Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2026 Energy in Southeast Asia
…crisis has tested Southeast Asia’s energy security and affordability, exposing the limits of short-term responses. The region was heavily exposed to Middle Eastern supply, both through direct crude oil and gas imports and through refined product trade. Governments have responded with measures to curb demand, reduce taxes, stabilise prices and protect vulnerable households and sectors. These interventions can soften the immediate social and economic impact of higher fuel prices, but they also create fiscal risks. Fossil fuel subsidies in the region were around USD 40 billion prior to the crisis and are set to rise sharply in 2026…

Northwest European Hydrogen Monitor 2025 Executive summary
…longer-term, bolstering energy security.Northwest Europe is at the forefront of low-emissions hydrogen development. The region accounts for around 40% of Europe’s total hydrogen demand. It has vast and untapped renewable energy potential in the North Sea, as well as substantial carbon storage capabilities. The region has a well-developed, interconnected gas network and underground storage sites that could be partially repurposed to facilitate the transmission, distribution and storage of low-emissions hydrogen. Despite the region’s significant potential, the development of low-emissions hydrogen has faced challenges. These include limited progress on demand creation, relatively high…

Global Critical Minerals Outlook 2025 Regional snapshots
Policymakers have woken up to these energy security challenges with a wave of new policy initiatives Governments around the world are intensifying efforts to secure critical mineral supplies through public funding, strategic partnerships and domestic policy reforms. In Europe, regulatory support and investments have ramped up to support critical mineral supply, supported by national investment funds and cross-border partnerships. North America is leveraging financial incentives to stimulate private-sector investment. Latin America, rich in critical minerals, is projected to reach USD 154 billion in mining and refining value amid regulatory reforms to attract foreign capital. China, already dominant, is…

Coal 2025 Executive summary
…In China, which consumes more coal than the rest of the world combined, demand is on course to mirror its 2024 level, as expected. In turn, global coal demand in 2025 is set to be very close to our forecast published in the previous edition of this report a year ago, rising by 0.5% to 8.85 billion tonnes, a record high. Global coal consumption has reached a plateau and may well decline slightly by 2030 Global coal demand is expected to effectively plateau over the coming years, showing a very gradual decline through to 2030 in our latest forecast. By…

World Energy Outlook 2022 The global energy crisis
Introduction The world is in the middle of a global energy crisis of unprecedented depth and complexity. Europe is at the centre of this crisis, but it is having major implications for markets, policies and economies worldwide. As so often is the case, the poorest and most vulnerable are likely to suffer most. The strains did not begin with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but they have been sharply exacerbated by it. Extraordinarily high prices are sparking a reappraisal of energy policies and priorities. The Europe-Russia energy relationship lies in tatters, calling into question the viability of decades of…

Canada is set to play a leading role in supplying the world with responsibly produced critical minerals
…Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan account for about three-quarters of total exploration spending domestically and 85% of total capital expenditure. Large urban cities such as Toronto and Vancouver are also recognised as global hubs for mining and mineral exploration, financing and corporate services. The manufacturing of technologies that use critical minerals is gaining momentum, but challenges remain The IEA’s Review found that Canada also has the strong potential to grow its manufacturing base for renewable energy technologies, batteries and battery components, and other strategic applications, underpinned by its abundant low-emissions power and critical mineral resources. Since 2020, Canada…

Ensuring a Strong Labour Dimension for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions
…the ILO Just Transition Guidelines at the 111th International Labour Conference in 2023. The IEA Clean Energy Labour Council presents this paper in order to highlight the importance of a strong labour dimension in clean energy transitions, and to ensure that the transitions are fair, inclusive, and people-centred. The IEA Clean Energy Labour Council shares these policy considerations with international policy makers as well as the G20 and COP30 Presidencies. Clean Energy Transitions: the role of energy workers Workers are at the heart of the energy system, with around 67.5 million people working in the sector in 2023 and an…

Global Energy Review 2025 Natural gas
…by 2.7%, or 115 billion cubic metres (bcm) (equivalent to around 4 EJ) in 2024. This was above the around 2% annual average growth rate from 2010 to 2019 and well above the rate of around 1% between 2019 and 2023, amid the Covid pandemic and global energy crisis. Emerging market and developing economies in Asia accounted for around 40% of additional gas demand in 2024 on the back of continued economic expansion. Industry and power sectors drove higher consumption From a sectoral perspective, global gas demand growth was largely supported by industry and electricity generation, which accounted for…

Fossil Fuels
…emissions by: Ensuring that GHG monitoring and emission reductions are a strategic priority and an essential element of day-to-day operations. Supporting governments in the development of regulations on flaring and methane emissions that promote best standards for monitoring, reporting and emission reductions. Routinely categorising, tracking and prioritising emission reduction opportunities as part of well reservoir and plant maintenance. Developing consistent measurement and reporting methodologies and nomenclature for GHG emissions and communicating progress on reduction targets. This includes establishing third-party verification systems and transparency for data and reporting. Building partnerships and expanding emission reduction criteria to cover oil...
