The Energy Shift
The phase-out of oil and gas
The world burns through 16 billion tonnes of fossil fuels each year, in the process emitting double that weight of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
We can only curb these emissions by de-carbonising energy. That means drastically reducing our use of fossil fuels.
However, our living standards depend on abundant energy supplies. And cleaner energy is costly, takes time to develop, and often requires scarce raw materials.
With oil and gas still providing 60% of the global energy mix, humans will continue to depend on fossil fuels for transport, electricity, food and materials for many years to come - even as other cleaner and sustainable supplies grow.
A full transition to sustainable, cleaner energy is thus an extraordinary challenge. More than ever, companies and governments need realistic, comprehensive, and detailed oil and gas forecasts from an independent, unbiased source to plan and implement the Energy Shift.
Globalshift.co.uk is one such source. And it is free.
