'Energy markets and policies have changed as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, not just for the time being, but for decades to come,' IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a statement

Last year the IEA said there was"no clear peak in sight" in energy emissions, but the new higher investment in wind and solar is setting up demand for all fossil fuels to peak or plateau, leading to a drop in emissions.

On Russia, the IEA said the country, which is the world's largest fossil fuel exporter, will never regain the share of the global energy supply mix it had before its invasion of Ukraine. Russia's supply of internationally traded energy will fall to 13% by 2030 from about 20% in 2021, the IEA projects.

"The global energy crisis triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine is causing profound and long-lasting changes that have the potential to hasten the transition to a more sustainable and secure energy system," the IEA said in its annual World Energy Outlook report. Overall, the share of fossil fuels in the global energy mix in the IEA's stated policies scenario falls from around 80% to just above 60% by 2050.Oil & gas markets are facing major uncertainties amid today's geopolitical upheavalRead more: https://t.co/xIaOetc4WN pic.twitter.com/NXzYLCdYKbThe IEA also has a scenario to arrive at zero net emissions in 2050, which is seen as necessary to hit the 1.5C warming target enshrined in the Paris Climate Agreement.
