World Energy Outlook 2012 - (To be released on 12 November 2012)




Pre-order WEO-2012		  
Drawing on the latest data and policy developments, the 2012 edition of the World Energy Outlook presents analytical insights into trends in energy markets and what they mean for energy security, environmental protection and economic development.

It sets out updated projections of energy demand, production, trade, investment and carbon-dioxide emissions, broken down by country, fuel and sector, to 2035.

WEO-2012 also provides unparalleled analysis of strategic issues that will shape our energy future:
  • As we do each year, we analyse a single country, this time Iraq. This first-ever in-depth outlook of the Iraqi energy sector examines both its role in satisfying the country’s domestic needs and its crucial role in meeting global oil demand (WEO-2012 special report to be released in early October).
  • Detailed analysis of the "Golden Rules" that are needed to support a potential "Golden Age of Gas", which could transform global energy markets. This will provide important insight into the environmental challenges linked to unconventional gas production and how best to deal with them (WEO-2012 special report to be released on 29 May).
  • As we do each year, we analyse a single fuel, this time energy efficiency. We take a comprehensive look at the strategies to unlock the potential of energy efficiency and unleash real gains for energy security, economic growth and the environment.
  • Water is fundamental to many forms of energy production and so we investigate the water-energy nexus to explore the implications for energy production as water resources become increasingly stressed in some regions.
  • We examine the effect of climate impacts on energy trends and on prospects for meeting the 2°celsius climate goal.
  • In support of the "UN International Year of Sustainable Energy for All", we provide indicators to help monitor progress towards the goal of providing modern energy services to the billions currently without them.
With extensive data, projections and analysis, WEO-2012 provides invaluable insights into how the global energy system could evolve over the next quarter of a century. It is indispensable for anyone with a stake in the energy sector.


World Energy Outlook 2011

(Released - 9 November 2011)

 
  

The 2011 edition of the World Energy Outlook was released on 9 November and brings together the latest data, policy developments, and the experience of another year to provide robust analysis and insight into global energy markets, today and for the next 25 years. This edition of the IEA’s flagship WEO publication gives the latest energy demand and supply projections for different future scenarios, broken down by country, fuel and sector.

It also gives special focus to such topical energy sector issues as Russia’s energy prospects and their implications for global markets; the role of coal in driving economic growth in an emissions-constrained world; how high-carbon infrastructure “lock-in” is making the 2°C climate change goal more challenging and expensive to meet; the scale of fossil fuel subsidies and support for renewable energy and their impact on energy, economic and environmental trends; or the scale and type of investment needed to provide modern energy to the billions of the world’s poor that do not have it.

WEO-2011 further analyses some of the most pressing issues faced by the energy world this year by looking at the implications of a possible delay in oil and gas sector investment in the Middle East and North Africa and also by presenting a “Low Nuclear Case” to investigate what a rapid slowdown in the use of nuclear power would mean for the global energy landscape.

The IEA Energy Business Council (EBC) is an executive-level group that represents a wide variety of international companies involved in different aspects of energy fields. Founded and chaired by Dr. Fatih Birol, IEA Chief Economist, it serves as a forum for discussions between Ministers and industry leaders on key pressing energy issues.
