Global Energy & Climate Scenarios Through 2050
Our forecasting experts just released the 2025 edition of our in-depth look at the future of energy. This analysis leverages the last update of our three scenarios used for our projections to 2050 (components of EnerFuture information service).
Evolution of Drilling, Electrification and Clean Technologies by 2050
Since the Paris Agreement, nations have been aligned on decarbonising the economy, with energy and climate plans at the forefront. However, recent geopolitical events have disrupted this consensus, leading to divergent regional priorities and visions of independence:
- The US is doubling down on fossil fuel independence, especially since the latest elections.
- The EU is witnessing a decline in climate ambitions as defence investments surge.
- Meanwhile, China faces the persistent challenge of balancing energy demand with domestic production. To do so, China is aggressively expanding nuclear and renewable capacities to reduce oil and gas imports, while still relying on coal.
Leveraging the latest updates from EnerFuture, Enerdata’s unique database providing long-term forecasts, our modelling experts have analysed the impact of the current political context on three potential pathways for progress on climate targets. They have contextualised key decarbonisation insights concerning fossil fuel, electrification, and low-carbon technologies, across three major regions: Europe, China, and the USA.
During the webinar, our experts addressed questions such as:
- What are the current market dynamics, and how do they compare to our three scenarios?
- What levels of energy independence and associated energy budgets are projected for each scenario?
