World Energy Investment 2025 India
India is working to diversify its power generation mix by promoting investment in renewables and nuclear to meet sharply rising electricity demand Electricity demand in India has been rising sharply due to increases in commercial and residential space, a surge in ownership of air conditioners and appliances, and rising demand from industry. India has seen the third-largest growth in power generation capacity in the world after China and the United States over the past five years. While growth in power generation has come from all sources, there has been a surge in investment in renewables, led by solar PV…

Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane Introduction to biogas and biomethane
Biogas is a mixture of methane, CO2 and small quantities of other gases produced by anaerobic digestion of organic matter in an oxygen-free environment. Its precise composition depends on the type of feedstock and the production pathway. The methane content of biogas typically ranges from 45% to 75% by volume. Biogas is usually produced using the following technologies: Biodigesters: These are airtight systems (e.g. containers or tanks) in which organic material is broken down by naturally occurring micro-organisms. Contaminants and moisture are usually removed before use of the biogas. Landfill gas recovery systems: The decomposition of municipal…

Electricity Mid-Year Update 2025 Emissions: Power generation CO2 emissions are plateauing
Global emissions from electricity generation rose by 1.2% in 2024, following an increase of 1.6% in 2023. Last year was even hotter than in 2023 – making it the warmest year on record – with the heat waves boosting electricity demand for cooling. Nonetheless, growth in power sector emissions showed signs of slowing down as rapid deployment of renewables constrained increases in fossil-fired generation. As this trend continues, we expect 2025 emissions to plateau and remain relatively unchanged. In 2026, we forecast a slight decline of less than 1%, as the increase in low-emissions generation depresses fossil-fired…

Global Methane Tracker 2026 Understanding methane emissions
Atmospheric methane concentrations continue to rise Methane (CH4) is the second-most harmful greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2), trapping outgoing heat and warming the atmosphere through a process known as radiative forcing. Though it lingers in the atmosphere for far less time (12 years, compared with centuries for CO2), methane absorbs substantially more energy while it does. Cutting methane emissions therefore promises significant near-term climate benefits. Methane carries other hazards, too: it contributes to the formation of ground-level (tropospheric) ozone, a harmful pollutant, and methane leaks can also pose explosion risks.Atmospheric methane concentrations today are 2…

National Hydrogen Strategy
The Ministry of Trade and Industry published in October 2022 Singapore's National Hydrogen Strategy. The role of low-carbon hydrogen to achieve the transition toward net zero by 2050 is identified, with particular focus to the power sector, due to limited domestic resources, and to the shipping and aviation sectors, given the strategic position of the country. Uncertainties surrounding green hydrogen development are recognised, and the effort will be organised around five key points:- support pathfinder projects to advance technology innovation- invest in research and development - pursue international collaboration to enable low-carbon hydrogen supply chains- undertake long-term…

Future Flight Challenge - Green RDD investments for air transport
…to GBP 125 million to develop greener ways to fly, in line with the goals of the Jet-Zero Council, such as all-electric aircraft, deliveries by drone, and advancing electric and autonomous flight technologies. An additional GBP 175 million will stem from the industry. By bringing together technologies in electrification, aviation systems and autonomy it seeks to create new modes of air travel and capability. The project will:- increase mobility, improve connectivity, and reduce air traffic congestion- advance electric and autonomous flight technologies to reach the net zero target- increasing UK manufacturing and service opportunities to drive in investment

Kenya 2024
Energy Policy Review Government action is pivotal in building secure, inclusive and sustainable energy systems. Energy policy is critical not just for the energy sector but also for meeting environmental, economic and social goals. Governments need to respond to national specific needs, adapt to regional contexts, and help address global challenges. In this context, the International Energy Agency (IEA) conducts Energy Policy Reviews to support governments in developing more impactful energy and climate policies.This Energy Policy Review of Kenya was prepared in collaboration between the government of Kenya and the IEA, whose strong partnership achieved an important milestone in…
