The many uncertainties mean that the probability of any one of thesescenarios materializing exactly as described is negligible.
Moreover, the three scenarios do not provide a comprehensivedescription of all possible outcomes.However, they do span a widerange of possible outcomes and so might help to inform a judgementabout the uncertainty surrounding energy markets out to 2050.
The Outlook was largely prepared before the military action byRussia in Ukraine and does not include any analysis of the possibleimplications of those developments on economic growth or globalenergy markets.
