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

Today's share of fossil fuels in the global mix, at 82%, is the same as it was 25 years
ago; the strong rise of renewables only reduces this to around 75% in 2035

concentrated in transport, where diesel use surges by 5.5 mb/d,, & petrochemicals

The expansion of non-hydro renewables depends on subsidies that more than double
to 2035; additions of wind & solar have implications for power market design & costs

Regional differences in natural gas prices narrow from today’s very high levels
but remain large through to 2035; electricity price differentials also persist

Orientation for a fast-changing energy world
 China, then India, drive the growing dominance of Asia in global
energy demand & trade
 Technology is opening up new oil resources, but the Middle East
remains central to the longer-term outlook
 Regional price gaps & concerns over competitiveness are here
to stay, but there are ways to react – with efficiency first in line
 Implementing sound energy policies in Europe has rarely been so
critical for the prosperity of its people
