IEA World Energy Outlook 2024 -- Key Findings

Report Context

  • Published October 2024 by the IEA under the direction of Laura Cozzi and Tim Gould.
  • Three main scenarios: STEPS (Stated Policies), APS (Announced Pledges), NZE (Net Zero Emissions by 2050).
  • Key backdrop: escalating Middle East conflict, Russia-Ukraine war, geopolitical fragmentation, and accelerating clean energy deployment.

Demand Projections

Global Oil Demand

Metric Value
2023 global oil demand ~102 mb/d (implied from text)
STEPS oil demand peak Before 2030
Post-peak decline driver EVs, efficiency, electrification
India demand addition to 2035 ~2 mb/d
EVs displacing oil demand by 2030 ~6 mb/d
EV share of new car sales (2024) ~20%
EV share of new car sales by 2030 (STEPS) ~50%

Global Energy Demand

  • Fossil fuel share: 82% (2013) -> 80% (2023) -> 58% (2050, STEPS).
  • Clean energy becomes largest energy source in mid-2030s (STEPS).
  • All three fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) peak before 2030 in STEPS.
  • Global final energy consumption: 445 EJ today -> 530 EJ by 2050 (STEPS).
  • Energy demand growth slows from 1.4%/yr (past decade) to ~0.5%/yr (2023-2035, STEPS).

Electricity Demand

  • Electricity demand growth: 2x pace of overall energy demand over past decade.
  • STEPS 2035 demand revised up 6% (~2,200 TWh) vs. WEO-2023, driven by cooling, data centres, EVs, light industry.
  • Cooling adds >1,200 TWh of extra demand by 2035 (STEPS).

Supply Projections

Oil Supply

  • Near-term supply growth from Americas: US, Brazil, Guyana, Canada.
  • OPEC+ spare capacity (2024): ~6 mb/d (excl. Iran/Russia).
  • OPEC+ spare capacity by 2030 (STEPS): rising to 8 mb/d -- signals significant supply overhang.
  • STEPS oil price assumption: ~USD 75-80/bbl, implying further OPEC+ production restraint.

LNG Supply

  • ~270 bcm of new LNG capacity approved, entering service by 2030 (led by US, Qatar).
  • LNG export capacity increase: ~50% by late 2020s.
  • LNG demand growth: >2.5%/yr to 2035 (STEPS), faster than overall gas demand.
  • Gas-importing developing economies need prices ~USD 3-5/MBtu; new export projects need ~USD 8/MBtu to break even.
  • Potential LNG surplus through at least 2030; oversupply could persist to 2040.

Oil Price Scenarios

Scenario Oil Price Implication
STEPS ~USD 75-80/bbl (equilibrium, requires OPEC+ restraint)
APS Downward pressure; lower long-term demand reduces producer revenue
NZE Significant price decline; stranded asset risk
  • Key dynamic: "downward pressure on prices and a period of increased competition among suppliers."
  • IEA notes a potential "overhang of oil and LNG supply" in second half of 2020s.

Long-Term Structural Views

Peak Oil Demand

  • STEPS: All three fossil fuels peak before 2030. This is a landmark IEA finding.
  • Post-2030, continued energy demand growth can be met solely by clean energy (STEPS).
  • However, STEPS still results in 2.4C warming by 2100 -- far from Paris goals.

CO2 Emissions

Scenario 2030 CO2 (Gt) 2050 CO2 (Gt) Temp Rise (2100)
STEPS ~36 ~32 2.4C
APS ~31 ~12 1.7C
NZE ~25 ~3 1.5C

Geopolitical / Structural Risks

  • 20% of global oil and LNG flows through Strait of Hormuz.
  • Asia's oil import dependence rises to ~90% by 2050 (STEPS).
  • China oil import dependence: ~75% today -> 80%+ by 2050.
  • Clean energy supply chains heavily concentrated in China (solar, batteries).
  • ~200 trade measures restricting clean energy tech since 2020 (vs. 40 in prior 5 years).

Renewables

  • 560 GW of new renewables capacity added in 2023.
  • Renewables capacity: 4,250 GW today -> ~10,000 GW by 2030 (STEPS).
  • Solar PV manufacturing capacity: ~1,100 GW/yr (potentially 3x 2023 deployment).
  • Clean energy investment: approaching USD 2 trillion/yr, ~2x oil+gas+coal supply spending combined.

Key Numbers for Investment Analysis

Parameter Value Year
Global oil demand ~102 mb/d 2023
OPEC+ spare capacity ~6 mb/d 2024
OPEC+ spare capacity (STEPS) ~8 mb/d 2030
Oil price (STEPS) USD 75-80/bbl Mid-term
EVs displacing oil ~6 mb/d 2030
LNG new capacity ~270 bcm By 2030
Renewables capacity ~10,000 GW 2030
Clean energy investment ~USD 2 trillion/yr 2024
