6、ias continued war in Ukraine have global attention sharply focused on some of the worlds most important energy-producing regions.While some of the acute impacts of the global energy crisis have receded,geopolitical uncertainty is exposing the underlying fragilities of the global energy system,regard
7、less of technology or geography.Energy infrastructure is also facing increasing risks from extreme weather events that are becoming an all too common aspect of life for people around the world.Too often,the worst impacts of these crises are reserved for the poorest in societies,especially in emergin
8、g and developing economies.Today,the greatest energy injustice is the hundreds of millions of people,mostly in Africa,who still lack access to basic energy services such as electricity or safe stoves for cooking.With all these issues front of mind,energy security is again a major theme of this years
9、 World Energy Outlook(WEO).In our fast-changing world,the concept of energy security goes well beyond safeguarding against traditional risks to oil and natural gas supplies,as important as that remains for the global economy.It also means ensuring access to affordable energy supplies;anticipating em
10、erging risks in the electricity sector;shoring up supply chains for clean energy technologies and the critical minerals required to make them;and tackling the rising threats that extreme weather events pose to energy systems.All these areas are key priorities for the IEAs day-to-day work.To advance
11、the global discussion on these issues,the IEA is convening a major International Summit on the Future of Energy Security in the second quarter of 2025,hosted in London by the UK Government,to build a common understanding of the importance of energy security and what it takes to truly deliver it in t
12、he context of clean energy transitions.The analysis in this years Outlook reinforces my long-held conviction that energy security and climate action go hand-in-hand:the world does not need to choose between ensuring reliable energy supplies and addressing the climate crisis.This is because deploying
13、 cost-competitive clean energy technologies represents a lasting solution not only for bringing down emissions,but also for reducing reliance on fuels that have been prone to volatility and disruption.The latest Outlook also confirms that the contours of a new,more electrified energy system are beco
14、ming increasingly evident,with major implications on how we meet rising demand for energy services.Clean electricity is the future,and one of the striking findings of this Outlook is how fast demand for electricity is set to rise,with the equivalent of the electricity use of the worlds ten largest c
15、ities being added to global demand each year.This WEO highlights,once again,the choices that can move the energy system in a safer and more sustainable direction.I urge decision makers around the world to use this analysis to understand how the energy landscape is changing,and how to accelerate this

