Emerging economies will be the main contributors of global energy demand increase.

The global final energy consumption will grow at a much slower pace than historically according to our EnerBlue scenario (NDCs & announced pledges). Advanced economies will tend to reduce their consumption, partially balancing growth in developing countries. By 2050, the Asia-Pacific region will represent over half of the global final energy demand, and Africa will consume more than North America or Europe. In terms of final energy mix, end-uses will tend to become electrified, especially in scenarios with high climate ambition, enabling the share of fossil fuels in final consumption to quickly reduce.
