Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell
28th January 2008
"Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."

What is 1% of GDP?
• UK GDP (08/09) = £1,463,000,000,000
• 1% = £14,630,000,000 (£14.6 billion)
• £243.83 per person
• British Taxpayers have just provided £600
billion of loans, guarantees and capital to
rescue the UK’s Banks

Offshore wind
Biomass with solid recovered fuels (waste!)
Carbon capture & storage
Nuclear power

The heart of the matter DEMAND REDUCTION
• In 2003 final consumption of E was 336,218GWh
• In 2007 final consumption of E was 341,945GWh
• Up 1.7% or 5,727GWh
• Biomass projects in 2007 (Co-firing with fossil fuels, animal biomass & plant biomass) generated some 2,920 GWh of Electricity
• This was just 51% of the extra electricity we used over 48 months ending 2007
• Simplistically we are collectively squandering the efforts to DECARBONISE because we are failing to reduce DEMAND

‘To ensure we achieve maximum efficiency from all of our renewable energy projects we
need to remove some of the existing barriers to deployment. In the past, suppliers have
been critical over the cost & length of time it takes for planning permission to be granted.
While it is essential we maintain the democratic, participatory nature of our planning
system, we must balance that with wider national policy and industry needs.’
Malcolm Wicks, Minister of State for Energy DBERR

“In the past, we didn’t understand the effect of our actions. Unknowingly, we sowed the wind and now, literally, we are reaping the whirlwind. But we no longer have that excuse: now we do recognise the consequences of our behaviour. Now surely, we must act to reform it: individually & collectively; nationally & internationally.” David Attenborough
“Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.” David Ogilvy 1911-1999