71、iddle East and Russias ongoing war in Ukraine underscore the continued energy security risks that the world faces.Some of the immediate effects of the global energy crisis had started to recede in 2023,but the risk of further disruptions is now very high.The experience of the last few years shows ho
72、w quickly dependencies can turn into vulnerabilities;a lesson that applies also to clean energy supply chains that have high levels of market concentration.Markets for traditional fuels and for clean technologies are becoming more fragmented:since 2020,almost 200 trade measures affecting clean energ
73、y technologies most of them restrictive have been introduced around the world,compared with 40 in the preceding five-year period.Fragility in todays energy markets is a reminder of the abiding importance of energy security the foundational and central mission of the International Energy Agency(IEA)a
74、nd the ways that more efficient,cleaner energy systems can reduce energy security risks.The increasingly visible impacts of climate change,the momentum behind clean energy transitions,and the characteristics of clean energy technologies are all changing what it means to have secure energy systems.A
75、comprehensive approach to energy security therefore needs to extend beyond traditional fuels to cover the secure transformation of the electricity sector and the resilience of clean energy supply chains.Energy security and climate action are inextricably linked:extreme weather events,intensified by
76、decades of high emissions,are already posing profound energy security risks.Clean energy transitions have accelerated sharply in recent years,shaped by government policies and industrial strategies,but there is more near-term uncertainty than usual over how these policies and strategies will evolve.
77、Countries representing half of global energy demand are holding elections in 2024,and energy and climate issues have been prominent themes for voters that have been buffeted by high fuel and electricity prices,and by floods and heatwaves.Yet energy policies and climate targets,influential though the
78、y are,are not the only forces behind the continued rise of clean energy.There are strong cost drivers,as well as intense competition for leadership in clean energy sectors that are major sources of innovation,economic growth and employment.More than ever,the energy outlook is complex,multifaceted an
79、d defies a single view on how the future might unfold.Robust,independent analysis and data-driven insights are vital to navigate todays energy uncertainties Reflecting todays uncertainties,our three main scenarios are complemented by sensitivity cases for renewables,electric mobility,liquefied natur
80、al gas(LNG)and how heatwaves,efficiency policies and the rise of artificial intelligence(AI)might affect electricity demand.The scenarios and sensitivity cases illustrate different pathways that the energy sector could follow,the levers that decision-makers can use to reach them,and their implicatio
81、ns for energy markets,security and emissions,and for peoples lives and livelihoods.The Stated Policies Scenario(STEPS)provides a sense of the energy sectors direction of travel today,based on the latest market data,technology costs and in-depth analysis of the prevailing IEA.CC BY 4.0.16 Internation
82、al Energy Agency|World Energy Outlook 2024 policy settings in countries around the world.The STEPS also provides the backdrop for the upside and downside sensitivity cases.The Announced Pledges Scenario(APS)examines what would happen if all national energy and climate targets made by governments,inc
83、luding net zero goals,are met in full and on time.The Net Zero Emissions by 2050(NZE)Scenario maps out an increasingly narrow path to reach net zero emissions by mid-century in a way that limits global warming to 1.5 C.Geopolitical risks abound but underlying market balances are easing,setting the s
84、tage for intense competition between different fuels and technologies The next phase in the journey to a safer and more sustainable energy system is set to take place in a new energy market context,marked by continued geopolitical hazards but also by relatively abundant supply of multiple fuels and
85、technologies.Our detailed analysis of market balances and supply chains brings an overhang of oil and LNG supply into view during the second half of the 2020s,alongside a large surfeit of manufacturing capacity for some key clean energy technologies,notably for solar PV and batteries.These provide s
86、omething of a buffer against further market disruptions,but also imply downward pressure on prices and a period of increased competition among suppliers.The rapid rise in clean energy deployment in recent years came during a period of price volatility for fossil fuels.Clean technology costs are comi
87、ng down,but maintaining and accelerating momentum behind their deployment in a lower fuel-price world is a different proposition.How consumer choices and government policies play out will have huge consequences for the future of the energy sector,and for tackling climate change.How fast will clean e
88、nergy transitions unfold?Clean energy is entering the energy system at an unprecedented rate,including more than 560 gigawatts(GW)of new renewables capacity added in 2023,but deployment is far from uniform across technologies and countries.Investment flows to clean energy projects are approaching US
89、D 2 trillion each year,almost double the combined amount spent on new oil,gas and coal supply and costs for most clean technologies are resuming a downward trend after rising in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.This helps renewable power generation capacity rise from 4 250 GW today to nearly 1
90、0 000 GW in 2030 in the STEPS,short of the tripling target set at COP28 but more than enough,in aggregate,to cover the growth in global electricity demand,and to push coal-fired generation into decline.Together with nuclear power,which is the subject of renewed interest in many countries,low-emissio
91、ns sources are set to generate more than half of the worlds electricity before 2030.China stands out:it accounted for 60%of the new renewable capacity added worldwide in 2023 and Chinas solar PV generation alone is on course to exceed,by the early 2030s,the total electricity demand of the United Sta
92、tes today.There are open questions,in China and elsewhere,about how quickly and efficiently new renewable capacity can be integrated into power systems,and whether grid expansions and permitting times keep pace.Policy uncertainty and a high cost of capital are holding back clean energy projects in m
93、any developing economies.Recent clean energy trends in advanced economies present a mixed picture,with accelerations in some areas accompanied by slowdowns in others,including a IEA.CC BY 4.0.Executive Summary 17 large fall in heat pump sales in Europe in the first half of 2024.Progress on the other
94、 headline commitments from COP28 is lagging:the goal of doubling the global rate of energy efficiency improvements could provide larger emissions reductions by 2030 than anything else,but looks far out of reach under todays policy settings.Tried and tested policies and technologies are likewise avai
95、lable to deliver a major reduction in methane emissions from fossil fuel operations,but abatement efforts have been patchy and uneven.Clean energy momentum remains strong enough to bring a peak in demand for each of the fossil fuels by 2030 Demand for energy services is rising rapidly,led by emergin
96、g and developing economies,but the continued progress of transitions means that,by the end of the decade,the global economy can continue to grow without using additional amounts of oil,natural gas or coal.This has not been the case in recent years:despite record clean energy deployment,two-thirds of
97、 the increase in global energy demand in 2023 was met by fossil fuels,pushing energy-related CO2 emissions to another record high.In the STEPS,the largest sources of rising demand for energy are,in descending order,India,Southeast Asia,the Middle East and Africa.But growth in clean energy and struct
98、ural changes in the global economy,particularly in China,are starting to temper overall energy demand growth,not least because a more electrified,renewables-rich system is inherently more efficient than one dominated by fossil fuel combustion(in which a lot of the energy generated is lost as waste h
99、eat).Outcomes in individual years can vary in practice depending on broader economic or weather conditions,or in hydropower output,but the direction of travel under todays policy settings is clear.Continued growth in global energy demand post-2030 can be met solely with clean energy.The world has th
100、e need and the capacity to go much faster Ample clean energy manufacturing capacity creates scope for faster transitions that move towards alignment with national and global net zero goals,but this means addressing imbalances in todays investment flows and clean energy supply chains.Over the past fi
101、ve years,annual solar capacity additions quadrupled to 425 GW,but annual manufacturing capacity is set for a sixfold increase to more than 1 100 GW,a level that if deployed in full would be very close to the amounts needed in the NZE Scenario.There is a similar story of plentiful manufacturing capac
102、ity for lithium-ion batteries.Bringing these technologies at scale to developing economies would be transformative for the global outlook,helping rising demand to be met in a sustainable way and allowing global emissions not only to peak in the coming years,as they do in the STEPS,but also to enter
103、a meaningful decline,which they do not do in the STEPS.This requires concerted efforts to facilitate investment in developing economies by addressing risks that push up the cost of capital.Periods of ample supply make life difficult for new entrants,but improving the resilience and diversity of the
104、supply chains for clean energy technologies and for critical minerals remains an essential task.For the moment,these supply chains are heavily concentrated in China.Demand for electricity is taking off,but how high will it go?The contours of a new,more electrified energy system are coming into focus
105、 as global electricity demand soars.Electricity use has grown at twice the pace of overall energy IEA.CC BY 4.0.18 International Energy Agency|World Energy Outlook 2024 demand over the last decade,with two-thirds of the global increase in electricity demand over the last ten years coming from China.
106、Electricity demand growth is set to accelerate further in the years ahead,adding the equivalent of Japanese demand to global electricity use each year in the STEPS,and rising even more quickly in scenarios that meet national and global net zero goals.The projections for global electricity demand in
107、STEPS are 6%,or 2 200 terawatt-hours(TWh),higher in 2035 than in last years Outlook,driven by light industrial consumption,electric mobility,cooling,and data centres and AI.Rising data centre electricity use,linked in part to growing use of AI,is already having some strong local impacts,but the pote
108、ntial implications of AI for energy are broader and include improved systems coordination in the power sector and shorter innovation cycles.There are more than 11 000 data centres registered worldwide and they are often spatially concentrated,so local effects on electricity markets can be substantia

