Energy demand & transport growth WBCSD (IEA data) EIA, International Energy Outlook 2006 Total & transport energy demand predicted to grow by 70% from 2003 to 2030 Transportation growth dominated by aviation and passenger transport (and freight) World Energy Council 11 th March 2009 4
Transport energy sustainability Sustainability = Energy security Environmental Economic Climate change Social Economic and social elements of sustainability are an essential part of the mix Energy security and climate change are overlapping problems World Energy Council 11 th March 2009 5
Transport energy objectives Energy security Climate change More supply Diversification Lower Lower fossil content Lower carbon content The overlap of the two main objectives is clear Policy should be directed towards diversification, lower and lower carbon energy World Energy Council 11 th March 2009 6

Policy: overcoming barriers to entry Enabling new vehicle technologies Fuel infrastructure Improving efficiency, choice and mobility Transport infrastructure Overcoming barriers to entry in technology value chain Research Development Production Marketing Government process is essential: Assess benefits of technologies / infrastructure against climate & energy objectives Assess investment requirements Direct investment to where it has greatest cost/benefit ratio World Energy Council 11 th March 2009 23
