In advance of the crucial COP21 climate meeting in Paris in December, the IEA report responds to the key needs of decision-makers by setting out the energy sector implications of known national climate pledges, putting forward a clear, pragmatic strategy to advance climate goals through the energy sector without blunting economic growth, and identifying specific energy sector needs from a COP21 agreement in order to support the successful transition to a low-carbon energy system. The report: Presents a detailed first assessment of the energy sector impact of known and signalled national climate pledges for COP21 Proposes a bridging strategy to deliver a near-term peak in global greenhouse-gas emissions, based on five pragmatic measures that can advance climate goals through the energy sector without blunting economic growth Highlights the urgent need to accelerate the development of emerging technologies that are, ultimately, essential to transforming the global energy system into one that is consistent with the world’s climate goals Recommends four key pillars on which COP21 can build success, from an energy sector perspective To Read more…

Global primary energy consumption decelerated sharply in 2014, even though global economic growth was similar to 2013 Consumption increased for all fuels, reaching record levels for every fuel type except nuclear power; production increased for all fuels except coal. For oil and natural gas, global consumption growth was weaker than production. The data suggest that global CO2 emissions from energy grew at their slowest rate since 1998, other than in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis. Emerging economies accounted for all of the net growth in energy consumption, as they have on average over the past decade, although growth in these countries was well below its 10-year average. Chinese consumption growth was the slowest since 1998, yet China still recorded the world’s largest increment in primary energy consumption for the fourteenth consecutive year. OECD consumption experienced a larger than average decline, with weakness in the EU and Japan offsetting above average growth in the US. Energy consumption in the EU fell to its lowest level since 1985. Energy price developments in 2014 were Read more…

POLICY-REGULATION-AND-MARKETS-RHYS.pdf 975.94 KBThe BP Energy outlook 2035 identifies long-term energy trends, building on the BP Statistical Review of World Energy, and then develops projections for world energy markets to 2035, taking account of the potential evolution of the world economy, policy, and technology. The Energy Outlook contributes to the wider debate on global energy issues by asking key questions.Which fuels will gain – and lose – global market share? What is the outlook for US tight oil and shale gas supply, and what will the US energy renaissance of recent years mean for global markets into the future? What changes are likely for China (the world’s biggest energy consumer)? What are the implications for CO2 emissions? And, with the oil price in the spotlight, what are the forces that will influence energy prices over the decades to come? The 2035 report tables and presentation are available here

Spencer Dale Group Chief Economist BP plc The Outlook highlights the continuous change in the energy system – the changing fuel mix, the changing patterns of trade – as it adapts to meet the world’s growing energy needs. It also highlights the challenge of delivering energy supplies which are sustainable, secure and affordable. The Outlook emphasizes the role of competition and market forces in driving technology and innovation to help us meet that challenge. Despite the dramatic recent weakening in global energy markets, ongoing economic expansion in Asia – particularly in China and India – will drive continued growth in the world’s demand for energy over the next 20 years. Global demand for energy is expected to rise by 37% from 2013 to 2035, or by an average of 1.4% a year. BP Energy Outlook

The Statistical Review provides an objective global overview of energy production, consumption, trade, reserves and prices. During 2013 the world’s energy markets were affected by a weak global economy, an historic increase in US ‘tight’ oil production, and ongoing supply disruptions amid continued geopolitical uncertainty. Technology, policy, and investment have also affected global energy markets. Through the Statistical Review, interactive tools, supporting materials, and our webcasts, we will unlock the story from the data, sparking a frank and valuable discussion about global energy economics.

Questions about the adequacy, sustainability and reliability of the future of the global energy system often boil down to questions about investment. Will policy create enough opportunities in Europe after a decade of mostly underperforming investments in the power market? Will sufficient financing be available, on suitable terms, for new wind farms to be build? What are the implications of high capital costs of LNG for Europe’s hope to diversify its gas supply? What risks for fossil fuel investments could arise as a result of stronger decarbonisation policies? And will investment be channelled towards areas that address – or exacerbate – the contribution made by the energy sector to climate change? These are some of the questions that are addressed in a special report World Energy Outlook Seriesin the series. In this report the IEA makes a detailed assessment of current flows and future investment needs along the entire energy value chain and examines financing options and barriers to realisation.
