Investments Required in the lEA's Central Scenario Amount to Some $33,000 Billion Over the 2010-2035 Period

摘要

The publication by the International Energy Agency (IEA) of its World Energy Outlook (WEO) in November each year is always an event that fuels debates about the key issues surrounding the world's long-term energy prospects, which in the case of the 2010 edition means the period up to 2035. The WEO incorporates a wealth of information, statistical data and analyses of the highest quality, and among the figures and forecasts included in this substantial volume, those relating to the future investments required are among the most impressive. The 2010 edition, to which MENA Energies devotes a special report (see the interview with Mr. Fatih Birol, the Chief Economist of the IEA, on pages 2-6) is no exception to this rule.
