Core Insights - The global energy landscape is undergoing a fundamental transformation, with a significant reduction in carbon emissions expected alongside a doubling of global GDP from 2023 to 2050 [2][5][58] - Oil and gas will continue to play crucial roles in the energy mix, but their dominance will shift as renewable energy sources gain traction [6][9][32] Oil Market Dynamics - Oil consumption is projected to remain stable in the near term, with daily consumption at 101.8 million barrels, primarily driven by road transportation and petrochemical feedstock [6][10] - By 2050, oil's role as a feedstock is expected to account for approximately 45% of total oil demand in a low-carbon scenario [9] - OPEC+ is anticipated to increase its market share from around 50% to 60% by 2050, as non-OPEC+ countries, particularly the U.S., face production declines [11][16] Natural Gas Outlook - Natural gas is expected to become the largest fossil fuel by 2050, with its share in primary energy reaching 27% under the current trajectory [17][22] - LNG is projected to see significant growth, with global exports expected to increase by over 50% by 2035, driven by demand from Asia [22] - In a low-carbon scenario, natural gas demand will decline sharply, with its share dropping to 15% by 2050 [17][33] Coal Consumption Trends - Coal is expected to peak in the late 2020s and decline thereafter, with a projected consumption drop of over 5% by 2035, primarily due to increased renewable energy adoption in China [23][26] - By 2050, coal's share in primary energy could fall to 15% under the current trajectory and to 5% in a low-carbon scenario [26] Renewable Energy Growth - Renewable energy is set to dominate the energy landscape, with its share expected to reach 28% by 2050 under the current trajectory and 56% in a low-carbon scenario [32][33] - Wind and solar power are projected to meet over 80% of new electricity demand by 2035, with their share of global electricity generation exceeding 50% by 2050 [30][31] Nuclear Energy Development - Nuclear energy is expected to experience a resurgence, with China becoming the largest producer by 2035, contributing approximately 70% of global growth [54][57] - In a low-carbon scenario, global nuclear power generation could more than double by 2050 [57] Emerging Technologies - Low-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are identified as key solutions for decarbonizing high-emission sectors, although large-scale adoption is not expected until after 2035 [40][41][46] - The demand for low-carbon hydrogen is projected to reach 7.5 million tons by 2050, with significant applications in various industries [42]
