Domestic economic development is the primary driver, underpinned by domestic energy security. Government engagement is constrained and there are few levies or subsidies. International treaties, where they exist, are ineffective.
Fact 1
To meet the energy needs of all the people in the world, global energy supplies will have to double before 2050.
Fact 2
The world has sufficient energy resources, knowledge, skills and capital to meet the supply needs; the challenge is to get them from where they are plentiful to where they are needed most
Fact 3
We can address the worlds accessibility needs in harmony with the effective management of acceptability, thereby mitigating against both social and environmental degradation.
Fact 4
Higher energy prices (or the expectation of it) will drive efficiency and attract capital investment in developed countries but robust international cooperation and integration is necessary to avoid unintended negative consequences and exacerbating energy poverty in developing countries.
Fact 5
Private sector engagement is essential influencing national policy, driving business policy, and ensuring focus on sustained delivery of the policy intent.
Security
Energy security depends on a number of factors (see table) Countries with a diverse energy mix are less at risk than those relying on 1 or 2 sources Renewable potential could be used to offset declining fossil fuel reserves or supply interruptions Reliance on long distance international trade in fossil fuels may be risky Demand and dependency are important too, as it is difficult to replace a large amount of oil with another energy source for instance
Domestic fossil fuel reserves Countries like Italy and Japan have few of their own resources
Domestic renewable potential Small, crowded nations like Singapore and South Korea lack renewable potential Import pathway risk The UK imports gas from Russia and Qatar, both long distance pathways.
Domestic energy mix France relies heavily on nuclear power, and the UK on gas.
There are number of sources of tension, both present and future, related to energy security and the threat of insecurity Scenario Oil hits $100 Explanation
Sustained oil price of over $100 per barrel, for several years.
Consequences
Prolonged economic recession and rising fuel poverty in OECD countries
Tensions in the Gulf escalate into war between Muslim factions; possibly involving Iran, Iraq, Israel, Syria, Turkey and others.
Wholesale shifting towards nuclear to replace fossil fuels, leads to global spread of nuclear power and technology The Gulf States hold 60%+ of oil reserves and Russia/Qatar/ Iran 60%+ of gas; the world has not shifted to renewables. Canada, Russia, USA and EU begin to exploit the Arctic for oil and gas, but without clear delineation of territorial areas.
Interruption of oil and gas flows; rising prices; tension between China and USA to secure oil supply
Power stations become soft targets for terrorism; enriched uranium and depleted plutonium get into the wrong hands. Energy superpowers begin to name their price and take care of their friends; major geopolitical shifts A war or words over who has the right to exploit what, quickly becomes a new cold war possibly a hot one
Energy superpowers
Arctic attack
Geographical structure
Hydropower
Wind energy
Electricity access
Employment in energy
The energy markets are shrinking no chance for creating new jobs
European Union
Conclusion
The demand for energy is growing at a steady pace
