Be prepared for change
Take a pragmatic approach to understanding the future of energy
Understand the potential cost of the problem
Energy transitions present major strategic decision-making challenges for today's business leaders. You need to gain a comprehensive view of where the move to sustainable energy is—and where it’s headed.
Changes in technology, policy and consumer preference will determine supply, demand and price for future energy and commodity markets. These factors could present a potentially catastrophic business risk for all market participants.
Giving your business the best chance of success requires constantly understanding how today’s markets influence the rate of change and long-term direction of business needs. Positioning and timing are crucial. Your access to detailed information into how the market is evolving and the decisions you make base don those insights will have a large impact on Shareholder value.
Energy sector changes are driven by a variety of interacting factors, which Platts is able to track and update through consistent engagement across the commodities markets and ever-expanding data coverage.
-
Technology defines what is physically possible, and the costs and profits associated.
-
Policy influences what is permissible and influences the costs and profits associated.
-
Consumer preference determines what people demand, expect, and tolerate and influence the prices and profits associated.
Whatever the longer-term outcome, you can develop a deep understanding of emerging trends that will influence energy transitions across the commodity complex.
You need:
-
Medium- and long-term strategic outlooks
-
Views by sector, product and energy source
-
Objective, third-party, expert analysis
-
Comprehensive datasets
-
Timely analysis
-
Thought-leadership
Navigating to a solution
Identify and monitor the energy market challenges you face now and how they will evolve within the future of a low-carbon economy.
Platts has the only globally-balanced energy demand model that delivers insights into where and how demand is shifting for energy sources.
Our Global Integrated Energy Model (GIEM) provides the basis for analysis and long-term outlooks in Platts Future Energy Outlooks:
-
Coverage across 143 countries (13 regions), 9 end-use sectors, 30 fuel types, emissions detail
-
Sectoral energy requirements are calculated as a demand for energy services (industrial, buildings, transportation, power generation, petrochemicals)
-
Demand data incorporating GDP/income, population, commodity price, technological change, and policy drivers
-
Annual data back to 1990, annual forecast through 2040
-
Each month, global oil supply and demand are balanced on price
-
Updated monthly with our key assumptions aligned to GDP growth and supply and demand changes
Our fuel supply forecasts are made available to GIEM subscribers on a monthly basis, with balances determined via an integrated process across Platts Analytics.
