The Global Energy Supply Transition Journey

In 2021 the IEA presented its Road Map to Net Zero
The Global Energy Supply and Demand Transition is the most far-reaching industrial transformation in the global society and economy of the past century. The Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions by 2050 of the International Energy Agency in 2021 charted an aspirational pathway that was clear about the
- rates of installation of new energy technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, hydrogen electrolysers, and battery energy storage
- necessity to convert the steel, aluminium, chemicals and cement industries to new energy technologies
- need to transform heating and transportation into electricity
- requirement to double and treble the installed capacity of hydropower and nuclear power
- tremendous investment requirements to do the above
The IEA was silent about the implications of these measures for energy prices, taxes, and government spending.
The series of 23 virtual Tours helps audiences understand the Global Energy Supply Transition Journey as it plays out in oil, solar, wind, nuclear, coal, gas, LNG, hydro-electricity, and electricity storage on six continents’ regional and national energy economies. Each live Tour takes 45 minutes on Zoom, with 15 minutes of Q&A by Tour participants. Tour participants see satellite and photographic images of key energy facilities in countries to show the changes in the energy supply system. This is explained in terms of regions and countries’ energy and electricity mixes and maps of key energy facilities.
