        Global Youth Energy Outlook

        The Global Youth Energy Outlook is a major youth-led research project designed to collect perspectives on the energy transitions from over 30 000 young people all around the world. It is one of the programmes of the Canada-based Student Energy, a global youth-led organisation working with a network of 50 000 young people from over 120 countries to build the knowledge, skills, and networks they need to take action on energy. The outlook is led by a team of 12 regional coordinators from around the globe who are compiling answers to a ten-question survey disseminated internationally…

To fulfil this, it raises awareness about emerging clean energy technologies in Germany as well as internationally and enhances networking among policy makers, industries and new entrepreneurs in the clean energy area. This annual award generates significant publicity and enthusiasm around clean energy technology internationally at relatively low taxpayer cost. It engages policy makers, industry experts and start-ups on a common platform to highlight challenges for high-potential disruptive ideas. The initiative has an international outlook and is open to participants from around the world…

        Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook

        …commercial at 12,260 thousand kilolitres, residential sector 11,600 thousand kilolitres and industry at 10,420 thousand kilolitres. Those figures indicate that 35% improvement of final energy intensity needs to be achieved from 2012 to 2030. Renewable electricity generation would be 237-252 TWh, and its share in total electricity generation would be 22-24% in 2030: solar PV 7.0%, wind 1.7%, biomass 3.7-4.6%, geothermal 1.0-1.1% and hydro 8.8-9.2%.

         

        This outlook must be re-examined at least every three years and can be revised corresponding to the situation.

        Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period up to 2050

        The Energy Strategy aims for effective resource development, including full supply to meet domestic market needs, technological leadership, the creation of domestic materials, equipment and technologies, and the training of the workforce. It sets out a a target scenario towards 2050 for Russia's energy sector, with projections and timeline for its oil, natural gas and LNG production. It also signals a rise in electricity demand, partially due to data centres, by up to 42% compared to 2023 levels. Nuclear energy is also foreseen to reach 25% of total electricity generation by the same date.

The heat market will undertake a transition to a consumption-based billing system in an accelerated pace.3. Industry: The expansion of high-pollution and high energy-intensive industries is heavily restricted, alongside the phase-out of obsolete technologies and excess capacity. The focus is on coal-red industrial boiler (kiln) retro; district cogeneration and waste heat and pressure utilisation.4. Transport: the focus is on development of electric car industry and energy efficient transportation, including subway trains and high speed railway system.
