About the WEO

The World Energy Outlook is the flagship publication of the International Energy Agency. It has long been recognised as the authoritative source of global long-term energy market analysis.

In even-numbered years, the series provides energy demand and supply projections by fuel and by region through to 2030. It draws lessons for energy security, trade and investment, quantifies energy-related carbon dioxide emissions and assesses policies designed to reduce them.

In odd-numbered years the series provides a systematic, objective and comprehensive analysis of a topical issue or challenge confronting the energy sector.

The WEO received numerous awards from governments and energy industry for its analytical excellence.
