Oil and gas and bioenergy

Fossil fuels decline in absolute terms after 2030; gas retains a mid-century role, while bioenergy with CCS and synthetic fuels expand to replace them.

  • Energy-sector methane emissions 140 → 50 Mt (2024–2060) (-65 %).

  • Energy-sector methane falls ~140 Mt (2024) → ~128 (2030) → ~100 (2040) → ~50 (2060). By mid-century, fossil methane shares are ~54% gas, 26% oil, 20% coal.

  • Aviation: sustainable aviation fuels reach ~7 EJ/yr by 2060, with oil retaining ~55% of sector energy supply.

  • Shipping: bioenergy reaches ~3 EJ/yr (26%) by 2060, overtaking fossil fuels (~25%); onboard CO2 capture emerges from the 2040s in parts of the fleet.

  • Bio-power: electricity from biomass grows >50% to 2060; BECCS rises from ~3% (2030) to ~37% (2060) of biomass generation, providing all net growth in bio-electricity.

  • Traditional biomass in buildings declines ~25% globally by 2060, except Sub-Saharan Africa where use increases (from ~6 EJ/yr to ~9 EJ/yr).
