Global Methane Tracker 2025 Accelerating industry action
…the oil and gas industry – they hold the greatest potential for cost-effective abatement. We estimate that around 25 Mt of methane emissions from upstream operations (40% of all upstream oil and gas methane emissions worldwide) could have been avoided at no net cost in 2024. Well over 15 Mt of emissions could have been avoided through measures with internal rates of return exceeding 25% – well above the thresholds that oil and gas companies typically require for capital investment. Methane plume from a flare in Russia, 2024 The global average methane intensity of upstream oil and gas has fallen by around…

Cote D’Ivoire
Most of Cote d'Ivoire's primary energy demand is covered by local oil refinery supplies and domestic gas production. Almost 60% of the population had access to electricity in the country in 2017, a 10-percentage point’s increase from 2015.

Global EV Outlook 2026 Trends in other EV modes
…reached total cost of ownership (TCO) parity with diesel trucks in certain cases after 5 years of ownership. Strong policy measures from the government further incentivised growth: the renewed scrappage scheme offered owners up to around USD 20 000 to replace older trucks (i.e. trucks compliant with China IV emissions standards or earlier pollutant emissions standards) with cleaner trucks – either new energy vehicles or conventional trucks that meet China VI emissions standards. The subsidy is sufficient to cover around 20-50% of the average electric truck price premium in China. Decarbonisation targets for heavy industry have also strongly supported the switch to electric trucks…

Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane Assessing the sustainable potential and cost of feedstocks for biogas and biomethane
…component of a biogas project is the anaerobic digester. Capital expenditure for biogas plants demonstrates significant economies of scale, with larger facilities offering lower costs per unit of production capacity. Landfill gas requires lower upfront investment in the digestion process but additional capital and operational expenditures are required for the gas collection infrastructure. Biogas and biomethane projects tend to have relatively high ongoing operating expenses compared with other energy sources. Expenses are associated with pre-treatment and processing as well as energy required for onsite equipment such as digesters and upgrading facilities. The economics of feedstock procurement also vary considerably…

Portugal 2026 Policy recommendations for Portugal
Energy policy landscape 1. Adopt a national roadmap based on bottom-up sectoral agreements to support timely and cost effective emissions reductionsPortugal has established a clear long-term direction for its energy transition through the Roadmap for Carbon Neutrality 2050, the Basic Climate Law, and the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) 2030. The NECP commits to reducing GHG emissions by 55% by 2030 (vs. 2005 levels) and achieving climate neutrality by 2045. Strong progress has been made, with emissions down 43% in 2024, driven mainly by decarbonisation of electricity supply. Portugal is now entering a mid-transition, in which further…
