The International Energy Agency (IEA) has just released its annual World Energy Outlook for 2023, offering a comprehensive view of the global energy landscape. The report predicts that global oil demand will peak this decade at 102 million barrels per day. This is influenced by the rapid adoption of electric vehicles, which are expected to be 10 times as prevalent on the road by 2030, and an expanding renewable energy sector that will supply 50% of the world's electricity needs, up from about 30% today. Interestingly, the peak does not signal an immediate decline in fossil fuel consumption but leads to an "undulating plateau" for many years to come.

The IEA emphasizes that the transition to clean energy is "unstoppable." Yet, it also serves as a reminder that current climate policies are insufficient to limit global warming to 1.5°C. As a result, there's an urgent call for tripling renewable energy production, doubling energy efficiency measures, and slashing methane emissions by 75% by 2030.
