Exxon Trims Global 2040 Energy-Demand View
Exxon's (XOM) annual energy outlook, which seeks to forecast energy demand and supply in more than 100 countries decades into the future, sees global population rising by 2B from 2014-40 and the expansion and modernization of emerging economies pushing up energy demand 25%. XOM's prediction of 703 quadrillion BTUs of energy demand in 2040 is about 2% less than last year's call. Oil and natural gas are seen providing almost 60% of global energy supply.
