World Energy Outlook 2024

Background information

The IEA's flagship World Energy Outlook, published every year, is the most authoritative global source of energy analysis and projections. It identifies and explores the biggest trends in energy demand and supply, as well as what they mean for energy security, emissions and economic development.

The World Energy Outlook covers the whole energy system, using a scenario-based approach to highlight the central choices, consequences and contingencies that lie ahead. It also illustrates how the course of the energy system might be affected by changing key variables, including the energy policies adopted by governments around the world.
