Sustainable Transport Policy for Armenia: A Roadmap Policy recommendations and milestones
…from its dependence on imported fossil fuels.In the summary below, the recommendations offered in this roadmap have been grouped into three categories to help the government prioritise its actions effectively and ensure a systematic transition toward low-carbon mobility. Each category reflects the level of urgency, impact and feasibility of the proposals:Critical Measures: These are high-priority actions essential for achieving energy and transport policy goals. They require immediate implementation and will have the greatest impact on emissions reduction, infrastructure development and regulatory frameworks.Important Measures: While not as urgent, these actions are necessary for long- term success…

Key Questions on Energy and AI
Background information Following the publication of the IEA’s landmark Energy and AI report in 2025, this new report examines how the energy and AI nexus has evolved amid surging investment in data centres and rapid advances in model capabilities. Drawing on fresh datasets and analysis, it explores where electricity demand is rising, how quickly grids and supply chains can respond, and what these shifts mean for energy affordability, security and sustainability.The report is structured as a set of questions and related analysis.

Global Methane Tracker 2026 Understanding methane emissions
…alongside CO2, continue to increase year‑on‑year.The latest Global Methane Budget (2025) estimates that annual global methane emissions reached around 610 million tonnes (Mt) in 2020, with human activity accounting for almost two-thirds of the total and natural sources making up the rest. The energy sector accounts for around 40% of methane emissions from human activity International Energy Agency (IEA) analysis suggests the energy sector emitted nearly 150 Mt of methane in 2025. Coal production was responsible for 39 Mt, while inactive mines accounted for around 4 Mt and end-use equipment about 1 Mt. Oil operations accounted for around 44 Mt and…

China’s Official Energy Finance in Emerging and Developing Economies Case 7. Palembang waste-to-energy plant
…delivery.The Palembang Waste-to-Energy Project is the city’s first planned large-scale WTE facility and among Indonesia’s most advanced PPP-based WTE developments to date. Initiated by Zheneng Jinjiang Environment Holding Company Limited, a Chinese SOE and leading WTE operator, the project will treat 1 000 tonnes of municipal waste per day and generate 20 MW of electricity. Over a year, it will process nearly 300 000 tonnes of waste, reducing the city’s reliance on landfill disposal, cutting methane emissions, and improving local environmental conditions. The project broke ground in September 2024 with China Power Engineering Consulting…

Sustainable Transport Policy for Armenia: A Roadmap Accelerating sustainable transport
…innovation-driven growth. Governance and improved data quality Armenia faces several institutional hurdles that complicate efforts to advance sustainable transport governance. While the 2019 merger of the former Ministry of Energy Infrastructures with the Ministry of Transport into the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure (MTAI) has helped improve co-ordination on transport-related issues, high staff turnover threatens institutional memory and disrupts continuity. A lack of strong monitoring systems also makes it difficult to track policy implementation and measure progress.Co-ordination with the newly established Climate Policy Department within the Ministry of Environment remains limited – particularly on issues…

Pledges to Progress 2025 Pledges to Progress Company Assessment
…the Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Charter, agreed at COP28. It is a baseline assessment, in that the evaluations for each metric are based on public company reporting published in 2024, which often rely on data and progress from 2023, i.e. before the OGDC was launched.This is not an assessment of environmental performance. It tracks 25 specific aspects of target-setting, implementation strategies and disclosure, based on a framework put together by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the United Nations Environment Programme’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), and the Environmental Defense Fund. Companies may not need to undertake…

Financing Electricity Access in Africa State of play
Understanding electricity access financing As of 2024, around 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa (47% of the population) did not have access to electricity. With electrification barely keeping up with population growth rates, progress remains far off the pace envisaged both by African governments and international organisations. Reaching universal access requires a cost-effective, multi-technology approach, with grid extension, mini-grids and stand-alone systems all playing a role to ensure affordable service provision to unelectrified communities. Notably, financing has been one of the primary impediments to growth.For the first time, the IEA has tracked electricity access financing commitments…

Global Energy Review 2026 Technology: Nuclear
In 2025, 3 GW of new nuclear capacity came online, with China, India and Russia each completing work on a new reactor. However, these additions were offset by the retirement of 3 GW of nuclear capacity, two-thirds of which was in Belgium. In total, global nuclear capacity remained at 420 GW at the end of 2025, with reactors in operation in over 30 countries. There were ten construction starts in 2025 – nine in China and one in Russia – with a total capacity of 12.2 GW. Over the past decade, 94% of nuclear reactors that started construction were of…
