The Global EV Outlook 2024 is an annual report that analyzes the latest trends and projections in electric mobility worldwide. It examines the growth of electric vehicle (EV) sales, infrastructure development, battery demand, and market investments. The report also evaluates the impact of EV adoption on electricity consumption, oil demand, and greenhouse gas emissions, while providing insights into policy frameworks and strategies for accelerating the transition to clean mobility. This edition includes a special focus on EV affordability, second-hand markets, and the lifecycle emissions of electric vehicles and their batteries

The World Energy Outlook 2024 provides an in-depth analysis of the global energy landscape, focusing on three key themes: energy security, clean energy transitions, and geopolitical uncertainty. Against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions and increasing climate risks, the report examines the shifting dynamics of energy supply and demand, the role of renewables in decarbonization, and the challenges of scaling up clean energy investments. It highlights the growing influence of electrification, clean technology advancements, and energy policy shifts on the future of global energy markets. The report also explores potential scenarios for energy transitions and their impact on economic and environmental sustainability.

The transition to a low-carbon energy system requires a secure and sufficient supply of critical materials for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. While global resources are available, the key challenge lies in scaling up production to meet rising demand by 2030. This report examines the supply-demand dynamics of key materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite, assesses potential bottlenecks, and explores technological innovations that could mitigate material constraints. It provides insights into policy strategies to ensure a resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective supply chain for EV batteries.

Die österreichische Kreislaufwirtschaftsstrategie betont die große Bedeutung von Normen und Standards, um Systemlösungen im Sinne der Kreislaufwirtschaft skalierbar zu machen. Es wird die Relevanz der internationalen Zusammenarbeit hervorgehoben und auf Österreichs aktive Teilnahme an der ISO TC 323 „Circular Economy“ verwiesen.

Since batteries account for a significant part of the total cost of EVs, R&D continues worldwide to develop abuse-tolerant and affordable batteries with higher energy density. IEA HEV Task 34 “Batterieries” which was financed by the common fund of the IEA Technology Cooperation Programme (TCP) on Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (HEV) within the framework of the International Energy (IEA).

This is the 2024 Annual report for the HEV TCP – an international collaboration of 18 countries exploring cutting-edge questions in hybrid and electric vehicles. This report sets out the background to the partnership, gives updates on ongoing projects and on member countries’ work, and gives a set of contact details for more information.

In line with the European Green Deal’s goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, 15 EU-funded projects are introducing renewable fuel technologies that will support the clean energy transition in the transport sector and help EU’s energy independence. The results are described in this brochure from May 2024.

This first Hydrogen Market Monitoring Report (MMR), covering 2023 and the first half of 2024, sheds light on the main regulatory challenges of the hydrogen markets at EU and national level. It addresses issues such as the repurposing of gas networks and the need for greater coordination by hydrogen, natural gas, and electricity network operators.

Sie ermöglichen u.a., die Qualität und Reinheit von Wasserstoff zu überprüfen, die Leistungsfähigkeit von Brennstoffzellen zu bewerten, die motorische Nutzung von Wasserstoff voranzutreiben, die Energiedichte und Kinetik von Speichermaterialien zu bestimmen, die Auswirkung auf Produkte wie z.B. Stähle zu untersuchen und Sicherheitsstandards einzuhalten.

The European Council of 30 June 2023 called “for an independent High-Level Report on the future of the Single Market to be presented at its meeting of March 2024 and invites the incoming presidencies of the Council and the Commission to take this work forward, in consultation with the Member States”. Both countries and the Commission would like to find in it concrete and ambitious recommendations and asked the former Italian head of government, Enrico Letta, to write this report.
