The annual Energy Outlook reflects  British Petroleum’s best effort to describe a “most likely” trajectory of the global energysystem, based on our views of likely economic and population growth, as well as developments in policy and technology. The 2015 edition of the Outlook raises some big questions: Which fuels will gain and lose global market share? What is the outlook for US tight oil and shale gas supply, and what will the US energy renaissance of recent years mean for global markets into the future? What changes are likely for China (the world’s biggest energy consumer)? What are the implications for CO2 emissions? And, with the oil price in the spotlight, what are the forces that will influence energy prices over the decades to come?
