The context: fresh challenges add to already worrying trends

Economic concerns have diverted attention from energy policy and limited the means of intervention

Post-Fukushima, nuclear is facing uncertainty

MENA turmoil raised questions about region’s investment plans

Some key trends are pointing in worrying directions:

CO2 emissions rebounded to a record high

energy efficiency of global economy worsened for 2nd straight year

spending on oil imports is near record highs

© OECD/IEA 2011

Emerging economies continue to drive global energy demand

Growth in primary energy demand in the New Policies Scenario

Global energy demand increases by one-third from 2010 to 2035, with China & India accounting for 50% of the growth

Oil demand is driven higher by soaring car ownership

Vehicles per 1000 people in selected markets

The passenger vehicle fleet doubles to 1.7 billion in 2035; most cars are sold outside the OECD by 2020, making non-OECD policies key to global oil demand

Changing oil import needs are set toshift concerns about oil security

Net imports of oil

US oil imports drop due to rising domestic output & improved transport efficiency: EU imports overtake those of the US around 2015; China becomes the largest importer around 2020

What impact would deferred investment in MENA have on markets?

MENA is set to supply the bulk of the growth in oil outputto 2035, requiring investment of over $100 billion/annum

‘Deferred Investment Case’ looks at near-term investment falling short by one-third

possible drivers include new spending priorities, higher perceived risks, etc

MENA output falls 3.4 mb/d by 2015 and 6.2 mb/d by 2020

Consumers face a near-term rise in oil prices to $150/barrel

MENA earns more initially, but then less as market share is lost

Golden prospects for natural gas

Largest natural gas producers in 2035

Unconventional natural gas supplies 40% of the 1.7 tcm increase in global supply,but best practices are essential to successfully address environmental challenges

Coal won the energy race in the first decade of the 21st century

Growth in global energy demand, 2000-2010

Coal accounted for nearly half of the increase in global energy use over the past decade,with the bulk of the growth coming from the power sector in emerging economies

Asia: the arena of future coal trade

International coal markets & prices become increasingly sensitive to developments in Asia; India surpasses China as the biggest coal importer soon after 2020

Second thoughts on nuclear would have far-reaching consequences

“Low Nuclear Case” examines impact of nuclear component of future energy supply being cut in half

Gives a boost to renewables, but increases import bills, reduces diversity & makes it harder to combat climate change

By 2035, compared with the New Policies Scenario:

coal demand increases by twice Australia’s steam coal exports

natural gas demand increases by two-thirds Russia’s natural gas net exports

power- sector CO2 emissions increase by 6.2%

Biggest implications are for countries with limited energy resources that planned to rely on nuclear power

Power investment focuses on low-carbon technologies

Share of new power generation and investment, 2011-2035

Renewables are often capital-intensive, representing 60% of investment for 30% of additional generation, but bring environmental benefits & have minimal fuel costs

The overall value of subsidiesto renewables is set to rise

Renewable subsidies of $66 billion in 2010 (compared with $409 billion for fossil fuels), need to climb to $250 billion in 2035 as rising deployment outweighs improved competitiveness

Realising Russia’s potential for energy savings would have a big impact

Natural gas savings from raising efficiency (to comparable OECD levels)

Russia’s total energy savings potential is close to the primary energy used in a year by the UK; new efficiency policies bring results, but the savings potential remains large even in 2035

Energy is at the heart ofthe climate challenge

By 2035, cumulative CO2 emissions from today exceed three-quarters of the total since 1900, and China’s per-capita emissions match the OECD average

The door to 2°C is closing,but will we be “locked-in” ?

Without further action, by 2017 all CO2 emissions permitted in the 450 Scenariowill be “locked-in” by existing power plants, factories, buildings, etc

If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re heading

In a world full of uncertainty, one thing is sure: rising incomes & population will push energy needs higher

Oil supply diversity is diminishing, while new optionsare opening up for natural gas

Coal – the “forgotten fuel” – has underpinned growth, but its future will be shaped by uptake of efficient power plants & CCS

Power sector investment will become increasingly capital intensive with the rising share of renewables

The world needs Russian energy, while Russia needs to use less

Despite steps in the right direction, the door to 2°C is closing
