The new custodian of the Statistical Review of World Energy, published by BP, is to be the Energy Institute (EI).
The EI is the chartered professional membership body for people who work in energy.
Published for more than 70 years by BP, since 1952, the annual publication is “the most comprehensive, objective and timely collection and analysis of global energy production, consumption and emission data”.
It is completely free for users to access.
From this year onwards it will continue as the Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy.
EI President Juliet Davenport (pictured) said the Statistical Review of World Energy is a “jewel”, which has served a purpose “way beyond” BP, for professionals in the industry, for policy makers, academics and students.
“We are pleased to welcome the Statistical Review to its new home at the Energy Institute, where it has a long-term, independent, free-to-access future providing the vital data and insights needed by the industry, its workforce and wider society as we accelerate the energy transition,” she added.
BP Chief Economist Spencer Dale said: “I’m hugely proud of the Statistical Review of World Energy, which BP has compiled and produced for over 70 years.
“The Statistical Review has a global reputation for providing timely, objective and comprehensive data on all aspects of the energy system, and is used widely by industry, governments and societies across the world to improve their understanding of the energy system and track the latest developments.
“BP is committed to supporting the continuation of this vital source of information, which is free for users to access.
“The Energy Institute, as the leading, independent, professional body for energy, is the perfect new custodian.
“BP will work closely with the Energy Institute to handover our role in producing the Statistical Review and will continue to support and champion its role in the future.”
