One of the highlights of IENE’s annual national energy conference, “Energy & Development 2018” will be the presentation of IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2018”, which is published by the Paris based energy organisation on November 13One of the highlights of IENE’s annual national energy conference, "Energy & Development 2018” will be the presentation of "IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2018”, which is published by the Paris basedenergy organisation on November 13.
Athens, through IENE’s annual event, has been selected once again as one of the six capital cities where IEA’s flagship publication will be presented. The other cities include London, Brussels, Berlin, Stockholm and Madrid.The presentation at IENE’s conference, will be made on the first day of the conference, on November 22, by Mr. Kieran McNamara, a senior policy analyst at the IEA.
TheWorld Energy Outlook (WEO)is the gold standard of long-term energy analysis.The 2018 edition provides updated analysis to show what the latest data,technology trends and policy announcements might mean for the energysector to 2040. It also outlines an integrated way to meet multiple sustainabledevelopment goals: limiting the global temperature rise in line with the ParisAgreement, addressing air pollution, and ensuring universal access to energy.
These points of orientation allow for rigorous thinking about the future against a backdrop of cost reductions in key clean energy technologies, the continued vitality of shale in the United States, and the fast-changing dynamics of energy investment.
This year’s Outlook includes a special focus on electricity. The future is electrifying, with low-carbon technologies on the rise and electricity demand set to grow at twice the pace of energy demand as a whole. But what will tomorrow’s power sector look like? How will it incentivise investment and ensure reliable supply, and what share of our total energy needs can ultimately be met by electricity?
The 2018WEOalso examines the emissions intensities ofdifferent sources of oil and gas as well as what can be done to reduce them,and extends our ground-breaking Sustainable Development Scenario toinclude the linkages between energy and water.
