Global Energy Review 2025
…demand for electricity rising almost twice as fast as wider energy demand due to higher demand for cooling, rising consumption by industry, the electrification of transport and the growth of data centres and artificial intelligence. Nearly all of the rise in electricity demand was met by low-emissions sources, led by the record-breaking expansion of solar PV capacity, with further growth in other renewables and nuclear power. Gas demand also picked up substantially, while oil and coal consumption increased more slowly than in 2023.CO2 emissions from the energy sector continued to increase in 2024 but at a slower…

Estonia
…mainly to lowering its reliance on electricity generation from domestic oil shale, an energy rich sedimentary rock. However, oil shale remains the main energy source and imported fossil fuels still plan a major role, especially in transport. Estonia’s forests, which historically offset significant greenhouse gas emissions, have become a net emissions source. Estonia is aiming to accelerate its clean energy transition with a target to cover 100% of annual electricity demand with renewables by 2030 as part of a larger package to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. It is seeing success with one of the highest uptakes of heat…

International collaboration continues to power innovation in energy technologies
…in supporting governments’ ambitions to achieve a secure, sustainable and affordable energy future. The meeting will also welcome the Mission Innovation (MI) Missions Directors to discuss opportunities for collaboration, with the IEA set to host the MI Secretariat at its headquarters starting this year. Amid the current crisis and beyond, energy innovation plays a major role in advancing global energy security The energy sector is an innovation powerhouse. Globally, one in ten patents is related to energy – ahead of patents for chemicals, pharmaceuticals or transport. This reflects rapidly advancing technology development across multiple fields – such as battery technologies, which ac...

Heat Pump Taxonomy
A common framework for heat pumps classification and data Heat pumps are a cornerstone technology for achieving secure, affordable and sustainable heating. They have become one of the most common heating technologies and have the potential to impact significantly future trends for energy consumption in buildings and beyond.Tracking and analysing the pace of heat pump deployment compared to that of conventional heating technologies is essential for understanding future needs with regards to energy demand, investments in electricity infrastructure and fuel supply.Despite their growing importance, data on heat pump installations, as well as on their performance and cost, remain…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2024
…as Indonesia and Brazil to advance clean energy policies. In addition to supporting countries at the national level, the CETP contributed to global platforms such as the Conference of the Parties (COP) and the Group of 20 (G20), ensuring that clean energy goals are integrated into international dialogues. The impact of the CETP extends to critical areas like energy efficiency, critical minerals, climate resilience, mobilising investment and reducing methane emissions, which are central to the global energy transition.Through innovation and multilateral collaboration, the CETP exemplifies the IEA's strategy of promoting clean energy transitions that are not only secure and…

Sustainable Transport for Georgia: A Roadmap
…lives, including both benefits (access to goods and services) and drawbacks (congestion, air and climate pollution, and road injuries and deaths).Since national and municipal policies shape transport technology, infrastructure and operations, the report first examines the country as a whole, followed by Georgia’s largest cities. With road vehicles responsible for more than 98% of domestic transport energy use and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, the focus is on road transport.Opportunities identified include improving vehicle efficiency – particularly by accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption – and cutting reliance on inefficient vehicles by reducing unnecessary car travel and shifting to buses, metro…
