IEA Projects Energy Demand And Transitions

The International Energy Agency's 2025 World Energy Outlook projects shifting long-term energy trends, with 2050 population projections falling by about 100 million, rising global energy demand concentrated outside advanced economies, and sharp increases in electric vehicle adoption (including nearly 50 million two- and three-wheelers annually by 2035). The report also expects fossil fuels to plateau through 2050 while identifying coal reductions as the largest near-term emissions opportunity.
