Fossil fuels, a vision of the future or something our children will see in history books? The energy markets, broadly taken to be fossil fuels and renewables, have seen significant changes over the past years. Though hard to predict, most outlooks expect energy demand to rise by about 30% by 2030.

Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas are the source of just over 80% of the world’s energy. To avert catastrophic warming, the global community must rapidly reduce how much of these fuels it extracts and burns. target because it was already at its limit, given our projections of fossil fuel demand in the near future.
