Georgia
Georgia has developed an energy sector based largely on hydropower and fuelwood, in addition to imports of fossil fuels. It is also an important transit country for the region, with major oil and gas pipelines running across Georgian territory. Efforts are required to improve energy efficiency and capitalise on the country’s renewable energy potential.
Georgia has made solid progress in the past decade, both in improving the security of its energy supply and in transitioning to a cleaner, more sustainable energy system. Although Georgia is still confronted with many challenges in its transition to a more secure, sustainable and…- Overview

Ukraine
Ukraine is a key country for European and global energy security. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has pushed it to fundamentally reshape its past dependence on energy imports from Russia.
As the invasion continues, Ukraine is focused on tracking large-scale energy supply disruptions and actively working to recover power and heating for civilians. It is also putting together an ambitious recovery and reconstruction plan, with a strong focus on energy security. In the medium-term, Ukraine’s energy strategy remains focused on European integration, while it aims to an energy system that is ready for a Net Zero future…- Overview

Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency for Business Quality and reputation
…cutting the use of waste compactors on site by 80%.Recent survey evidence confirms the scale of these effects. Among 1000 manufacturing companies across a wide range of sectors, around two-thirds report at least a medium decrease in defective production following the implementation of energy efficiency measures, and almost half report a high or very high impact. Improved energy performance is associated with better brand image and market positioning Energy efficiency can shape how firms are perceived in the market. By reducing energy use in visible and measurable ways, more efficient production can signal operational excellence and environmental responsibility…

What Next for the Global Car Industry The importance of the growth in EV sales for the car industry
…than one-fifth of all cars sold globally were electric. Policies remain key to growth in many regions, although falling prices make affordability an increasingly important driver. In China, two-thirds of battery electric cars sold in 2024 were cheaper than internal combustion engine (ICE) equivalents. In other major markets like Europe and North America, electric cars remain more expensive on average. But prices have been falling in many emerging economies on the back of affordable Chinese imports; in Southeast Asia, this helped push the share of electric car sales to 9% in 2024, almost double the share in 2023…

World Energy Outlook 2025 Overview and key findings
…energy demand to 2050, albeit at different speeds, with emerging market and developing economies driving the increase, led by India and Southeast Asia. Differences in the pace at which new technologies are brought into the energy system are reflected in the trajectories for fossil fuels. In the CPS, oil and natural gas demand continue to grow to mid-century, although coal goes into decline before 2030. In the STEPS, coal use peaks earlier than in the CPS and oil demand flattens by the end of the decade, but natural gas demand continues to grow into the 2030s, as a wave…

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.

Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane Assessing the sustainable potential and cost of feedstocks for biogas and biomethane
…gas produced from a feedstock through anaerobic digestion, primarily methane (CH₄) and CO₂. Methane yield, by contrast, accounts only for the methane portion, which is the component usable as fuel. For this report, we considered the methane yield per tonne of dry matter for a range of different feedstocks. Emerging market and developing economies account for 80% of the global potential for biogases, which is concentrated in countries where the agricultural sector plays a prominent role in the economy. India, Brazil, and China lead the way with high biogases potential from cereal crop residues, sugar crop residues, and manure respectively…
