Nearly 300 million people need to gain access to cleaner cooking each year to 2030 to achieve universal access goals this decade.

The solutions needed to do this are low-cost & all commercially available today.

Progress in Asia & Latin America has helped reduce the number of people without clean cooking access

But in Africa, that number is still rising. Under today's policy settings, most African countries are not set to reach universal access even in the 2050s: iea.li/4ai8cD6

In just 1 week, we’ll bring together global leaders for a Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa!

IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol, 🇹🇿 President @suluhusamia, 🇳🇴 PM Jonas Gahr Støre & AfDB President Akinwumi A. Adesina will co-chair the discussions

Cooking meals over open fires or on basic stoves results in significant damage to health, living standards & opportunities.

And women suffer the worst impacts from the lack of access to cleaner options.

Tackling this issue is affordable & achievable ⬇️ iea.li/4a8kC03

In one week, international leaders will meet at our Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa

At the Summit in Paris, International Energy Agency & our partners from around the world will mobilise resources to make 2024 a turning point on this major health, gender & development issue: iea.li/3QvpEwQ

Looking forward to co-hosting with #COP29 President-Designate Mukhtar Babayev the first COP29 AZ-International Energy Agency High-Level Dialogue on 15 May in Paris

Global energy & climate leaders will convene at IEA HQ to discuss how to deliver on the outcomes of #COP28 and build ambition for Baku

Delighted to speak alongside Ethiopian State Minister Sultan Welle Ahmed at International Energy Agency's workshop on energy information systems in sub-Saharan Africa

Co-hosted by Ministry of Water & Energy, the training offers key insights on how policy makers can use data & modelling to support energy planning

Under today’s policy settings, the uptake of EVs – including cars, vans, trucks, buses & 2/3-wheelers – is set to avoid the need for over 10 million barrels of oil a day in 2035

That's equal to all the oil demand from road transport in the US today 👉 iea.li/4a86d3O

Clean energy technology manufacturing is a new engine of growth

It creates opportunities for employment & economic development around the world, and is essential to the energy transition

Global electric car sales are on track to grow strongly again this year, reaching about 17 million

With more than 1 in 5 cars sold worldwide in 2024 set to be electric, the rise of EVs is transforming the auto industry & the energy sector

Despite near-term challenges in some countries, the global electric car market is gearing up for the next phase of growth

Under today's policy settings, nearly 1 in 3 cars on China's roads by 2030 is set to be electric & almost 1 in 5 in the US & EU → iea.li/4bbwpw8

Investment in manufacturing clean energy technologies is surging. Last year, spending rose to $200 billion, up 70% from 2022

This is supporting economic growth & offering new industrial & employment opportunities worldwide

Battery manufacturing capacity has more than tripled in the last 3 years

Completing all announced projects would be enough to meet demand to 2030 on our net zero path

But manufacturing is concentrated in only a few countries, creating supply chain risks: iea.li/4aQcy5g

Today, utility-scale batteries paired with solar PV are already competitive with new coal plants in some countries like India

In just the next few years, batteries + solar will be cheaper than new natural gas plants in the US & new coal in China 👉 iea.li/3xXPqDk

During my stay in Paris for the European Mayors Summit, I visited Fatih Birol Executive Director of International Energy Agency & discussed the importance of secure & sustainable energy for cities like Istanbul. We have to find smart energy solutions to improve quality of urban life.

Batteries aren't just for powering smartphones

In 2016, the energy sector accounted for around 50% of global demand for batteries, about the same share as electronic devices

By 2023, energy's share had risen above 90% - in a market 10 times the size → iea.li/3Un7yhH

The transition to electric cars is changing the global auto industry, and growing competition is helping push prices down

Chinese companies accounted for over half of global sales in 2023. In conventional cars, China has a much smaller market share ➡️ iea.li/4aWuuuX

A pleasure to host Mayor of Istanbul Ekrem İmamoğlu at the International Energy Agency HQ in Paris.

We discussed the importance of smart urban energy policies to make cities clean and liveable for their citizens.

Excellent discussions at the European Mayors Summit on cities’ leading role in energy transitions

Thank you to Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo for organising the event with leaders including the Mayors of Kiev @vitaliy_klychko, Copenhagen Sophie Hæstorp & Sarajevo Benjamina Karić