110、ater variations in projected electricity demand than an upside case for data centres.The combination of rising incomes and increasing global temperatures generate more than 1 200 TWh of extra global demand for cooling by 2035 in the STEPS,an amount greater than the entire Middle Easts electricity us

112、switching over to electricity:the countrys oil use for road transport is projected to decline in the STEPS,although offset by a large increase in oil use as a petrochemical feedstock.India becomes the main source of oil demand growth,adding almost 2 million barrels per day(mb/d)to 2035.Cost-competit
113、ive EVs many of them from Chinese manufacturers are making inroads in a range of markets,although there is uncertainty over how fast their share will grow.EVs currently have a share of around 20%in new car sales worldwide,and this rises towards 50%by 2030 in the STEPS(a level already being achieved
114、in China this year),by which time EVs displace around 6 mb/d of oil demand.If the market share of electric cars were to rise more slowly,remaining below 40%by the end of the decade,this would add 1.2 mb/d to projected oil demand in 2030,but there would still be a visible flattening in the global tra
115、jectory.Additional near-term oil supply is coming mainly from the Americas the United States,Brazil,Guyana and Canada and this is putting pressure on the market management strategies of the OPEC+grouping.The STEPS sees prices around USD 75-80 per barrel,but this implies further production restraint
116、and an increase in spare capacity,which is already at record levels of around 6 mb/d.Who will ride the wave of new LNG?An increase of nearly 50%in global LNG export capacity is on the horizon,led by the United States and Qatar,but the prices that many suppliers need to recover their investments may
117、not entice developing economies to switch to natural gas at scale:something has to give.IEA.CC BY 4.0.Executive Summary 19 Around 270 billion cubic metres(bcm)of annualised new LNG capacity has been approved and,if delivered according to announced schedules,is set to enter into operation over the pe
118、riod to 2030,a huge addition to global supply.In the STEPS,LNG demand grows by more than 2.5%per year to 2035,an upward revision from last years outlook and faster than the rise in overall gas demand.Europe and China have the import infrastructure to absorb significantly more gas,but their scope to
119、clear the market is constrained by their investments in clean energy.Gas-importing emerging and developing economies would generally need prices at around USD 3-5/MBtu to make gas attractive as a large-scale alternative to renewables and coal,but delivered costs for most new export projects need to
120、average around USD 8/MBtu to cover their investments and operation.If gas markets are to absorb all the prospective new LNG supply and to continue to grow past 2030,this would require some combination of even lower clearing prices,higher electricity demand and slower energy transitions with less win
121、d and solar,lower rates of building efficiency improvements,and fewer heat pumps than projected in the STEPS.However,any acceleration of global energy transitions towards the outcomes projected in the APS or NZE Scenario,or a wild card for supply like a large new Russia-China gas supply deal(which w
122、e do not include in the STEPS),would exacerbate the LNG glut.Lower fuel prices ease concerns about affordability and industrial competitiveness in fuel-importing economies The new market context may provide some breathing space for fuel-importing countries and regions such as Europe,and South and So

