The results of the 2013 WEC World Energy Resources survey show that there are more energy resources in the world today than 20 years ago, or ever before. ► It is obvious that moving away from fossil fuels will take years and decades, as coal, oil and gas will remain the main energy resources in many countries.
The energy industry has been able to meet this growth globally assisted by continuous increases in reserves’ assessments and improving energy production and consumption technologies. The results of the 2013 WEC World Energy Resources survey show that there are more energy resources in the world today than 20 years ago, or ever before.
The new energy economy depicted in the NZE is a collaborative one in which countries demonstrate a shared focus on securing the necessary reductions in emissions, while minimising and taking precautions against new energy security risks.
The share of bioenergy in TPES has been estimated at about 10% in 1990. Between 1990 and 2010 bioenergy supply has increased from 907 to 1240 Mtoe as a result of growing energy demand. New policies to increase the share of renewable energy and indigenous energy resources are also driving demand.
The Energy Institute is, as of 2023, the home of the Statistical Review of World Energy, published previously for more than 70 years by bp. The Statistical Review analyses data on world energy markets from the prior year. It has been providing timely, comprehensive and objective data to the energy community since 1952.
