The latest edition of the World Energy Outlook, issued by IEA, sees broad transformations in the global energy landscape and predicts increase on the demand for oil, mostly because of the lack of easy alternatives to oil in road freight, aviation and petrochemicals.

Costa Cruises released its 2015 Sustainability Report detailing the company’s sustainability efforts based on responsible innovation and the creation of value which enabled it to meet its corporate goal in the environmental field, to reduce its energy consumption by 4.8 percent year on year and its carbon footprint by 2.3 percent year on year in 2015.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that U.S. petroleum and other liquid fuels production, which in addition to crude oil and condensate production includes natural gas plant liquids derived from natural gas processing as well as biofuels and volume gain at refineries, is projected to grow from 14.8 million barrels/day (b/d) in 2015 to 18.6 million b/d in 2040 in its Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016) Reference case.

According to US Energy Information Administration, three fossil fuels—petroleum, natural gas, and coal—have provided more than 80% of total U.S. energy consumption for more than 100 years.

According to BP’s Energy Outlook, the growth rate of carbon emissions more than halves, driven by faster efficiency gains and the changing fuel mix.

According to BP’s Energy Outlook, energy consumption is expected to increase by 34% between 2014 and 2035. The extra energy is required because of the expected growth in the world economy as well as the rising global population.

ExxonMobil’s new report ''The Outlook for Energy: A view to 2040'' forecasts that global CO2 emissions are likely to peak around 2030, and then begin declining. In coming decades, although populations and living standards will rise significantly, ongoing improvements to energy efficiency – and increasing efforts to use lower-carbon fuels wherever practical – will slow the growth in energy-related CO2 emissions.
