Topic
Global Energy Outlook - View to 2050
Abstract
This talk will be discussing ExxonMobil’s insights with respect to future of energy out to the year 2050.
For decades, ExxonMobil has published an Outlook that describes global supply and demand for energy and energy-related products headed in the future.
Over this time, the Global Outlook has become a foundational piece of research for the company. ExxonMobil employs a dedicated team of experts with deep subject-matter expertise in energy and product markets to make projections decades ahead out to the year 2050.
The Global Outlook serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, it establishes the basis for our long-term business planning. The energy business is long-term by nature and understanding what the world will look like in coming decades helps to plan and deploy capital wisely.
Yet the Global Outlook serves a broader purpose as well. Energy and energy products are inseparable from modern life. Access to affordable and reliable energy drives unprecedented economic progress and improved living standards. They also contribute to global emissions. Our Global Outlook provides important insights on the economic advantages and environmental considerations that ally play a part in the future of energy.
The talk will discuss the projections at the heart of the Global Outlook which represents ExxonMobil’s most likely view of the world in 2050, based on the analysis of a variety of data sources and long-term assessments of market fundamentals, economic trends, technology advancements, consumer behavior and climate-related public policy.
The talk will discuss in detail five key takeaways:
- All energy types will remain in the mix
- Renewables will grow the fastest
- Coal will decline the most
- Under any credible scenario, oil and natural gas remain essential
- Lower-carbon technology needs policy support to grow rapidly until it can be supported by market forces
