The context: fresh challenges
add to already worrying trends
 Economic concerns have diverted attention from energy policy
and limited the means of intervention
 Post-Fukushima, nuclear is facing uncertainty
 MENA turmoil raised questions about region’s investment plans
 Some key trends are pointing in worrying directions:
 CO2 emissions rebounded to a record high
 energy efficiency of global economy worsened for 2nd straight year
 spending on oil imports is near record highs

US oil imports drop due to rising domestic output & improved transport efficiency: EU imports
overtake those of the US around 2015; China becomes the largest importer around 2020

What impact would deferred
investment in MENA have on markets?
 MENA is set to supply the bulk of the growth in oil output
to 2035, requiring investment of over $100 billion/annum
 ‘Deferred Investment Case’ looks at near-term investment
falling short by one-third
 possible drivers include new spending priorities, higher perceived risks, etc
 MENA production falls 3.4 mb/d by 2015 and 6.2 mb/d by 2020
 Consumers face a near-term rise in oil prices to $150/barrel
 MENA earns more initially, but then less as market share is lost

International coal markets & prices become increasingly sensitive to developments in Asia;
India surpasses China as the biggest coal importer soon after 2020

Australia’s energy resources underpin
its economy & rising prosperity in Asia
 Australia will play a key role in meeting the rise in global energy demand
 Consolidates position as world's largest exporter of hard coal
 exports reach over 300 Mtce in 2020
 more efficient power plants & CCS could bolster prospects even further
 LNG exports expand to 85 bcm in 2020 and 115 bcm in 2035, more than a
four-fold increase on today
 LNG export capacity catches up with that of Qatar
 Coal & natural gas export revenues exceed $2 trillion through to 2035
 Key challenge is to reap the benefits of the resources boom while
avoiding the potential pitfalls

Global second thoughts on nuclear
would have far-reaching consequences
 “Low Nuclear Case” examines impact of nuclear component
of future energy supply being cut in half
 Gives a boost to renewables, but increases import bills,
reduces diversity & makes it harder to combat climate change
 By 2035, compared with the New Policies Scenario:
 coal demand increases by twice Australia’s steam coal exports
 natural gas demand increases by two-thirds Russia’s natural gas net exports
 power- sector CO2 emissions increase by 6.2%
 Biggest implications are for countries with limited energy
resources that planned to rely on nuclear power

to climb to $250 billion in 2035 as rising deployment outweighs improved competitiveness

If we don’t change direction soon,
we’ll end up where we’re heading
 In a world full of uncertainty, one thing is sure:
rising incomes & population will push energy needs higher
 Oil supply diversity is diminishing, while new options
are opening up for natural gas
 Coal – the “forgotten fuel” – has underpinned growth, but its
future will be shaped by uptake of efficient power plants & CCS
 Power sector investment will become increasingly
capital intensive with the rising share of renewables
 Australia’s energy wealth is set to play a vital role,
both domestically & internationally
 Despite steps in the right direction, the door to 2°C is closing
