Just like EIA or IEA, oil firms have their own energy outlooks. Exxon's Energy Outlook can be downloaded from their website.




  • Energy demand forecasts are down from 1.3% to 1.2% in this study

  • Fossil fuels will provide 80% of global energy demand by 2030

  • Power generation will see the fastest growth

  • Energy for transportation: Flat in developed countries, doubles in developing ones

  • CO2 emissions rise 30% from 2005 to 2030
