The start of a new energy era?

Universal agreement from COP21 is an historic milestone that can

stimulate energy sector innovation

Pledges of 180+ countries account for 95% of energy-related emissions

Renewables capacity additions at a record-high of 130 GW in 2014

2015 has seen lower prices for all fossil fuels

Oil & gas could face second year of falling upstream investment in 2016

Coal prices remain at rock-bottom as demand slows in China

Demand growth in Asia – the sequel

By 2040, India’s energy demand closes in on that of the United States, even though demand per capita remains 40% below the world average

If oil prices stay lower for much longer: what would it take, what would it mean?

Much more resilient non-OPEC supply & higher output from a stable

Middle East could maintain downward pressure on oil prices

Oil importers gain, each $1/bbl reduction is $15 billion off import bills;

major window of opportunity to press ahead with subsidy reform

If lower prices persist for decades, reliance on Middle East oil gets back

to 1970s levels; risk of a sharp market rebound if investment falls short

Lower prices could undercut essential policy support for renewables &

energy efficiency, key pillars of the energy transition

Reduction in revenues to key producers & boost to global oil demand

growth make a prolonged period of lower prices progressively less likely

Natural gas demand and supply in developing Asia

The big opportunities & uncertainties for natural gas are in Asia

Developing Asia accounts for almost half of the rise in global gas demand & 75% of the increase in imports, but gas faces strong competition from renewables & coal

India moving to the centreof the world energy stage

Change in demand for selected fuels, 2014-2040

New infrastructure, an expanding middle class & 600 million new electricity consumers mean a large rise in the energy required to fuel India’s development

Power is leading the transformationof the energy system

Global electricity generation by source

Driven by continued policy support, renewables account for half of additional global generation, overtaking coal around 2030 to become the largest power source

The coverage of climate pledges is impressive

Climate pledges for COP21 are consistent with a temperature rise of 2.7 °C, with investment needs of $13.5 trillion in low-carbon technologies & efficiency to 2030

Climate pledges decouple power sector emissions from electricity demand

World electricity generation

The share of low-carbon power generation grows to almost 45% in 2030 so that power emissions remain flat, while electricity demand grows by more than 40%

Conclusions

COP21 sends strong signal for a low-carbon transition – focus must

turn to implementation, tracking & building ambition

Low prices bring gains to consumers, but can also sow the seeds

of future risks to energy security: no room for complacency

India’s energy needs are huge: there is a strong shared interest

to support India’s push for clean & efficient technologies

China’s transition to a more diversified & much less energy-intensive

model for growth re-shapes energy markets

With looming energy security & environmental challenges,

international cooperation on energy has never been more vital
