A Green Future: $2 Trillion Investment in Clean Energy on the Horizon for 2024

The global investment in upstream oil and gas is also set to rise by 7% in 2024 to $570 billion, continuing the growth trend from 2023. National oil companies in the Middle East and Asia primarily drive this increase.

This year, the global shift toward clean energy will see investments reaching a monumental $2 trillion, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This amount is double what is being invested in fossil fuels. In its annual World Energy Investment report, the IEA highlights that for the first time, total energy investment will surpass $3 trillion in 2024.

The bulk of the funds, about $2 trillion, is earmarked for clean technologies. This includes a wide array of sectors such as renewable energy sources like solar and wind, electric vehicles, nuclear power, and technologies for energy storage, along with infrastructure improvements for efficiency and heat pumps. The remaining funds will support traditional energy sources like gas, oil, and coal.

2023 marked the first time investment in renewable energy and associated grids surpassed what was spent on fossil fuels.

China is leading the charge in clean energy investments for 2024, projected to spend about $675 billion. Europe and the United States are also making substantial contributions, with projections of $370 billion and $315 billion, respectively.

Among renewable technologies, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are attracting the most funds, with investments expected to reach $500 billion in 2024, spurred by the decreasing costs of solar modules.

Your team’s ESG performance can be greatly improved applying the asset co-location analysis within upstream or midstream use cases. This has been a topic for a discussion at Rextag’s ‘Is ESG Improvement Next Door?’ webinar. We reviewed some cases like curbing gas flaring or renewable energy sourcing to power the fossil fuel infrastructure. Many combinations are available with access to the data Rextag provides on wells, acreages, power lines, substations, and such renewable infrastructure as wind turbines, methane landfills, etc.

As world leaders gather at the COP29 climate summit, a surprising trend is emerging: some of the biggest oil companies are scaling back their renewable energy efforts. Why? The answer is simple—profits. Fossil fuels deliver higher returns than renewables, reshaping priorities across the energy industry.

The global oil market is full of potential but also fraught with challenges. Demand and production are climbing to impressive levels, yet prices remain surprisingly low. What’s driving these mixed signals, and what role does the U.S. play?

Shell overturned a landmark court order demanding it cut emissions by nearly half. Is this a victory for Big Oil or just a delay in the climate accountability movement?
