EnerFuture provides annual energy forecasts up to 2040 using projections from the Prospective Outlook on Long-term Energy Systems (POLES) model. It offers a insight into future energy demand, prices and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by energy source or by sector at a country and/or regional level. EnerFuture aims to provide a consistent set of data reflecting the factors that will impact and shape the future energy context.

The POLES model is an internationally recognized techno-economic model. The simulation occurs on a year-to-year basis, with endogenous projection of energy prices. It provides a complete accounting of energy demand/supply of numerous energy vectors, associated technologies and greenhouse gases emissions and enables to customize and model possible carbon constraints levels, energy resources or technological assumptions.

The service includes:

• Global coverage (66 countries/regions)
• Historic annual data from the year 2000
• Annual forecasts of the global energy market until 2040
• Demand and price forecasts (by sector and energy source) • GHG emissions forecasts (by sector)
• Power mix forecasts (capacities and production by technology) in five-year steps
• Three detailed scenarios offering contrasted views on technological development, on effort in developing low-carbon energy sources and on fossil fuels supply
• Explicit modelling methodology and scenario assumptions
• Unlimited Excel export

Key questions addressed:

• What is the projected energy demand and supply based on international fuel prices?

Sample data inputs:

• Energy resources
• Power generation
• Emission profiles
• GDP
• Population
• Oil and gas resources
• Technology costs

Sample quantitative outputs:

• Demand by energy by sector by country
• End user energy prices by sector by country
• CO2 emissions by sector by country
• Power mix by country (capacities + production)