124、ce levels promises some welcome relief,particularly in fuel-importing countries.Lower natural gas prices should lift some of Europes gloom about its industrial competitiveness,although Europe still faces a sizeable structural energy price disadvantage compared with the United States and China.The br
125、eathing space from fuel price pressures can provide policymakers with room to focus on stepping up investment in renewables,grids,storage and efficiency;facilitating the removal of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies;and allowing developing economies to regain the momentum that was lost in recent year
126、s behind the provision of access to electricity and clean cooking fuels.However,cheaper natural gas can also slow structural changes by diminishing the economic case for consumers to switch to cleaner technologies,and by making it more difficult to close the cost gap with alternatives like biomethan

133、and affordability.Lack of access to modern energy is the most fundamental inequity in todays energy system,with 750 million people predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa remaining without access to electricity and more than 2 billion without clean cooking fuels.The outlook for access projects is improv

141、Chapter 1 Overview and key findings Where do we go from here?There are three overarching and inter-related themes for this years Outlook.The first is energy security,corresponding to the longstanding core of the IEAs mandate as well as the imperatives of the present given escalating risks in the Mid
142、dle East.The second relates to the prospects for clean energy transitions,which have accelerated rapidly in recent years,but which need to move much faster to meet climate goals.A third theme is uncertainty,an ever-present factor in any forward-looking analysis but particularly visible this year:our
143、 Outlook includes several sensitivity cases on key factors affecting oil,gas and electricity demand in the Stated Policies Scenario(STEPS).The potential for near-term disruption to oil and gas supply is high due to conflict in the Middle East.Around 20%of todays global oil and liquefied natural gas(
144、LNG)supplies flow through the Strait of Hormuz,a maritime chokepoint in the region.However,while geopolitical risks remain elevated,an easing in underlying market balances and prices is on the horizon as slowing oil demand growth in the STEPS sees spare crude oil production capacity rise to 8 millio
145、n barrels per day by 2030.A wave of new LNG projects is set to add almost 50%to available export capacity by 2030.In all our scenarios,growth in global energy demand slows thanks to efficiency gains,electrification and a rapid buildout of renewables.In the STEPS by 2030,nearly every other car sold i
146、n the world is electric,although delays in the roll-out of charging infrastructure or in policy implementation could lead to slower growth.Clean energy meets virtually all growth in energy demand in aggregate in the STEPS between 2023 and 2035,leading to an overall peak in demand for all three fossi
147、l fuels before 2030,although trends vary widely across countries at different stages of economic and energy development.Electricity demand grows much faster than overall energy demand,thanks to existing uses,notably cooling,and new ones such as electric mobility and data centres.Renewables lead the
148、expansion in electricity generation,with sufficient speed to meet in aggregate all the increases in demand.There is scope to go even faster:todays solar manufacturing capacity hovers around 1 100 GW per year,potentially allowing for deployment almost three-times higher than in 2023.The share of clea
149、n energy investment in emerging market and developing economies outside of China remains stuck at 15%of the total,even though these economies account for two-thirds of the global population and one-third of global GDP.A range of new business models and a policy push in some countries ensure that an

154、w and key findings 23 1 Introduction After a period of extreme turbulence caused first by the Covid-19 pandemic and then the global energy crisis that was intensified by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation(herein after Russia)in 2022,this edition of the World Energy Outlook
155、again unfolds against a backdrop of acute geopolitical tensions.Russias war in Ukraine continues alongside the clear risk of escalating conflict in the Middle East.The range of possible outcomes and the risk of near-term oil price rises is large.As ever,energy security is a major theme of this years
156、 analysis.A second theme for this Outlook is the momentum behind clean energy transitions amid rising evidence of the risks to the global climate posed by emissions.Structural changes in energy production and consumption have gained speed over recent years,especially in advanced economies and the Pe
157、oples Republic of China(herein after China),raising hopes that the world can soon put global energy-related emissions into decline and accelerate the journey towards a net zero emissions system.We examine the state-of-play in detail,the implications for fossil fuels,and what it would take to align t
158、he trajectory with national and global energy and climate goals.A third theme is uncertainty.Voters in countries accounting for half of global energy demand went to the polls in 2024 in national or regional elections,with energy and climate issues prominent in many campaigns.The speed at which clean
159、 technologies make their way into the market is likewise subject to uncertainty,as is the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.This edition of the Outlook therefore includes a number of sensitivity cases,against the backdrop of the Stated Policies Scenario(STEPS),alongside the scenario
160、modelling of trajectories that meet national and global net zero emissions targets.After a brief overview of the main scenario results,the bulk of this chapter explores these themes through a series of questions,covering the following issues:Against a backdrop of heightened international tensions,wh

