      Key insights from the 2026 report

      • Record energy demand – total energy supply (TES) rose 1.7%, with all major energy sources rising to all-time highs for the second consecutive year.
      • Low-carbon breakthrough – renewables were the largest source of TES growth for the first time outside of a recession, with solar power accounting for 72% of this increase.
      • US emissions rise faster than China – US emissions grew 3.2%, driven by a 13% surge in coal-fired power, in absolute terms, four times the growth of China.
      • Solar and storage surge – solar generation expanded by 30% worldwide, while battery capacity grew at 66%, reinforcing their role as the fastest-scaling clean technologies.
      • Energy security pressures intensify – a 5.1% growth in oil production in the Americas, which has helped lessen the impacts of the current Middle East conflict.
