Energy passport

A compact empirical profile of the selected economy, calibrated to the EI workbook.

Historical energy mix

Annual primary energy, 1965–2025

2025 energy balance

Domestic production relative to consumption

Scenario assumptions

Controls alter demand, fuel substitution, electricity, methane and CCUS. Country responses differ by archetype.

How these assumptions affect the model

Primary energy by source

2050 snapshot

Compare the world’s major energy regions in the selected scenario.

Metric

Power transition

Generation, installed wind and solar capacity, batteries and data-centre demand.

Electricity generation mix

Actual 1985–2025; scenario to 2050

Transition infrastructure

Solar, wind and grid-scale BESS capacity

Build-rate plausibility test

Required average annual additions to 2050 compared with the selected geography’s 2015–2025 pace and best recorded year.

Annual capacity additions

GW per year; BESS is power capacity, not stored energy

Energy balance and security

Historical fossil production and consumption, import dependence and a simple static-supply stress test.

Fuel

2025 trade flows

Observed bilateral LNG, pipeline-gas and coal flows. These are a historical snapshot, not a projected market-clearing result.

Flow

Largest counterparties

Cross-border flows involving the selected geography

Emissions

Energy CO₂, process emissions and methane, flaring, and modelled avoided emissions from CCUS.

Emissions pathway
