In the first nine months of 2025, global investment in clean energy amounted to $56 billion, compared to $51 billion for the whole of 2024. Investments were directed from renewable energy to energy storage systems and electric vehicles.
This was reported by The Economic Times.
Among the major deals was Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology, which raised about $5 billion from its initial public offering in Hong Kong in May. Electric vehicle manufacturer BYD also invested $5.2 billion from the sale of shares in March, while Spanish renewable energy giant Iberdrola SA sold $5.9 billion worth of shares in July.
Bloomberg analyst Musfika Mishi noted that nuclear energy attracted one-fifth of all climate project funding. In particular, this includes an $863 million investment in green energy by Commonwealth Fusion, which received funding from a division of Nvidia.
In addition, in early October, Brookfield Asset Management announced that it had raised $20 billion to finance the transition to clean energy. Earlier, JPMorgan Chase announced its intention to raise up to $10 billion in direct investments in equity and venture capital as part of a $1.5 trillion initiative for industries such as batteries, nuclear and solar technologies, which are considered critical.
According to Musfika Misha, it remains to be seen whether investment in green technologies will continue to grow in 2026. She expects that US President Donald Trump's blocking of renewable energy projects will affect investor confidence.
The expert predicts that venture capital investments, which are part of climate action financing, will amount to about $25 billion by the end of 2025, compared to $31.7 billion last year.
On October 10, the European Commission announced the final terms of its first pan-European auction for the decarbonization of process heat (IF25) with a budget of €1 billion.
This auction is being implemented through the European Union's Innovation Fund and announced in the Clean Industrial Production Agreement. In particular, its goal is to support the market introduction of electrified and renewable heat technologies in industrial heat supply, contributing to the decarbonization of European industry.
