Interactive map of global biogas and biomethane potential
This map provides a first-of-a-kind analysis of the sustainable technical potential of biogas and biomethane supply globally. This assessment considers more than 30 types of feedstocks. They can be broadly grouped together as crop residues, animal manure, biowaste and woody biomass. Only feedstocks that can be used without direct competition with food production or animal feed, and that avoid adverse sustainability impacts, are included.

Electricity Mid-Year Update 2025 Prices: Trends in wholesale markets differ across regions
…first half of 2025, about 30% higher compared to the same period in 2024. During H1 2025, natural gas prices were on average about 20% above the levels observed through 2024. The cost of carbon allowances under the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) increased from an average of about EUR 65 per tonne of CO2 (t CO2) in H1 2024 to around EUR 70/t CO2 in H1 2025. At the same time, lower year-on-year electricity generation from wind and hydropower during this period boosted fossil-fired generation, which further contributed to higher power prices.

Electricity 2026 Reliability
Largescale outages amid system instability, equipment failures and weather impacts As the Age of Electricity evolves, with steadily rising electrification rates and electricity demand, blackouts can impact a vast part of economies and social life. Outages induced by operational failures, technical error, or climate-driven events illustrate the importance of redundancy, resilience, and thorough oversight. The following list of outage incidents in 2025 underscores how ensuring the security, reliability and resilience of power systems is evolving from a technical challenge to a strategic necessity that requires unwavering attention from system operators, regulators, and policy leaders. Voltage management increasingly important for…

Policy options to accelerate distributed solar PV in Ukraine Distributed solar PV in Ukraine
This report explores the current policy landscape for distributed solar PV in Ukraine and outlines three potential policy options to accelerate the deployment of this technology. It focuses on expanding the capacity of distributed solar PV to achieve the modelled results from IEA report Empowering Ukraine through a Decentralised Energy System, which outlines a pathway to rebuild and modernise Ukraine’s power sector amid ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure.The IEA estimates Ukraine would need to add around 4 GW of distributed PV per year until 2030 (over 24 GW in total) to create a more decentralised and secure power…

Gas Market Lessons from the 2022-2023 Energy Crisis Anatomy of a natural gas crisis
…to sell its surplus gas in 2019-2020). Simultaneously, Gazprom did not replenish EU underground gas storage capacities that it owned or had booked, leading to a significant divergence in filling pattern between Gazprom-held and other capacities. As a result, overall EU underground storage fill was at its lowest point in nearly a decade by the end of the 2021 injection season, uncovering a vulnerability in the EU market and contributing to an environment of “artificial scarcity”.The decline in Russian piped gas supplies accelerated steeply over the course of 2022, against the backdrop of the Russian Federation’s…

Global Energy Review 2026 Electricity demand
Electricity demand grew more than twice as fast as overall energy demand Global electricity demand grew year-on-year by around 3% in 2025, easing from 4.4% in 2024, when intense heat waves boosted electricity consumption. Nevertheless, the 2025 growth rate remained above the 2.8% annual average observed between 2014 and 2024 and was also well over twice the rate of overall global energy demand growth in 2025 (1.3%). Demand growth was well above long-term average rates in advanced economies, but slowed in Asian economies In 2025, emerging market and developing economies accounted for 80% of…

Global EV Outlook 2025 Trends in heavy-duty electric vehicles
Electric bus and truck sales The electric bus market continued to expand, backed by increasingly favourable economics Electric bus sales grew by 30% in 2024Global sales of electric buses reached more than 70 000 in 2024, driven by renewed growth in China. Sales outside of China increased by just 5% in 2024, although they have almost tripled compared to 2020. As electric bus sales have increased in a range of countries, China’s share of global sales has fallen from around 99% in 2017 to less than 70% in 2024. Although electric bus sales in China generally declined from 2017 to…
