Areas of uncertainty in the outlook • China’s energy demand growth; particularly in transportation – EIA is working with MIT and others to upgrade the structural and macroeconomic determinates of transportation demand in all regions for IEO2015
• Increasing global trade of natural gas and HGL in addition to oil – EIA is integrating the representation of oil and natural gas supply and other hydrocarbons
• Global development of tight oil and shale gas resources – EIA is gathering geology and production information, and conducting outreach
• Impact of geopolitical tensions on energy supply – EIA exploring options for representing these uncertainties in the outlook
