Presentation description:

The Global Outlook is ExxonMobil’s view of demand and supply of energy and related products through 2050.  This analysis is based on a long-term assessment of; economic trends, technological advances, consumer behavior and climate related public policy.  Through 2050 we expect all energy types are needed for a more prosperous low emission future.  Rising living standards are projected to increase energy use 25% in developing countries.  To meet this increase in demand a broad array of energy types will be needed with oil and gas projected to make up more than half of the world’s energy supply in 2050.
