Care Innovation November 2010
Some Definitions◦ “The ability to recover quickly from change or
misfortune”◦ “The capability of a strained body to recover its
size and shape”◦ “The ability to recover quickly from disruptive
change without being overwhelmed”
Focus on◦ Energy◦ Materials
Care Innovation November 2010
Businesses which prepare for and take advantage of the new energy reality will prosper - failure to do so could be catastrophic
Market dynamics and environmental factors mean business can no longer rely on low cost traditional energy sources
China and growing Asian economies will play an increasingly important role in global energy security
We are heading towards a global oil supply crunch and price spike Energy infrastructure will become increasingly vulnerable as a result of
climate change and operations in harsher environments Lack of global regulation on climate change is creating an environment of
uncertainty for business, which is damaging investment plans To manage increasing energy costs and carbon exposure businesses must
reduce fossil fuel consumption Business must address energy-related risks to supply chains and the
increasing vulnerability of 'just-in-time' models Investment in renewable energy and 'intelligent' infrastructure is booming.
This revolution presents huge opportunities for new business partnerships

“Fresh sources of oil equivalent to the output of four Saudi Arabia's will have to be found simply to maintain present levels of supply by 2030”
“in addition to the 45 millions barrels simply to stand still an additional 20 million would be required to keep pace with surging demand”
