To provide more context for understanding the high-level energy and CO2 results of the other
modeling studies, a summary of each study and its key findings is presented below and also
summarized in Appendix 3.
International Energy Agency (IEA): 2019 World Energy Outlook
The IEA publishes its World Energy Outlook (WEO) report annually with its energy and
emissions scenario outlook for the world using its global World Energy Model. In its 2019 WEO,
the IEA included a detailed focus on its China Energy Outlook out to 2040 for its three scenarios,
the Current Policies Scenario that only considers existing policies and measures as of mid-2019,
the Stated Policies Scenario and the more ambitious Sustainable Development Scenario (IEA,
2019e). Similar to Berkeley Lab’s China Energy Outlook 2050 Continuous Improvement
Scenario, the WEO’s Stated Policies Scenario considers all current policies as well as planned
policies and targets announced by governments, including the Nationally Determined
Contributions for the Paris Agreement. The scenario outlooks for China and scenario names
were updated in the 2019 WEO, but the scenario definitions remain the same.
