The World Energy Outlook 2024 explores the global energy landscape amidst rising geopolitical tensions, notably conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. This report presents various scenarios for future energy development, including Stated Policies (STEPS), Announced Pledges (APS), and Net Zero by 2050 (NZE), focusing on how these pathways can address the energy transition, climate goals, and security concerns. It examines the potential for a major shift toward clean energy, with solar and wind power playing critical roles, as well as the risks associated with reliance on fossil fuels. Key themes include the challenges of scaling up renewables, clean energy investment in developing economies, and the security of clean energy supply chains. The report also highlights the rapid growth of electricity demand, driven by emerging technologies such as electric vehicles, data centers, and artificial intelligence, and emphasizes the necessity of global cooperation to achieve net zero emissions and secure energy supplies.
