Energy and Climate Scenarios

The Energy and Climate Scenarios Service supports companies and institutions to understand the energy transition and assess its impact, risks, and opportunities in order to make strategic decisions.

Key questions this service answers:

  • How fast will various transitions take place and change the use of energy types?
  • What are the ways in which the world could move to a low emissions pathway that reaches the Paris Climate agreement goals?
  • What policies and metrics are governments using to affect climate change and air pollution?
  • How and where will hydrocarbons compete if demand declines in the future?
  • What are the technology enablers and costs?
  • How will competitive advantage change?

IHS Markit prepares annually three plausible and integrated long-term energy scenarios to 2050, built by country and sector using experts from across our economics, energy, automotive, agriculture, life sciences, and maritime divisions. Each scenario outlines a unique set of assumptions which include economic factors, geopolitical environment, and focus on reducing global greenhouse emissions (GHGs) through policies and carbon pricing, COVID-19 containment, consumer behavior, among others. Also, IHS Markit prepares annually two net zero cases, which are predetermined outcome of reaching global net zero GHG emissions by 2050 and “backcast” to the present. Each of the three scenarios and two net zero cases has different implications for primary and final energy demand, and for global GHG emissions and temperature paths going forward.

Deliverables include:

  • Energy Scenarios and Net Zero cases data sets, descriptions, and analysis of implications
  • Scenarios signposts
  • Climate policy country profiles for the G20 countries
  • Climate Energy Transition Indices
  • Strategic insights and reports
  • Analytics dashboards
  • Workshops and webinars
