Reflecting and highlighting the ongoing energy transition process, the World Oil, Gas and Renewables, now at its 20th edition, turns into World Energy Review, a single document that, by tracking the main changes in the energy sector in 2020, aims to be a useful tool for their understanding. 

The World Energy Review is split into three sections. The first one revolves around oil with a special focus on the evolution of crude oil quality and the refining industry. The second section offers an overview about the natural gas market and the third one is about the main renewable sources (solar and wind power). 

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 the energy sector faced unprecedented challenges. It was the first year of energy reduction since 2009 and the largest contraction since the Second World War.
