Europe energy markets long-term outlook H1 2015
Report summary
Demand for fossil fuels in Europe is expected to reduce in the long term as climate-energy policy continues to shape the development of energy markets and the role of renewable technologies expands, particularly in the power sector. However, we maintain a view that EU policy objectives to 2030 remain ambitious and beyond reach. Our latest view of oil, gas, coal and carbon prices are included here, along with an update on EU energy policy.
