IEA's new scenario forecast: Contradictions exist in demand for fossil fuels.

The International Energy Agency's "World Energy Outlook" has restored the "current policies" pathway indicating growth in oil and gas demand, while its "stated policies" scenario predicts that renewable energy will meet most of the new electricity demand. Analysts say that these impacts will coincide with the growth in electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, and energy giants such as ExxonMobil and Chevron will also weigh these influences.
