ABSTRACT

The Energy Outlook is a document designed to understand the uncertainties surrounding the energy transition. It explores key questions such as: How rapidly can wind and solar technologies expand in different scenarios? What impact will electric vehicles have on oil demand? Does carbon capture and storage have a role to play? These key questions can be viewed from various angles. The Energy Outlook presents two alternative scenarios, Current Trajectory and Net Zero, to explore how policies, technologies, and societal behaviors could influence the future of energy. The Outlook serves as a valuable guide for understanding the potential paths of the energy sector, offering insights that could help identify risks and opportunities for those interested in the energy sector.
