ExxonMobil’s energy outlook

Expanding prosperity for a growing world population will drive an increase in energy demand of approximately 35% by 2030 compared to 2005, even with significant efficiency gains, and natural gas will emerge as the second largest energy source behind oil, ExxonMobil said on 27^th January as it released its new edition of Outlook for Energy: A View to 2030.

The growing use of natural gas and other less carbon intensive energy supplies, combined with greater energy efficiency in nations around the world, will help mitigate environmental impacts of increased energy demand. According to the Outlook, global energy related carbon dioxide emissions growth will be lower than the projected average rate of growth in energy demand.

Tillerson, chairman and chief executive officer.

‘The forecasts also show a shift toward natural gas as businesses and governments look for reliable, affordable and cleaner ways to meet energy needs,’ Tillerson said. ‘Newly unlocked supplies of shale gas and other unconventional energy sources will be vital in meeting this demand.’
