Energy review: the world will need all the energy it can get

During the last two months two major reports were released reviewing world energy. First was the Energy Institute’s (EI) ‘Statistical review of world energy 2024’ published in June, followed by BP’s ‘World energy outlook 2024’ published in July.

The two reports are “instrumental in providing comprehensive data on global oil, gas and coal production and consumption, as well as on carbon dioxide emissions and renewable energy.” Together they provide a comprehensive picture of where world energy is and where it is going.
