Energy Technology Perspectives 2026

This resource from the International Energy Agency (IEA) can help you to better understand the status and outlook of technology deployment, manufacturing, project pipelines, investments, and trade of different energy technologies and materials. The report puts a special focus on vulnerabilities in energy technology supply chains and industrial competitiveness; it examines supply chains for mass-manufactured technologies such as electric cars, batteries, and renewable power equipment, and it finds that the geographical landscape of manufacturing for these technologies remains highly concentrated in a small number of countries, creating potentially significant disruption risks.

The report provides an examination of the deployment of clean energy technologies, materials, and fuels; clean energy technology manufacturing and trade; and supply chain risks and industrial competitiveness. Though written with policy makers in mind, this report provides analysis that will benefit private sector professionals whose work relates to the clean energy technology market.
