World Energy Outlook Dr. Fatih Birol IEA Chief Economist Brussels, 29 April 2014 © OECD/IEA 2014 The world energy scene today Some long-held tenets of the energy sector are being rewritten Countries are switching roles: importers are becoming exporters… … and exporters are among the major sources of growing demand New supply options reshape ideas about distribution of resources But long-term solutions to global challenges remain scarce Renewed focus on energy efficiency, but CO2 emissions continue to rise Fossil-fuel subsidies increased to $544 billion in 2012 1.3 billion people still lack electricity – in Africa and South Asia Energy prices add to the pressure on policymakers Sustained period of high oil prices without parallel in market history Large, persistent regional price differences for gas & electricity © OECD/IEA 2014 Unconventional oil and gas has made a major contribution to global production US shale gas and shale oil production increases: 2005-2014 3.0 mb/d bcm 300 250 2.5 200 2.0 150 1.5 100 1.0 50 0.5 0 0.0 Gas Oil Growth in US shale gas output since 2005 is equivalent to the total production of Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and Iraq combined; while shale oil output is equal to that of Iraq © OECD/IEA 2014 Who has flooded the markets?

Ratio of industrial energy prices relative to the United States Natural gas Electricity 5× Reduction from 2013 4× 2035 2013 2003 3× 2003 2× United States Japan European Union China Japan European Union China Regional differences in natural gas prices narrow from today’s very high levels but remain large through to 2035; electricity price differentials also persist © OECD/IEA 2014 Energy-intensive industries need to count their costs Share of energy in total production costs for selected industries 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% Petrochemicals Fertilisers Aluminium Cement Iron & steel Pulp & paper Glass Energy-intensive sectors worldwide account for around one-fifth of industrial value added, one-quarter of industrial employment and 70% of industrial energy use. © OECD/IEA 2014 An energy boost to the economy? Share of global export market for energy-intensive goods +3% European Union +1% Today 36% 10% +2% +2% 7% 3% 2% China Middle East India Japan 7% United States -3% -10% The US, together with key emerging economies, increases its export market share Japan seesee a sharp decline for energy-intensive goods, while the EU & and Japan a sharp decline © OECD/IEA 2014 LNG from the United States can alleviate strain on the gas markets, but is no silver bullet Indicative economics of LNG export from the US Gulf Coast $/MBtu 18 15 12 $/MBtu 12 9 9 6 6 3 3 To Asia Average import price Liquefaction, shipping & regasification United States price To Europe New LNG supplies accelerate movement towards a more interconnected global market, but high costs of transport between regions mean no single global gas price © OECD/IEA 2014 A Third Way for Europe: balancing competitiveness & sustainability The high cost of energy in Europe is a structural issue, not a one off Europe’s share of the global export market for energy-intensive goods is set to decline substantially by 2035, directly impacting 30 million jobs Both competitiveness & sustainability are crucial issues for Europe, but it must not be seen as an “either-or” choice improve energy efficiency negotiate more competitive terms for natural gas imports develop renewables, nuclear power & unconventional gas complete the internal energy market 2014 a key year for Europe energy policy, it will shape its long-term prosperity & could provide powerful inspiration for others to follow © OECD/IEA 2014
