11 What impact will basic access have on energy demand and climate... a. Upward pressures: population needing access might grow from 1.1 billion today to >1.5 billion by 2030 if no action (Cf. WEO 2011) b. Downward dynamics: from access to actual energy consumption Poor (mostly rural) populations don t consume much Limited resources and limited opportunities for consumerism From energy consumption to CO 2 emissions: High % rural population (~85%) and many remote households (e.g., logistical challenges for re-fueling) favors off-grid, incl. small/mini grids and household systems facilitates renewable systems. Various donors have preference for renewables High % of renewables further delinks access from emissions

WEO 2011) Energy for all* by 2030 b. Downward dynamics: from access to actual energy consumption would increase only minimally Poor (mostly rural) populations don t consume much Limited resources and limited opportunities for consumerism global demand ( ~ 1% or less) From energy consumption to CO 2 emissions: and High % rural population (~85%) and many remote households (e.g., logistical challenges for re-fueling) favors off-grid, incl. small/mini grids and household systems GHG emissions ( ~ 0.5% to negative) facilitates renewable systems.

24 What is driving future demand growth? The Emergent Consumer Class What is the emergent consumer class? middle class segment ($10-100/d/person, 2005 PPP), rich (>$100/day), and aspirants consumer segment (~$3-10/d) wedged between middle and extreme poor; Emergent consumer class does not include extreme poor, who consume little (except local traditional biomass, with little impact on global flows) Numbers growing from less than 2B in 1990 to nearly 4B in 2015 to over 6B in 2030 (OECD pop remains constant around 1.2B) Developing country energy demand projected to grow by nearly 4000 Mtoe by 2040 (double the U.S. demand), while access needs <200 Mtoe Source: Benoit (CSIS, 2018)

25 What is driving future demand growth? The Emergent Consumer Class Emergent consumer class responsible (directly and indirectly) for most of energy demand More demand for: Transport (from minibuses to commuter trains to personal cars) New homes/apartments, cars, petrochemicals, appliances, ACs, etc. China s emergent consumer population grew from less than 60% in 1990 to over 96% today China s exporting smaller share of its GDP (down from 35% in 2006 to 18% in 2016); GDP net of exports is over $9 trillion; net exports <5% of GDP; more/most of its GDP is being used for domestic consumption In 2018, Chinese domestic retail purchases projected to equal U.S. at $5.8 trillion (more than the GDP of Japan, Germany or any other country) As China goes, will (can) other developing countries follow?

52 Epilogue Closing thoughts

53 Some closing thoughts Energy has fueled the recent economic & social development boom but climate constraint fundamentally alters the role of energy going forward As developing countries grow, energy demand will also grow... While some growth in energy demand in developing countries is consistent with 2 o C target, we need to delink economic growth from emissions Need to meet challenge of increasing household/business consumption that will accompany poverty reduction and wealth creation Requires focus on the emergent consumer class (soon to number 6B) and their aspirations for transport, appliances, heating, cooling, etc. Access for 1.1B poorer households only affects climate at the margin but as poor (hopefully) move towards middles class status, increasing consumerism and energy demand will generate pressure on climate Lowering emissions in developed countries faster and deeper leaves more room for growth in developing countries consistent with 2 O C
