BP Energy Outlook
2017 edition
The Energy Outlook considers a base case, outlining the 'most likely' path
for global energy markets over the next 20 years based on assumptions
and judgements about future changes in policy, technology and the
economy. It examines some of the key questions and issues posed by the
energy transition, and develops a number of alternative cases to explore
key uncertainties.2017 Energy Outlook

Welcome to the 2017 edition of BP’s Energy Outlook.
The global energy landscape is changing. Traditional centres of demand are being overtaken by fast-
growing emerging markets. The energy mix is shifting, driven by technological improvements and
environmental concerns. More than ever, our industry needs to adapt to meet those changing energy
needs.
In the near term, much of our focus will remain on the continuing adjustment of the oil market.
Considerable progress has been made but there is still a long way to go. Oil inventories are at record-high
levels and the impact on supply of the significant cutbacks in investment spending on new energy
projects over the past two years has not yet been fully felt.
But our response to those near-term challenges has to be informed by our understanding of the longer-
term energy transition that is taking place to ensure we are able to continue to meet the energy needs of
a changing world. That is the value of the Energy Outlook: to shine a light on the key trends and forces
that are likely to shape global energy markets over the next 20 years.
A central feature of the energy transition mapped out by this Outlook is the continued gradual
decarbonization of the fuel mix. Rapid improvements in the competitiveness of renewable energy mean
that increases in renewables, together with nuclear and hydro energy, provide around half of the increase
in global energy out to 2035. Natural gas is expected to grow faster than oil or coal, helped by the rapid
growth of liquefied natural gas increasing the accessibility of gas across the globe.。。。以上简介无排版格式，详细内容请下载查看
