What might the energy system of 2100 look like?

After the launch of the first Statistical Review of World Energy 75 years ago, the world is 74 years away from the end of the century. That it is in a state of perpetual flux, hasn’t inhibited speculation about what the future holds.

Why the IEA is boosting focus on Southeast Asia’s energy transition

The International Energy Agency (IEA) opened its first regional office outside Paris at the end of 2024.
