World Energy Investment Outlook 2003

World energy demand will rise by two thirds between now and 2030, and the world economy will falter if these energy supplies are not available. How much investment will be required to satisfy this need and can it be financed? The World Energy Investment Outlook 2003 from the International Energy Agency answers these questions in a first-ever attempt to quantify global energy investment needs, fuel-by-fuel and region-by-region. The numbers are daunting. The global financial system has the capacity to fund the required investment, but are the conditions right? For some sectors and regions, the prospects are good. For others, the outlook is bleak. World Energy Investment Outlook 2003 presents a systematic, objective and comprehensive picture.
