\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In our International Energy Outlook 2023 (IEO2023), we project that global energy-related CO2 emissions will increase by 2050 in a number of IEO2023 cases as global population growth and higher living standards push growth in energy consumption beyond advances in energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In all IEO2023 cases, we expect global primary energy consumption to increase through 2050. Our expectations of global population growth, increased regional manufacturing, and higher living standards indicate that global energy consumption will grow faster than advances in energy efficiency. Non-fossil fuel-based resources, including nuclear and renewables, produce more energy through 2050, but in most of the IEO2023 cases we examined, that growth is not sufficient to reduce global energy-related CO2 emissions under current laws and regulations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our IEO2023, we explore long-term world energy trends and present an outlook for energy markets through 2050. We use different scenarios, called cases, to understand how varying assumptions about technological advancement and economic growth affect energy trends. The IEO2023 Reference case\u2014which serves as a baseline, or benchmark\u2014and six side cases consider only the laws and regulations adopted through March 2023. The six side cases in IEO2023 explore differing assumptions of economic growth, crude oil prices, and technology costs.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. projections in IEO2023 are the published projections in the Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023), which assumed that U.S. laws and regulations as of November 2022 remain unchanged.<\/em>
Full story<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is particularly significant is that emissions and consumption of fossil fuel remain effectively at least as high as now across all scenarios. The lowest in terms of fossil fuels is LM \u2013 Low Economic Growth Case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis is clearly deep, and I suspect a lot more realistic than the fantasies peddled by the IEA.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