165、een met by clean energy,i.e.renewables in the power and end-use sectors,nuclear,and low-emissions fuels,including carbon capture,utilisation and storage(CCUS).In advanced economies,overall energy demand declined on average by 0.5%per year over the past decade.Oil demand peaked in this grouping in 20
166、05,coal has been in structural decline since 2008 while natural gas,in aggregate,has ceased to grow.Nuclear has fallen around one-half percentage point per year,while renewables have increased by 3%per year since 2013.In emerging market and developing economies a grouping that includes almost 85%of
167、the worlds population energy demand increased at around 2.6%per year over the last decade.The underlying drivers are a rise in the population of more than 720 million people,a 50%rise in the size of the economy and a 40%increase in industrial output.Floorspace in buildings has increased by 40 000 sq
168、uare kilometres,enough to cover the entirety of the Netherlands.With this rapid rate of development,clean energy has to work harder to displace oil,gas and coal in emerging market and developing economies than in advanced economies.Figure 1.1 Global energy mix by scenario to 2050 IEA.CC BY 4.0.STEPS

172、re 1.1).Increasing reductions in coal demand means it is overtaken by natural gas in the global energy mix by 2030.Clean energy grows more than total energy demand between 2023 and 2035.Led by surging solar photovoltaic(PV)and wind power,clean energy becomes the largest source of energy in the mid-2
173、030s.Although the STEPS sees a threefold increase in renewables that brings fossil fuel use down from 80%of total energy demand in 2023 to 58%in 2050,this falls far short of the step change that occurs in the Announced Pledges Scenario(APS)and the Net Zero Emissions by 2050(NZE)Scenario,especially t
174、he latter.In both these scenarios,renewables begin to rapidly eat into the fossil fuel market share.By 2035,clean energy meets 40%of global energy demand in the APS,and this rises to nearly three-quarters by 2050.In the NZE Scenario,clean energy meets 90%of global energy demand in 2050.Around one-th
175、ird of the remaining fossil fuel demand in the NZE Scenario is fully abated,around half is used as a feedstock or in other non-energy use,and the remainder is offset by direct air capture,negative emissions from bioenergy or other forms of carbon removal.1.1.2 Total final consumption The energy inte

179、ion of gross domestic product(GDP)growth has been faster than the rate of energy demand growth,reflecting improvements in the energy intensity of GDP.These improvements in energy intensity continue and even accelerate in our scenarios:global GDP continues to expand,but it takes steadily less energy
180、to fuel this growth(Box 1.1).Electric technologies such as heat pumps and electric vehicles deliver energy services more efficiently than those reliant on the direct combustion of fossil fuels,and efficiency gains and electrification also arrest further growth in per capita energy consumption in eme
181、rging market and developing economies,despite higher levels of ownership of vehicles and appliances such as air conditioners.Box 1.1 What factors explain slowing growth in global energy demand?Over the past decade,global energy demand increased at an annual average rate of 1.4%.In the STEPS,this slo
182、ws to around 0.5%per year on average between 2023 and 2035,three-times slower than in the past.This is not a result of slower economic growth:global GDP growth is expected to average 3%annually between 2023-2035,similar to the previous decade.Underlying energy services demand,such as for lighting,co
183、oling and mobility,is projected to continue to rise at least as fast as in the past,even though there is a distinct slowdown in global population growth:between 2023 and 2035,annual population growth is around 85%of the average level seen between 2013 and 2023.The slowdown in global energy demand in
184、 our scenarios is driven by a combination of three main factors.The first factor is improvements in the technical efficiency of energy use,via more efficient processes or equipment.These kinds of improvements and technological innovations are a longstanding feature of the global energy system and ar
185、e heavily influenced by policies that incentivise efficiency gains,like minimum energy performance standards or other forms of regulation.There is an uptick in the projected pace of technical efficiency improvements in our scenarios,but this is much more visible in the APS and in the NZE Scenario th
186、an in the STEPS.The second explanatory factor relates to changes in the structure of the global economy towards the provision of services,which require less energy,and away from energy-intensive sectors.Here we see an evolution in future trends compared with the past,as growth rates for energy-inten
187、sive materials such as steel and aluminium are projected to moderate compared with the rates seen in the last decade.This is due in part to structural changes in Chinas economy.The third factor,which is increasingly influential in our scenarios,relates to the effect on energy demand of introducing m
188、ore renewables and more electrified end-uses into the energy system,as these are inherently more efficient than processes based on fossil fuel combustion(which generates a lot of waste heat,also known as conversion losses).Unlike fossil fuels,most renewables are considered 100%efficient,i.e.conversi
189、on losses are not measured because the resources are directly harnessed from naturally occurring IEA.CC BY 4.0.Chapter 1|Overview and key findings 27 1 sources of energy,such as sunlight,wind and water,without the need for extraction or combustion processes.As renewables take a larger share of elect
190、ricity generation,the total amount of primary energy inputs required to meet electricity demand from households,businesses and public services decreases.The rising share of electricity in total final consumption also has a dampening effect on energy demand growth because it displaces the direct use
191、of gas,coal and oil,all of which typically involve energy conversion losses.Global final energy consumption currently stands at 445 exajoules(EJ).In the STEPS,this rises steadily to over 530 EJ by 2050.In the APS and NZE Scenario,total final consumption starts to fall back(Figure 1.3).It is 3%lower
192、than current levels of demand by 2035 in the APS,and 15%lower in the NZE Scenario.In the APS,energy efficiency gains limit growth in consumption even as living standards continue to rise,thanks to additional retrofit targets,broader electrification,more stringent fuel economy standards in transport,
193、and more rapid efficiency gains in industry.In the NZE Scenario,year-on-year energy intensity improvements more than double by 2035:this reflects both faster electrification and a more rapid phase out of traditional use of biomass,which is largely replaced by more efficient sources such as electrici
194、ty and liquefied petroleum gas(LPG).Behavioural changes also play a role.Figure 1.3 Total final consumption by energy source in selected sectors by scenario,2023 and 2050 IEA.CC BY 4.0.Electricity increases its share of TFC in all sectors,while additional efficiency measures in the APS and NZE Scena

