Innovation in energy technologies is thriving globally, with significant advancements in low-emissions solutions and a surge in venture capital funding for startups, reaching $230 billion since 2015. However, funding declined over 20% in 2023 due to inflation and political uncertainties. Key projects, particularly in carbon capture and nuclear energy, are underway, with a focus on overcoming delays and ensuring long-term sustainability.
Global energy demand surged by 2.2% in 2024, driven by rising electricity consumption, particularly in emerging economies. Renewables led the growth, accounting for 38% of the energy supply increase, while oil demand growth slowed to 0.8%, marking a historic drop in its share of total energy demand below 30%. Despite a rise in CO2 emissions, the adoption of clean technologies has significantly mitigated potential increases.
OPEC+ has postponed crude production hikes until April to better assess global demand and economic conditions, extending output cuts until the end of 2026. Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman emphasized the need for a "reality check" amid fluctuating market sentiments and geopolitical uncertainties. Despite the cautious approach, oil prices have declined, reflecting concerns over sluggish demand, particularly from China.
Officials from Iraq, Russia, and Saudi Arabia convened in Baghdad to discuss energy markets ahead of the OPEC+ meeting. Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani met with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak and Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman to address key issues impacting the alliance.
At COP29 in Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia successfully pushed to exclude specific references to fossil fuels from climate agreements, reversing earlier commitments made at COP28. The Saudis negotiated a climate finance deal of $300 billion annually for developing countries by 2035, but did not recommit to reducing fossil fuel reliance, raising concerns about future negotiations as the U.S. faces potential shifts in leadership.
