World oil demand this year and next is growing at less than half the pace seen in 2023.
Despite ongoing conflicts involving major oil producers, global oil prices have remained surprisingly subdued. Structural shifts in supply, demand, and clean energy adoption are redefining the future of the oil sector.
Barring any major disruption to the oil market, the world is likely to be well-supplied over the next five years, Fatih Birol said.
India looks set to reach its 2030 target of 50% non-fossil generation capacity ahead of schedule. There has been a surge in investment in renewables, led by solar PV, IEA has said in a report
By Robert Harvey and Enes TunagurLONDON Global oil demand will rise more slowly for the remainder of 2025 due to economic headwinds combined with r..
According to the International Energy Agency, the world is entering an era of cheaper energy prices, with growing electricity use leading to a surplus of oil and gas.
Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation is set to transform the energy market in the world's fifth-largest economy and drive gas demand growth through the end of the decade and possibly beyond that, the IEA said in a report.
India continues to rely on coal fired power to meet its energy demand because renewable power is mired with intermittency in the absence of energy storage facilities
India, China and Indonesia's coal output reached record levels in 2024, underscoring the growing need for affordable energy to drive growth and sustain economic development.
India is making rapid strides in renewable energy, but coal will continue to dominate for quite a few decades
The skewed distribution of global investment in clean power projects is a concern for India and other developing nations
IEA said oil supply is currently struggling to keep pace with peak summer demand, tipping the market into a deficit. Meanwhile, oil products made gains, supported by large builds in US LPG.
IEA said global renewable capacity additions reached almost 560 gigawatts (GW) in 2023, an unprecedented 64 percent year-over-year increase from 2022.
Many clean energy technologies, such as solar and wind power, are already cheaper over their lifetimes than traditional fuels like coal and oil, the Strategies for Affordable and Fair Clean Energy Transitions report says
IEA said that the world fuel consumption will increase by 1.1 million barrels a day this year, about 140,000 barrels less than expected a month ago.
The IEA report noted that solar PV and battery manufacturing accounted for more than 90 percent of the total investments in both 2023 and 2022. Investment in solar PV manufacturing more than doubled to around $80 billion in 2023, while investment in battery manufacturing grew by around 60 percent to $110 billion.
IEA said in its monthly oil market report that with the post-Covid rebound now largely complete and electric vehicle fleet expanding, oil demand growth in expected to slow down to 1.2 million bpd and 1.1 million bpd in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
The IEA noted that China's contribution to the global increase in oil demand is set to weaken from 79% in 2023 to 45% in 2024 and 27% next year
Global energy-related carbon emissions grew by 1.1 per cent in 2023, increasing 410 million tonnes (Mt) to reach a new record high of 37.4 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Friday.
International Energy Agency, however, said the expansive post-pandemic growth phase in global oil demand has largely run its course as growth eased from 2.8 million bpd in Q3 of 2023 to 1.8 million bpd in Q4.
In a recorded message for the ministerial meeting of the IEA, he said India has surpassed its Paris climate targets ahead of schedule and remains firmly committed to addressing the global issue.
From now till 2030, India will be the largest source of oil demand growth globally, says Toril Bosoni. As a big crude oil buyer, India can certainly do term deals at better terms and better prices, she said.
India's massive industrial expansion means that diesel/gasoil is the single largest source of oil demand growth, the IEA said in a report released at the India Energy Week in Goa.
India’s usage of coal is projected to rise by 8.4 percent in 2023, much higher than 1.4 percent growth for the world