200、.1.1.3 CO2 emissions CO2 emissions peak in all scenarios before 2030,but the subsequent rate of decline varies considerably.In the STEPS,emissions fall 1%per year between 2030 and 2050,led by a 3%annual decline in emissions in China,where they end up at half of the current level by 2050(Figure 1.4).
201、In the APS,global emissions fall by 4%per year,and in the NZE Scenario they fall by 15%per year,three-times faster than the drop recorded in 2020 after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.The STEPS trajectory implies an average temperature increase of 2.4 degrees Celsius(C)by 2100.In the APS,the incr

207、iate price shocks from the energy crisis have abated,but escalating hostilities in the Middle East and attacks on shipping in the Red Sea serve as reminders of the potential for wider world events to cause shocks to energy markets.Existing and planned fossil fuel infrastructure expansions set to com
208、e online over the next ten years should provide some buffer against potential outages,and imply downward pressure on prices(Box 1.2).Global spare crude oil production capacity,excluding Iran and Russia,which averaged less than 3 million barrels per day(mb/d)in 2019,stands today at around 6 mb/d.If a
209、nnounced capacity additions by members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries(OPEC)proceed,the level of demand growth in the STEPS would mean spare capacity rising to 8 mb/d to 2030.For natural gas,a large new wave of LNG liquefaction projects is set to come online that is set to p
210、roduce a surplus of LNG supply over demand until 2040(section 1.6).Ample spare crude oil capacity and new LNG supplies provide buffers against the risk of sharp price shocks,but the security of fuel supplies is far from guaranteed,not least because the effectiveness of this capacity to address any s
211、hortfalls that may arise hinges on the ability of alternative sources of supply to reach an affected country or region quickly.Moreover,a general trend of increased supply concentration and rising import dependence means supply shocks if they occur have the potential to be more disruptive.Asia has b

233、policy makers to continually adjust and assess their approach to energy security.One issue of particular concern for many policy makers today is the concentration in a small number of countries of clean energy supply chains for manufacturing capacity and critical mineral mining and processing.China
234、has a very large proportion of existing manufacturing capacity for key clean energy technologies.This includes 85-95%of global manufacturing capacity for battery cathode and anode materials,more than 80%of global solar PV manufacturing capacity,and more than 75-90%of the global processing capacity f
235、or cobalt,graphite and rare earth elements.A wide range of countries are looking to bolster domestic clean energy manufacturing.Both the US Inflation Reduction Act and the EU Net Zero Industry Act include major incentives for domestic manufacturing,and around 10%of the USD 2 trillion clean energy in
236、vestment earmarked by governments around the world since 2020 comes with conditions that require local content.Some countries are also taking steps in their trade policies to address concerns about aspects of current trade in clean energy manufacturing through tariff adjustments,antidumping duties a
237、nd countervailing measures.There are some signs of success in efforts to diversify supply chains.In battery cell manufacturing,for example,announced capacity additions in Europe and the United States should be sufficient to meet the 2030 domestic deployment needs associated with their climate goals,
238、provided that all planned projects come online as scheduled.In many other clean energy supply chains,however,a large portion of planned projects are being developed IEA.CC BY 4.0.Chapter 1|Overview and key findings 33 1 in precisely the regions where most capacity is already located(Figure 1.7).For

243、ergy security risks that are emerging in clean energy and look for ways to mitigate them.However,there are some important differences between the risks for consumers associated with clean energy and those that arise from traditional fuels.With traditional fuels,a shortage in supply means that consum

