Key findings in the IEO2011 Reference case


World energy consumption increases by 53% between 2008 and 2035 with half of the increase attributed to China and India

Renewables are the worlds fastest-growing energy source, at 2.8% per year; renewables share of world energy grows to roughly 15% in 2035 Fossil fuels continue to supply almost 80% of world energy use in 2035
Liquid fuels remain the largest energy source worldwide through 2035, but the oil share of total energy declines to 28% in 2035, as sustained high oil prices dampen demand and encourage fuel switching where possible and modest use of liquid biofuels

Howard Gruenspecht CSIS, September 19, 2011

Key findings in the IEO2011 Reference case (continued)


Increasing supplies of unconventional natural gas support growth in projected worldwide gas use. Global natural gas consumption grows by 1.6% per year, and projected natural gas use in 2035 is 8 percent higher than in last years outlook Worldwide energy-related carbon dioxide emissions rise 43 percent between 2008 and 2035, reaching 43.2 billion metric tons in 2035
