cost on average 30% more using carbon capture and storage (CCS) and three times more using electrolysis when compared to conventional routes. Scale and narrowing price differentials with fossil fuels can…