247、nce of incentives for broader consumer uptake,to ensure that adequate charging infrastructure is in place and to reinforce electricity grids.Over 7 million electric cars were sold in the first-half of 2024,which represents an increase of close to 25%compared to the same period a year ago.The share o
248、f EVs in the total global car fleet is likely to approach around 5%by the end of 2024.China accounts for nearly 80%of the increase,with sales rising from more than 3 million in the first-half of 2023 to over 4 million in the first-half of 2024.Even if China is set to one side,however,the overall per
249、centage rise in sales elsewhere in the global market is over 10%.While sales in the European Union remained flat,with a decline in Germany offsetting a rise elsewhere of around 3%on average,the United Kingdom saw a 15%rise,and the United States recorded an increase of nearly 10%.Large jumps in year-
250、on-year sales also occurred in nascent EV markets such as Brazil,Indonesia,Mexico,the Caspian region and the Middle East.One important trend is the rising share of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle(PHEV)sales,which accounted for over 35%of total EV sales in the first-half of 2024.In China,the PHEV sal
251、es increase was largely driven by range-extended electric vehicles(REEVs)which have longer driving ranges due to larger batteries.This provides an average electric range of around 130 kilometres(km),compared with 80 km for a standard PHEV(BNEF,2024a).Sales of PHEVs,including REEVs,surged by 70%in Ch
252、ina,while sales of battery electric vehicles(BEVs)rose by only 15%.Similarly,in the United States PHEV sales increased by 25%,compared to just 5%for BEVs.This highlights the need for an expansion of recharging infrastructure to ease range anxiety.EV sales are anticipated to be robust over the rest o

264、022 IEA.CC BY 4.0.36 International Energy Agency|World Energy Outlook 2024 Box 1.3 Future landscape for electric vehicles Around 30 countries have set zero emissions vehicle goals or timelines to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles.In the STEPS,electric car sales reach more than 40 million
265、 globally by 2030,which means that nearly one-in-two cars sold that year will be either a battery electric or a plug-in hybrid vehicle.The number of electric car sales in the STEPS is aligned with the plans of the automotive industry.Although some automakers have recently scaled back short-term EV p
266、roduction plans,their longer-term EV plans still point to the production of well over 40 million electric cars per year by 2030.The projections in the STEPS are also in line with those of other outlooks(Figure 1.8).Figure 1.8 Global electric light-duty vehicle sales in the STEPS compared with other
267、EV outlooks,2023-2050 IEA.CC BY 4.0.Projected sales of electric light-duty vehicles in the STEPS are broadly in the middle of the range of other outlooks Note:2024e=estimated values for 2024.Sources:IEA analysis based on data from Barclays,Boston Consulting Group,BloombergNEF,DNV,Energy Information
268、Administration,EV Volumes,ExxonMobil,Goldman Sachs,McKinsey,Morgan Stanley,OPEC,Rocky Mountain Institute and Shell.As there are inevitably uncertainties surrounding the future level of EV sales,we explore a range of potential shifts in EV trends.In our sensitivity analysis,the share of electric cars
269、 in new registrations ranges from less than 40%to 50%by 2030,with key differentiators being the scale of consumer adoption,the level of government support for EVs and the rate of expansion of charging infrastructure.Depending on the pace of EV uptake and the utilisation of the electric mode of PHEVs
270、,global oil demand could vary from 101 mb/d to 103 mb/d by 2030.Similarly,global electricity demand could differ between the high and low case by around 350 terawatt-hours(TWh),highlighting the far-reaching changes that EVs could bring across the whole energy sector(See Chapter 4).25%50%75%100%20232
271、024e203020352050Other outlooksSTEPSIEA.CC BY 4.0.Chapter 1|Overview and key findings 37 1 1.3.1 Trends in the EV market Challenges and uncertainties are inevitable,but there are strong underlying reasons why EV sales are likely to continue to expand rapidly.One of the most important is that battery
272、prices are continuing to fall,prompting automakers to reduce EV sticker prices.Key automakers in the United States have reduced the price of their main models by more than USD 10 000,for example(IEA,2024a).Chinese automakers have also made price reductions of around USD 1 600 compared to 2022(BNEF,2
273、024b).European automakers are meanwhile planning to launch seven new models in 2025 priced at under USD 28 000(T&E,2024).While some automakers have adjusted their short-term targets and made slight changes to their longer term 2030 projections,their commitment to EVs remains robust across the board.
274、The same is true for the battery industry globally,which is currently experiencing consolidation rather than a reduction in plans.Although some incentive schemes have been revised,governments remain active in supporting EV uptake in a variety of ways(Table 1.1).China recently launched a new trade-in
275、 policy to encourage drivers to scrap less efficient vehicles and replace them with either electric or more efficient ones,and is looking at ways to speed development of charging infrastructure.In the European Union,stringent CO2 standards are prompting automakers to expand EV production.The United
276、States aims to increase EV uptake by providing subsidies under the Inflation Reduction Act and to support the development of charging infrastructure under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.But there is much still to do,and delays in the roll-out of charging infrastructure or in policy imple
277、mentation could lead to the market share of electric cars in 2030 being about ten percentage points lower than projected in the STEPS,though this would still mean a big increase in EV shares from current levels(see Chapter 4).1.3.2 Implications of the transition to EVs for the energy sector In energ
278、y terms,the adoption of EVs means a shift from a fossil fuel-based mobility system to one that relies much more on critical minerals,and a linking of the transport and power sectors.There are clear synergies between manufacturing batteries for EVs and for energy storage,and processes from one indust
279、ry can benefit the other.For example,EV batteries could be repurposed for storage applications.They could also support grid flexibility through smart charging,helping to optimise grid load,and through bi-directional charging,supplying power to buildings or the grid(IEA,2024b).In the STEPS,electricit
280、y demand from EVs rises from 115 TWh today to around 1 000 TWh by 2030 an amount equivalent to todays electricity demand in Japan.This increase accounts for around 15%of total global electricity demand growth.Significant as this is,the impact of EVs on the oil market is even more significant(Figure
281、1.9).Over the past decade,road transport has increased oil demand by 4.2 mb/d,accounting for more than 45%of global oil demand growth.However,oil demand for passenger cars declines by 1 mb/d from todays levels by 2030,and this is largely responsible for global oil demand reaching a peak by the IEA.C
282、C BY 4.0.38 International Energy Agency|World Energy Outlook 2024 end of this decade in the STEPS.With renewables providing an ever-increasing share of power generation,electro-mobility helps to drive the world towards its climate commitments,and EVs displace nearly 10 billion barrels of oil from 20
283、20 to 2030,avoiding a total of over 4 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide(Gt CO2)emissions in the process.Figure 1.9 Oil demand in road transport in the STEPS and savings from EVs,2010-2035 IEA.CC BY 4.0.Without EVs,projected oil demand would be 13 mb/d higher in 2035 1.3.3 Key enablers to achieve net zero
284、 emissions milestones for EVs In the STEPS,nearly one-in-two cars sold are electric by 2030.In the NZE Scenario,electric cars account for over two-thirds of sales by 2030.Achieving this level requires further movement in a number of areas.One of the most pressing is cost differentials.Despite recent
285、 price reductions,on average an electric car is USD 10 000-15 000 more expensive than a comparable conventional internal combustion engine vehicle,though this is much less of an issue in China,where over 60%of electric cars are priced below their conventional counterparts(IEA,2024a).Another critical
286、 issue is the need for extensive charging infrastructure.To achieve a two-thirds market share of electric cars,investment of nearly USD 1000 billion will be required from now until 2030,which represents a 45%increase over levels in the STEPS.A third issue is meeting the demand for batteries.Annual E
287、V battery demand reaches around 5.5 TWh by 2030 in the NZE Scenario,up from 0.8 TWh in 2023.However,the battery industry seems well-positioned to meet this escalating demand,with recent announcements and developments indicating a robust capacity to scale up production and develop technology.20 40 60

