Tim Gould from the IEA will provide an overview of recent trends in energy markets and investments, how these trends might evolve in the future in different scenarios, and the key implications of these trends for energy security, affordability, and sustainability. The presentation will reflect on the increasing importance of electricity in the energy system, as the world enters what the IEA is calling the Age of Electricity, the prospects for new low-emissions technologies in various sectors, the significance of the upcoming wave of Liquefied natural gas (LNG) that is coming to market, the shifting geography of energy consumption, and other developments that will have real operational consequences for energy policymakers.
