A recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights that India has become the second-largest contributor to the rise in global energy demand. The report states that India’s energy demand increase surpassed the combined growth of all advanced economies. This comes as global energy demand grew by 2.2% in 2024, exceeding the average growth […]
Global electricity demand rose by 4.3% in 2024 and is forecast to continue growing at close to 4% through 2027. Over the next three years, global electricity consumption is expected to rise by 3,500 TWh, according to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Moreover, the study found most additional electricity demand through […]
The recycling of battery metals is emerging as a significant commercial opportunity, with the production of recycled metals such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium witnessing rapid growth, albeit from a low base. According to the recent report by International Energy Agency (IEA) recovered metal volumes rates relative to the available feedstock for recycling surged to […]
While most emerging and developing economies face structural barriers to attracting new clean energy manufacturing jobs, India and Southeast Asia have fared relatively well on this front, according to a latest report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Clean energy manufacturing jobs in this region represent nearly 15% of the global total. Several other countries, […]
At the 2023 COP28 summit, nearly 200 countries agreed to double the global rate of energy efficiency improvements by 2030. This decision highlights energy efficiency as a critical part of the clean energy transition. However, one year later, progress remains slow, with improvements in energy efficiency showing only a modest increase of about 1% in […]
Globally, renewable energy shows no signs of slowing down. In the first half of 2024, solar PV additions rose by 36%, electric vehicle sales increased by 25%, and wind power capacity additions kept pace with last year’s deployment, said report. International Energy Agency (IEA) recent report on Clean Energy Market Monitoring indicated that clean energy […]
Despite continuous effort to add more renewable energy capacity, International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest report found that coal dependence continues to persist. IEA world energy outlook report found, “Generation from coal remains over 30% higher than that from solar PV, even in a decade in which solar PV accounts for twice as much capacity, owing […]
Globally, the recent shift in solar PV and wind demand highlights the urgent need for timely integration of these technologies. Such integration is crucial for achieving global decarbonization goals and can significantly contribute to meeting growing electricity demands by 2030. The International Energy Agency (IEA), in its recent report titled “Integrating Solar and Wind: Global […]
The solar industry is shining brighter than ever in 2024, thanks to advancements in solar technology in recent times. The past year has seen an incredible surge in solar power installations, taking the world’s total installed capacity to an impressive 1.6 TWdc. China is responsible for about 60 percent of these new installations, leading the […]
