Let’s Talk Energy and explore the fourth edition of Rystad Energy’s annual Global Energy Scenarios report. The report is a comprehensive look at the ways our energy and climate world could evolve through a set of potential pathways, ranging from a rapid and ambitious energy transition to a slower shift where reliance on fossil fuels is larger for longer. This year’s report, titled The Next Era of Energy, highlights some of the consequential shifts we are already seeing in the energy system and which countries are moving more quickly – or more slowly – than their neighbors. It comes just ahead of the much-anticipated COP30 conference in Brazil, where nations will present their more ambitious climate targets against a backdrop of increasing opposition to transition policies, particularly in the US.  

What can these scenarios tell us about what our energy future might look like and the signposts we should be focusing on to recognize the direction of travel?  

What trends are most important in shaping the global energy sector and which countries are leading those trends? 

How long could the evolution toward this new era take and what does it mean for the energy mix during that process?
