Energy-importing countries scaling clean energy three times faster than exporters

Energy-importing countries are scaling clean energy at three times the rate of exporters due to geopolitical tensions and a push to reduce reliance on imported oil and gas, while exporters are increasing production but decarbonising more slowly. Technologies like solar, wind, and battery storage are advancing rapidly, but higher-cost solutions such as hydrogen and carbon capture face slower deployment without stronger policy support.
