What will global energy demand look like in 2040?

It’s a lower carbon future with natural gas and oil continuing to provide vital energy security to billions.

Growing populations and a desire to ensure everyone has access to electricity, clean cooking fuels and a more prosperous future ensure that energy demand will grow. With its high environmental standards, Canada has a chance to be a supplier of choice for natural gas and oil in a low-carbon future.
