Signs of stress in the global energy system

• Current calm in markets should not disguise difficult road ahead

– Turmoil in the Middle East raises doubts over future oil balance

– Resurgent debate over the security of gas supply to Europe

• Mixed signals in run-up to crucial climate summit in Paris in 2015

– Global CO2 emissions still rising, with most emitters on an upward path

– At $550 billion, fossil fuel subsidies over four-times those to renewables

– Increasing emphasis on energy efficiency starting to bring results

• Will change in global energy be led by policies, or driven by events?

Final Draft (7 June 2013) Technical Summary IPCC WGI Fifth Assessment Report

Do Not Cite, Quote or Distribute TS-119 Total pages: 127

TFE.8, Figure 1: Global mean temperature increase since 1861–1880 as a function of cumulative total global CO2

emissions from various lines of evidence. (a) Decadal average results are shown over all CMIP5 EMIC and ESMs for

each RCP respectively, with coloured lines (multi-model average), decadal markers (dots) and with three decades

(2001–2010, 2041–2050 and 2091–2100) highlighted with a star, square and diamond, respectively. The historical time

period up to decade 2001–2010 is taken from the CMIP5 historical runs prolonged by RCP8.5 for 2005–2010 and is

indicated with a black thick line and black symbols. Coloured ranges illustrate the model spread (90% range) over all

CMIP5 ESMs and EMICs and do not represent a formal uncertainty assessment. Ranges are filled as long as data of all

models is available and until peak temperature. They are faded out for illustrative purposes afterward. CMIP5

simulations with 1% yr–1 CO2 increase only are illustrated by the dark grey area (range definition similar to RCPs

above) and the black thin line (multi-model average). The light grey cone represents this report’s assessment of the

transient climate response to emissions (TCRE) from CO2 only. Estimated cumulative historical CO2 emissions from

1850 to 2011 with associated uncertainties are illustrated by the grey bar at the bottom of panel a. (b) Comparison of

historical model results with observations. The magenta line and uncertainty ranges are based on observed emissions

from CDIAC extended by values of the Global Carbon project until 2010 and observed temperature estimates of

HadCRUT4. The uncertainties in the last decade of observations are based on the assessment in this report. The black

thick line is identical to the one in panel a. The thin green line with crosses is as the black line but for ESMs only. The

yellow-brown line and range show these ESM results until 2010, when corrected for HadCRUT4’s incomplete

geographical coverage over time. All values are given relative to the 1861–1880 base period. All time-series are derived

Carbon Budget

515Gt had been emitted by 2011.2C scenario needs to stop at 790Gt.(66%).790-515=275Gt budget left.

Annual 2012 =9.7Gt

275/9.7=Only 28 years to go!

Changing dynamics of global demand

Energy demand by region

As China slows, then India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and parts of Africa & Latin America take over as the engines of global energy demand growth.

Wide price gap has been seen for several years among major regional gas markets with no convergence.

Not only as being the fastest-growing gas market, Asia is even more attractive for producers as Asian buyers pay the highest prices.

What is making Asian gas price so high?

Henry Hub indexation in new contracts is not the final solution

Oil indexation

HH indexation

Asian hub indexation

US Henry Hub reached as high as USD 8/Mbtu in early 2014, whereas Asian spot prices went down to below USD 11/Mbtu during this summer.

In longer term, a mix of oil, Henry Hub and Asian hub indexation could govern LNG contracts.

Navigating a stormy energy future

• Geopolitical & market uncertainties are set to propel energy security high up the global energy agenda

• Volatility in the Middle East raises short-term doubts on investment & spells trouble for future oil supply

• Nuclear power can play a role in energy security & carbon abatement – but financing & public concerns are key issues

• Without clear direction from Paris in 2015, the world is set for warming well beyond the 2 °C goal

• Far-sighted government policies are essential to steer the global energy system on to a safer course
