Outline
>Demand for materials continues to grow, also in
Europe
>The energy intensity of material production can
still go down significantly, but there are limits
>The challenge of 80-95% GHG emission reduction
in Europe, a fact based discussion on what to
expect from industry is necessary

Demand for materials will continue to grow…

The IEA projects that:
Crude steel production will grow from 1.2 Gt in 2010 to 2.4-2.9 Gt in 2050
Cement production will grow from 3.0 Gt in 2010 to 4.4-4.5 Gt in 2050
Ethylene production will grow from 0.1 Gt in 2010 to 0.3-0.4 Gt in 2050
Etc. Etc.

And Europe’s consumption is produced elsewhere…

How about the energy intensity, some examples

minimum
Primary steel 19-40 15 7
Ammonia 33-47 25 19
Cement 3-6 2.5 1
> Energy efficiency potentials by shifting all plants to current best available
technologies is about 30% of current energy use
> Emerging technologies have the potential to close part of the remaining gap
with the thermodynamic minima
> But it is difficult to imagine a potential improvement in energy intensity
improvement beyond 50% towards 2050…

Some elements of the post 2020 policy debate
15
> Production versus consumption based policies, what is the evidence
for carbon leakage and what to do to avoid it (slide 5 and 6) ?
> What is a realistic abatement path for Europe’s industry, given stock
turnover and technical possibilities (slide 10 – 13) ?
> Innovation: how to bridge the gap from current BAT to emerging
technologies to thermodynamic minima (slide 7-9) ?
> Beyond energy efficiency – what is the role of CCS / fuel shift and
electrification towards deep GHG reductions beyond 2030 (slide 11-
13) ?
> The link to resource efficiency and recycling – how can we keep our
resource demand under control (slide 4 and 9) ?
