International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook 2010 Forecasts Steady Rebound and Expansion of Role of Oil and Natural Gas Production and Use Over Next Two and a Half Decades Even If Nations Shirk on Pledges to Help the Environment and Cut Subsidies; LNG Trade Is Poised to Fill Gaps

摘要

This year's edition of the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook (WEO) sets out long-term projections of energy demand and supply, related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and investment requirements, using lEA's World Energy Model (WEM). The projections have been extended from 2030 to 2035. The last year for which comprehensive historical data is available is 2008; however, preliminary data was available in some cases for 2009 and was incorporated into the projections.
