2Global Energy Trends
3World Primary Energy Demand
Fossil fuels will continue to dominate the global
energy mix, while oil remains the leading fuel

Most of the increase in oil demand comes from the
transport sector especially in OECD countries
5China Oil Supply Balance
Chinas oil imports will soar from less than 2
mb/d now to almost 10 mb/d in 2030 equal to
over 74 of domestic demand

Transport oil demand in Non-OECD countries will
increase three times more than in the OECD
7Road Vehicle Stock
The vehicle stock increases much faster in
non-OECD regions, though most vehicles will still
be in the OECD in 2030
8Increase in Primary Gas Demand
Most of the increase in gas demand comes from the
power sector especially in OECD countries

10Environmental Implications
11CO2 emissions, 1971-2030
CO2 emissions will increase fastest in developing
countries, overtaking OECD in the 2020s
12CO2 emissions by sector,1990-2030
CO2 emissions in power generation and transport
are expected to increase the most

14Energy-Related CO2 Emissions EU Deficit vs.
Russia Surplus, 2008-2012
Russia average emissions surplus will equal EU
emissions deficit in the 2008-2012 period
15Electricity Deprivation
In 2030, if no major new policies are
implemented, there will still be 1.4 billion
people without electricity.
16World Alternative Policy Scenario
17World Alternative Policy Scenario
- Analyses impact of new environmental
energy-security policies worldwide - OECD Policies currently under consideration
- Non-OECD Also includes more rapid declines in
energy intensity resulting from faster deployment
of more-efficient technology - Impact on fuel-mix, environment cost
- Oil, gas electricity prices change
18Reduction in World Oil Demand in the Alternative
vs. Reference Scenario, 2030
Oil savings 12.8 mb/d
Oil savings in 2030 would be equivalent to the
combined current production of Saudi Arabia, UAE
and Nigeria
19OECD CO2 Emissions in the Reference and
Alternative Scenarios
OECD CO2 emissions peak around 2020 25 higher
than in 1990

Additional investments on the demand side are
more than offset by lower investment on the
supply side
21Conclusions
- On current policies, world energy needs will be
almost 60 higher in 2030 than now - Energy resources are more than adequate to meet
demand until 2030 well beyond - But projected market trends raise serious
concerns - Increased vulnerability to supply disruptions
- Rising CO2 emissions
- Huge energy-investment needs
- Persistent energy poverty
- More vigorous policies would save energy reduce
emissions significantly - But a truly sustainable energy system will call
for faster technology development deployment - Urgent decisive government action is needed
