In addition to the Energy Transition Outlook main report, you can explore our special reports. 


Maritime Forecast to 2050 

The 7th edition of our Maritime Forecast to 2050 report takes a deep dive into shipping’s decarbonization journey, providing an overview of key regulations, fuels and technologies.

Highlights include:

  • An examination of the impact of the latest regulatory developments from the IMO and EU
  • An overview of how an eco-system for carbon-neutral fuels can develop
  • A deep dive into selected technologies that can drive greater energy efficiency in the maritime industry
  • A three-step approach for value chain stakeholders to create green shipping corridors


Transport in Transition 

Shipping, aviation and road transport today account for almost 25% of overall emissions. We forecast this to rise to 30% by 2050 although total emissions from transport almost halve. The central difficulty for transport is that much of it will remain fuel-dependent, even though 78% of all road transport will be electric by 2050. 

  • How will biofuels develop for the aviation and maritime industry? 
  • What will be the role of hydrogen and hydrogen-based fuels and e-fuels? 
  • What other areas of transport will electrify and what new infrastructure are we likely to see? 
  • How can sectors work together and what are the policies needed to accelerate the energy transition of transport?


Hydrogen Forecast to 2050 

DNV’s first dedicated hydrogen forecast to 2050 provides new and expanded hydrogen findings from our Energy Transition Outlook model – exploring the outlook globally, regionally, and by sector.

  • When, where and by how much will hydrogen scale?
  • In which sectors will hydrogen and derivatives be used?
  • How will hydrogen be transported and traded?
  • What will be spent on hydrogen through to 2050?
