1 Energy Availability and the Future of the Fertilizer Industry Rayola Dougher API Senior Economic Advisor

2 Energy: the engine of our economic growth

3 Quadrillion BTU The U.S. will require 10 percent more energy in 2040 and more than half of it will be met by oil and natural gas Hydro Renewables Nuclear Coal Natural Gas Oil 0 Source: EIA

4 U.S. oil and natural gas production is increasing as a result of technological innovations U.S. Crude Oil Production (millions of barrels per day) U.S. Natural Gas Marketed Production (billions of cubic feet per day) Note: Bars in orange show EIA s Short-term Energy Outlook forecast.

5 Shale resources are widely dispersed across the U.S.

6 New technology allows for additional access to resources

7 The technology is designed to protect the environment

8 What Administration officials have to say about hydraulic fracturing Former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar (Sept 2013) Hydraulic fracturing is creating an energy revolution in the United States. I would say to everybody that hydraulic fracturing is safe. Former Energy Secretary Steven Chu (Sept 2013) Drilling for shale gas can be done safely. Then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson in 2012: In no case have we made a definitive determination that the fracking process has caused chemical contamination of groundwater.

9 Shale production is offsetting declining production from other U.S. oil and natural gas resources

13 Industrial production expands in response to competitive advantage of low natural gas prices Industrial production benefits from strong growth in shale gas production Lower natural gas prices lower costs of both raw material and energy Chemical and fertilizer facilities are seeing increased utilization with lower natural gas prices Energy-intensive industry can be more competitive in the global market

14 Shale energy can lead to American prosperity American consumers annual savings due to lower gas prices resulting from shale energy development (IHS Global Insight)
