Historic ‘turning point’ as fossil fuels show peak or plateau, says the IEA

The global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is causing profound and long-lasting changes that have the potential to hasten the transition to a more sustainable and secure energy system, according to the latest edition of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) World Energy Outlook (WEO). The report has found that, for the first time, global demand for each of the fossil fuels shows a peak or plateau across all WEO scenarios, with Russian exports in particular falling significantly as the world energy order is reshaped.

Lessons from previous energy transitions

Welcome to the first part of a three-part series exploring the implications of the recently published Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy on the pace of the energy transition from Energy Institute Chief Executive Nick Wayth FEI. In part 1, he’ll discuss how energy transitions have occurred historically; what might be the same this time and what might be different. In part 2, he’ll explore a hypothetical version of the world in which the energy transition could be taking place very differently. And finally, in part 3, he’ll try to draw some conclusions on implications for the real world.
