2 The context Soaring energy prices to mid 2008, followed by a collapse what will it mean for demand? How will the financial crisis & economic slowdown affect energy demand & investment? Will economic worries divert attention from strategic energy security & environmental challenges? Are we setting ourselves up for a supply crunch once the economy is back on its feet? Will negotiators at COP 15 in Copenhagen in 2009 have the political support needed to succeed?

3 World primary energy demand in the Reference Scenario: thisisunsustainable! Mtoe Other renewables Hydro Nuclear Biomass Gas Coal Oil World energy demand expands by 45% between now and 2030 an average rate of increase of 1.6% per year with coal accounting for more than a third of the overall rise

4 The continuing importance of coal in world primaryenergy demand Mtoe Increase in primary demand, % % = average annual rate of growth 100% Shares of incremental energy demand Reference Scenario, Coal All other fuels % % % 26% 2.6% 40% % 20% % Coal Oil Gas Renewables Nuclear 0% Non OECD OECD Demand for coal has been growing faster than any other energy source & is projected to account for more than a third of incremental global energy demand to 2030

5 Share of renewables in electricity generation in the Reference Scenario OECD World Non OECD Hydro Other (wind, solar, etc) 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% Soon after 2010, renewables become the 2 nd largest source of electricity behind coal, thanks to government support, prospects for higher fossil fuel prices & declining investment costs

6 Change in oil demand by region inthereference Scenario, OECD Pacific OECD Europe OECD North America Africa E. Europe/Eurasia Latin America Other Asia India Middle East China mb/d All of the growth in oil demand comes from non OECD, with China contributing 43%, the Middle East & India each about 20% & other emerging Asian economies most of the rest

7 Incremental world fossil fuel fuel productioninthereference in the Scenario mb/ /d Bcm Mtce Non OECD OECD Oil Gas Coal Almost all incremental oil & gas comes from non OECD regions, resulting in major structural changes to the industry with implications for global energy markets

11 World & city primary energy demand Mtoe Non OECD OECD Cities World Cities World Cities World Energy use in cities grows by 1.9% per year (versus 1.6% globally) between 2006 and 2030, pushing up their share of global energy demand from 67% to 73%

19 Summary & conclusions Current energy trends are patently unsustainable socially, environmentally, economically Cities will be a key player in the energy debate of the future, both as a source of energy demand and as the site of efforts to reduce energy consumption and combat climate change. The present economic worries do not excuse back tracking or delays in taking action to address energy challenges
