New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

Editor's Notes
Hello and welcome to the Virginia Workforce Center Workforce Wednesday Orientation.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act was signed into law by President Obama in 2014. Known by the acronym WIOA, the new Act what was know as the Workforce Investment Act or WIA.
WIOA is the federal law that provides the guidelines for establishing the One Stop Center Model referred to as the Virginia Workforce Center. There are currently a designated One Stop Center in each of the 15 regions across the State of Virginia.
The Virginia Community College System is the state administrator for WIOA funding.
There are 15 Workforce Regions across the State of Virginia. This One Stop Center is part of the Crater Region, which is Area 15. There are nine localities making up the Crater Region. They are City of Colonial Heights, Dinwiddie County, City of Emporia, Greensville County, City of Hopewell, City of Petersburg, Prince George County, Surry County, and Sussex County. Due to the close proximity of some residents to the Crater Region jurisdiction line, this One Stop Center services residents that live in the southern portion of Chesterfield County through an administrative agreement.
The current Comprehensive One Stop Center is located at the Southside Education Center in Emporia. The Petersburg Center is in the process of transitioning to a full service Comprehensive One Stop Center this year.