294、cooling and appliance ownership drive electricity demand growth in the buildings sector,underpinned by economic expansion.Electrification in industry is also a significant factor.Emerging market and developing economies are projected to contribute nearly 80%of growth in electricity demand to 2030 in
295、 the STEPS,with China alone making up over 45%of the global growth total(Figure 1.10).Chinas energy sector has electrified particularly fast,with electricity rising from 11%of final consumption in 2000 to 26%in 2023:a major cause was surging electricity use in the buildings sector,with growing incom
296、es leading to rapid increases in appliances and demand for space cooling,while space heating has also increasingly been electrified.Chinas demand rises further in the coming decades,with the rapid uptake of EVs being a key driver.The story in India is similar,though starting from a lower base:the sh

303、th takes place in emerging market and developing economies,where economic growth and rising incomes drive air conditioner ownership,while a warming global climate boosts demand and leads to air conditioners having to work harder to provide cooling(see Chapter 3,section 3.3.2).As well as raising over

316、,while data centre electricity demand will grow,it is likely to account for a relatively small share of total global electricity demand growth to 2030,although the sector will be more significant at the national or regional level in major data centre markets(see Chapter 4,section 4.6.1).1.4.3 Clean

319、tricity demand across the three World Energy Outlook(WEO)scenarios.The projected share of EV sales in total road vehicle sales reaches 70%in 2035 in the APS,compared with 55%in the STEPS,and this translates into a 465 TWh increase in electricity demand from road transport in the APS compared to the
320、STEPS.In the NZE Scenario,near universal adoption of EVs by 2035 means a 1 500 TWh increase compared to the STEPS.Faster uptake of heat pumps is central to efforts to boost energy efficiency and cut fossil fuel use in buildings.Although sales of heat pumps slowed in 2023 in some regions,and saw a ma

327、 energy security Many of the new energy security challenges in a decarbonising world arise in the power sector as societies come to depend more on electricity for their energy needs.There are two core elements of electricity security:the ability to ensure sufficient capacity to meet peak demand(adeq
328、uacy),and the ability to manage fluctuations in both demand and renewable energy supply(flexibility).Peak demand is projected to rise faster than overall electricity demand in all scenarios,and up to 80%faster in emerging market and developing economies by 2035 in the STEPS(Figure 1.13).Efficiency m
