Pledges to Progress 2025 Summary of results
The Turning Pledges into Progress framework contains a total of 25 metrics in three categories: 1) target setting (“Targets”), 2) strategies for implementation (“Strategies”), and 3) disclosure and reporting (“Disclosure”). Target setting comprises six metrics related to emissions reductions and investment in clean energy. All the signatories to the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) are assumed to have the aim of achieving these targets. Strategies for implementation comprise eight metrics that describe steps companies can take to achieve these targets; and disclosure and reporting comprises 11 metrics allowing stakeholders to assess how companies publicly report information relevant to achieving the OGDC goals…

Indicators Handbook for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions Purpose and Development of the Handbook
…benefits of clean energy developments, from health and gender equality outcomes to employment opportunities.Help monitor the social and economic impacts of energy transitions, including potential risks or unintended consequences.Enable comparability across jurisdictions, helping identify trends, gaps, and best practices.The development and use of indicators can help governments build stronger national data systems. It can strengthen institutional capacity for evidence-based decision making, mobilise technical and financial support for improved data collection and analysis. This supports adaptive, iterative policymaking, enabling governments to course-correct policies as new challenges and opportunities emerge.Whenever relevant, all indicators should be systemat...

Energy Efficiency 2025 Industry
…a large part of energy demand is used for heat production, and much of this required heat falls within low-temperature ranges (up to 200°C), which could be electrified with existing technologies, such as heat pumps. What are the key measures to accelerate progress? Upgrading motor systems is a key area to promote industrial efficiency. Countries can implement more stringent standards for new motors and equipment, such as fans, pumps and compressors. Additionally, promoting the use of variable-speed drives, through regulations and targeted incentives, can further increase savings in variable-load applications.Electrifying low-temperature heat using heat pumps…

Coal Mid-Year Update 2025 Demand
Global coal demand grew by 1.5% in 2024 to reach an all-time high In 2024, global coal demand increased by 1.5% compared with 2023, reaching a new all-time high of 8.79 Bt. This represents a continuation of the upward trend in coal consumption, albeit at a slower pace than growth rates of 4.4% in 2022 and 2.3% in 2023.The increase in 2024 was primarily driven by emerging economies in Asia, particularly China and India. China recorded the largest absolute growth, with demand rising by 82 Mt (1.7%) while India’s consumption…

World Energy Investment 2025 How we track investment in energy
…For some sectors, such as power generation, this investment is spread out evenly from the year in which a new plant or upgrade of an existing one takes a final investment decision (FID), i.e. when a project reaches financial close or begins construction) to the year in which it becomes operational. For other sources, such as upstream oil and gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, investment reflects the capital spending incurred over time as production from a new source ramp up, or to maintain output from an existing asset.For energy efficiency, the measurement task is more complex…

World Energy Investment 2025 Source, flows and destination of global energy-related investment spending
Most energy investment is supported by commercial finance and made by private sponsors, but the sources of finance vary widely by technology and region. Today, 75% of the available finance for investment in the energy sector is commercial finance, but domestic and international public finance play important roles that vary widely across regions and sectors.

Sheltering From Oil Shocks Cooking fuels
LPG demand accounts for around 10% of global oil demand and is used by many households for cooking. The conflict has caused major disruptions to LPG supply chains. With natural gas processing operations halted in parts of the region and flows through the Strait of Hormuz having come to a standstill, LPG supplies for cooking use have been severely curtailed, both locally and at export destinations. Next to measures to free up LPG capacity from other uses, such as in transport or industry, to prioritise domestic use, there are also actions to directly reduce cooking fuel demand. 9. Where possible…
