What Shapes Long Term Energy?

By 2050– demography: 8-10 billion people – incomes: average per capita $15-25k – urbanisation: 80% living in cities– liberalisation: markets increase possibilities

– demand expected to increase 2-3 times

Energy in the Future

• Increase in usage is inevitable

• Need abundant supply of energy

• Need sustainable supply of energy

Technology and human ingenuity will ensure that future energy demands will be met fairly, cleanly and peacefully

•Energy conservation•Development of renewable sources and biomass•Unconventional fossil fuels – heavy oil, coal bed methane, Gas Hydrates•New oil production techniques•More oil fields•Development of coal technology•CO2 sequestration

•Nuclear energy (Fission and Fusion)•Solar Thermal and PV
