World energy outlook 2015

Big questions abound in global energy in 2015:
- Could oil prices stay lower for longer? What would it take for this to happen
and what would it mean for energy security and for the energy transition?
-
India is set for a period of rapid, sustained growth in energy demand: how
could this re-shape the energy scene?
- What do new climate pledges mean for the way that the world meets its
rising needs for energy?
- What are the implications of the rising coverage of energy efficiency
policies and the growing competitiveness of renewables ?
- Is the unconventional gas revolution going to go global or to remain a
North American phenomenon?
These issues - and many more - are discussed here, with a special focus on
India accompanying the customary, in-depth WEO analysis of the prospects
for all fossil fuels, renewables, the power sector and energy efficiency
around the world to 2040.
