Presentation: Outlook for Offshore Energy

Time: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM CEST

Speakers: Tim Gould, Brent Wanner

Tapping the world’s huge offshore resources will be vital to meet future energy needs, but the dynamics of offshore energy have been changing fast:

•    The shale revolution has created a new competitive environment for investment in offshore oil and gas
•    Policy support and technology developments promise major cost reductions for the next wave of offshore wind projects

This new report, part of the IEA’s flagship World Energy Outlook series, explored what these changing dynamics might mean for offshore energy activity in different scenarios to 2040. It also highlighted the potential for greater integration and collaboration across different parts of the offshore energy sector.

In this webinar, the report’s main authors presented its key findings and responded to questions and comments, submitted either online during the event or by e-mail. The full report is available here.
