The Future of Global Energy Demand: Challenges and Solutions

⚡️ Renewable energy, especially solar energy, could contribute between 20% and 30% to the global energy mix by 2050.

🌍 Fossil fuels are projected to remain the dominant resource for energy production until 2050.

💡 By 2050, there is expected to be a doubling of energy demand with a larger share of electricity in the energy mix.

🌍 Greenhouse gas emissions could double or quadruple by 2050.

💡 Lack of a climate framework is a concern for global energy leaders.

⚙️ Energy markets are becoming more complex due to policy changes and technological innovation.

💰 High energy prices and volatility are major challenges in the absence of a clear CO2 price path.

📊 Current business models struggle to ensure competitiveness and affordable energy in the future.

🔄 Political and regulatory risks threaten investment in energy infrastructure and innovation.

🔋 Energy efficiency is a priority but requires a longer-term approach.

🌍 The world's energy intensity needs to be significantly reduced through investments, innovation, and technical standards.

🔌 Providing access to energy for the growing population is crucial to avoid millions of people lacking basic forms of energy in the future.

💡 Identifying stable policies, addressing the energy trilemma, and mobilizing capital are necessary for achieving sustainable energy solutions.

🌍 Ensuring secure, affordable, and environmentally sensitive energy is crucial for the development and prosperity of a country.

🔐 Perspectives on the urgency of energy pillars vary, as shown by the trilemma and energy sustainability index.

🔄 In a world of uncertainties and changes, we need to evaluate how today's policies, markets, and technologies can deliver tomorrow's sustainable energy.
