Energy economics
The Energy Outlook makes projections to 2040 and beyond, while the Statistical Review provides historic data on world energy markets
bp’s economics team produces two reports annually. One – the Energy Outlook – is forward-looking and the other – the Statistical Review of World Energy – analyses data from the previous year. While the Energy Outlook was first published in January 2011, the Statistical Review has been informing the energy economics community since 1952.

Statistical Review of World Energy 2020
Growth in carbon emissions in 2019 slowed from the sharp increase seen in the previous year, as primary energy consumption decelerated and renewables and natural gas displaced coal from the energy mix.
In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s edition provides a timely reminder of global energy trends prior to the crisis.
Energy Outlook – 2019 edition
The Energy Outlook explores the forces shaping the global energy transition out to 2040 and the key uncertainties surrounding that transition.
It shows how rising prosperity drives an increase in global energy demand and how that demand will be met over the coming decades through a diverse range of supplies including oil, gas, coal and renewables.
