The context

Foundations of global energy system shifting

Resurgence in oil & gas production in some countries

Retreat from nuclear in some others

Signs of increasing policy focus on energy efficiency

All-time high oil prices acting as brake on global economy

Divergence in natural gas prices affecting Europe (with prices 5-times US levels) and Asia (8-times)

Symptoms of an unsustainable energy system persist

Fossil fuel subsidies up almost 30% to $523 billion in 2011, led by MENA

CO2 emissions at record high, while renewables industry under strain

Despite new international efforts, 1.3 billion people still lack electricity

Water increasingly crucial for assessing the viability of energy projects

Emerging economies steer energy markets

Share of global energy demand

Global energy demand rises by over one-third in the period to 2035, underpinned by rising living standards in China, India & the Middle East

Middle East oil to Asia: a new silk road

Middle East oil export by destination

By 2035, almost 90% of Middle Eastern oil exports go to Asia; North America’s emergence as a net exporter accelerates the eastward shift in trade

Iraq oil poised for a major expansion

Iraq oil production

Iraq accounts for 45% of the growth in global production to 2035; by the 2030s it becomes the second-largest global oil exporter, overtaking Russia

Natural gas: towards a globalised market

Major global gas trade flows, 2010

Rising supplies of unconventional gas & LNG help to diversify trade flows, putting pressure on conventional gas suppliers & oil-linked pricing mechanisms

Energy efficiency can help drive economic prosperity

Cumulative investments in energy efficiency of $12 trillion are more than offset by fuel savings & trigger economic growth of a cumulative $18 trillion

Room to manoeuvre

The Efficient World Scenario delays carbon lock-in

Energy efficiency can delay “lock-in” of CO2 emissions permitted under a 2 °C trajectory – which is set to happen in 2017 – until 2022, buying five extra years

Foundations of energy system shifting

Policy makers face critical choices in reconciling energy, environmental & economic objectives

Changing outlook for energy production & use may redefine global economic & geopolitical balances

Iraq set to play a pivotal role in global oil markets

As climate change slips off policy radar, the “lock-in” point moves closer & the costs of inaction rise

The gains promised by energy efficiency are within reach & are essential to underpin a more secure & sustainable energy system
