DOE/EIA-0484(2009). Presents international energy projections through 2030. Includes outlooks for major energy fuels and associated carbon dioxide emissions.

World Energy Outlook presents the International Energy Agency's authoritative annual global energy projections. This 2009 edition analyzes what the economic crisis will mean for energy markets and how the transition to a clean global energy system can be financed. It focuses on three specific areas: financing energy investment under a post 2012 climate framework, prospects for natural gas markets, and energy trends in Southeast Asia.

The International Energy Outlook 2009 presents an assessment by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the outlook for international energy markets through 2030. U.S. projections appearing in this publication are consistent with those published in EIAs Annual Energy Outlook 2009, (March 2009).

Presents international energy projections through 2035. Includes outlooks for major energy fuels and associated carbon dioxide emissions.

AEO 2009. The Annual Energy Outlook 2009 presents projections and analysis of US energy supply, demand, and prices through 2030. The projections are based on results from the Energy Information Administration's National Energy Modeling System. The AEO2009 includes the reference case, additional cases examining energy markets, and complete documentation.

At the end of 2009 the World Bank and the IMF published new figures for gross domestic product adjusted for purchasing power. In addition to the new assessment of various developing and emerging nations, the considerable downgrading of the mean purchasing power of China and India is of particular significance. The present English edition of the book takes this into account. Con- quently it is not simply a translation of the German edition, but is also an update, in both the introduction and the main report. Biel, January 2010 Valentin Crastan Preface to the German edition Climate change is becoming more and more evident to everybody and there is an urgent need for action. The resonance resulting from the forthcoming conference in Copenhagen can be taken as a sign that even international po- tics is taking the subject seriously. The need for a worldwide reduction of CO emissions is only sporadically doubted. The required extent of this re- 2 duction is also largely clear. However, there is continuing argument over how much contribution to this should be made by the individual countries and regions of the world. The following report is an attempt to provide a basis for rational discussion, with an analysis of the worldwide energy economy and the associated em- sions. Measurable indicators based on the two main aspects, namely energy efficiency and CO intensity, should enable the efforts to be judged equitably.
