Renewables have officially overtaken coal as the world’s largest source of electricity — a historic first. But beneath that milestone lies a much more complex story.
In this episode of Sustainability Forward, Wrishi and Carmine unpack BP’s Energy Outlook 2025 to reveal what’s really shaping the global energy transition. From the “two futures” of rapid clean tech expansion in Asia versus fossil resurgence in the West, to the ten key insights that define BP’s latest scenarios — including oil’s long glide path, the LNG decade, AI’s growing power hunger, and why energy efficiency remains the quiet boss.
They close with three big takeaways for anyone thinking seriously about the future of energy:
The hinge of decarbonisation lies in emerging markets.
Build for demand surprises driven by AI and slow efficiency gains.
LNG’s near-term boom will depend on how strongly the world commits to climate goals post-2035.
Listen for a clear, grounded breakdown of the world’s evolving energy map — and what it means for business, policy, and investment.
