Highlights of IEA Reference Scenario

• Fossil fuels stay dominant: in 2002 80% market share; in 2030 82 %

• All growth in global energy consumption supplied by fossils

• Gas fastest grower in fossils

• Nuclear almost stable in capacity – reduced market share

• ‘Real’ renewables (wind, solar, modern biomass) make slow start

Pull Out all the Stops

Stop 1: New techniques to increase recovery existing fieldsStop 2: Find more oil and gas reservoirs

Stop 3: Reduce production costs

Stop 4: Develop unconventional oil and gas reserves

Stop 5: Develop commercial renewables

Stop 6: Gasification techniques

Stop 7: Environmental technology

Stop 8: R&D in nuclear powerStop 9: Energy conservation
