In-brief analysis

July 11, 2025

In our Annual Energy Outlook 2025 (AEO2025), we project U.S. production growth of crude oil and natural gas remains relatively high through 2030 due to increasing U.S. exports of petroleum products and liquefied natural gas (LNG), as U.S. energy exports continue to be economical for international consumers.

AEO2025, which we released in April, only considers market and policy inputs as of December 2024 in most cases. Legislation, regulations, executive actions, and court rulings after that date are not considered in this analysis.

Crude oil
Crude oil production increases to about 14.0 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2027 or 2028 in most of our cases, compared with 13.2 million b/d in 2024. Near-term growth in our projections is largely due to increased production in the Permian Basin. The long-term projections differ somewhat

Every day, billions of people trust digital systems to run everything from communication to commerce to critical infrastructure. But the global early warning system that alerts security teams to dangerous software flaws is showing critical gaps in coverage—and most users have no idea their digital lives are likely becoming more vulnerable.

Over the past eighteen months, two pillars of global cybersecurity have flirted with apparent collapse. In February 2024, the US-backed National Vulnerability Database (NVD)—relied on globally for its free analysis of security threats—abruptly stopped publishing new entries, citing a cryptic “change in interagency support.” Then, in April of this year, the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program, the fundamental numbering system for tracking software flaws, seemed at similar risk: A leaked letter warned of an imminent contract expiration.

Cybersecurity practitioners have since flooded Discord channels and LinkedIn feeds with emergency posts and memes

Computer Science

Work description

Development of model/process chains that enable AI-based assistants to support human operators’ decisions in power systems under model risk and uncertainty, and considering joint human-AI learning. Develop methodologies to assess the robustness and safety of human decisions assisted by AI, hybrid co-learning between AI and humans, and fully autonomous AI, considering risk assessment aligned with the EU AI Act, as well as reliability and robustness quantified through the provision of guidelines on how to create and use “adversarial” datasets. Validate the developed methodologies using real data and simulators. Dissemination of the work in national and/or international journals and conferences.
