INTERVIEW with Christoph Frei, Secretary General of the World Energy Council BY YAN TING
WHAT are the implications of higher
oil prices (and price volatility) on the
global economic recovery?
Christoph Frei History shows that energy
security and affordable energy prices
support growth and prosperity. However,
just focusing on one dimension of the
Energy Trilemma is misleading as we
have equally important challenges on
the broad infrastructure investment and
energy security side, the climate and
pollution side, as well as on the energy
access and affordability side. Meeting
the triple challenge of the energy
trilemma – energy security, energy
equity/affordability, and environmental
mitigation – is the only way to achieve
robust and sustainable energy systems.
There is no short-cut to a balanced
energy trilemma approach and most of
the world’s countries struggle with
getting the right balance. We know this
from our annual Energy Sustainability
Index, a global ranking of countries on
their energy policy performance. There is
much work to be done at the national
level when it comes to energy security.
Today, every single country needs to
mobilise capital for energy infrastructure
renewal, transition and expansion.
Political and regulatory risk is the major
factor that prevents the mobilisation of
the capital required. Balanced policy
frameworks in terms of the WEC’s
energy trilemma are the best guarantee to
avoid sudden and dramatic policy changes –
political risk – and therefore fulfilling a condition
for the mobilisation of the required capital. This
is easier said than done, but the point is that
energy security cannot be considered in
isolation as for every single country it has to be
part of a balanced policy approach, taking
into account energy affordability, energy
access and environmental issues. Eventually, a
good Trilemma balance is a strong and
perhaps the only basis for prosperity and
competitiveness of individual countries. Yan Ting It is forecasted by IEA that the US will have
become the biggest oil producer by 2017 and
self-sufficient in energy by the 2030s. To what
extent will this change the global energy
landscape? Christoph Frei The US success in
unconventionals has already changed the
energy landscape in that it is lifting the
US economy out of the recession and into a
great competitive advantage in comparison to
Europe or Asia. The key questions are whether
the shale success can be replicated elsewhere
and whether the shale revolution leads to a
LNG market that benefits Asia and Europe.
Both are not a given.
Yan Ting China has the world’s fastest growing and
the biggest energy demand but there are mounting
signs that China’s energy use, like its economy, may
have shifted to a lower gear. How do you look at
China’s economic prospect and its energy demand
in the future?
Christoph Frei China has a multiple success story to
tell: it has almost eradicated energy poverty over
the last decade; it has seen the most dramatic
energy efficiency improvements; and it has
established itself as “the world’s Saudi Arabia” of
renewables. However, there are also challenges.
China today struggles with pollution in air, water, soil
with costly impacts on food, health and economic
prosperity. After a decade of focus on energy
security the focus of the next decade will be on
mitigating pollution.
Yan Ting Is it likely that the rapid boom in cheap
shale gas supplies in North America will be
replicated elsewhere in the short term?
Christoph Frei Last year, out of 45000 wells only 3900
were drilled outside North America: The shale
revolution is still largely a US phenomenon. China,
Russia and Argentina are among the countries
which do have immense unconventionals potential
and would like to see the US success replicated in
their own country. However, it takes a number of
factors to make the replication of the US success
story feasible. These factors include geology,
availability of water, availability of pipelines,
equipment, roads to transport the equipment,
capital, attractive fiscal incentives and mineral
rights, as well as the right managerial skills. These stars
need to be aligned to allow for a successful
replication and the reality in countries with resources
outside North America is simply very different.
Last year, out of 45000 wells only 3900
were drilled outside North America: The
shale revolution is still largely a US
phenomenon.
“Clearly, we are very concerned, and our World Energy Scenarios with a 2050 timeline illustrate this”
Could you talk about WEC’s cooperation with
China?
Christoph Frei China has been active with
WEC for a long time and has recently
increased its involvement with WEC through
much greater participation in our governance
and interest in our events and studies. The
largest number of delegates in our governance
measured by country is Chinese. The second
largest delegation at our World Energy
Congress last year was from China. There have
been increasing numbers of Chinese
companies at our annual African event, the
Africa Energy Indaba. In terms of our content
work China has also started to become more
active but there is more to be done on that
side.
Yan Ting Although still the world's biggest
emitter, China has leapfrogged in the efforts to
improve energy-efficiency. How do you
comment on China’s progress in this regard?
What are China’s challenges going forward?
Christoph Frei Over the past two decades
China has led the world’s achievements on
energy efficiency. This was achieved through
technological leapfrogging, introduction of
highly efficient energy infrastructure, and very
tough legislation requiring companies to
become more energy efficient. However, as
everywhere else, the progress has slowed
down. Globally we have seen slower progress
in energy efficiency over the past five years
compared to the average over the past two
decades. The same reality can be seen in
China. Energy efficiency is no low-hanging fruit
and in the country with the world’s highest and
fasted-growing number of megacities a key
challenge forward will be to find energy-
effective urban and social models that keep
energy needs and pollution low.
China will end the "blind expansion" into wind and solar
energy, instead developing nuclear power, hydropower,
and shale gas.
Yan Ting What’s your suggestion for China to solve the
overcapacity problem in wind and solar sector?
Christoph Frei We have seen in China, Germany and
other countries where renewables have grown fast that
key success factors for the energy transformation are
infrastructure planning, regional integration and adequate
market mechanism to deal with back-up capacity and
storage for moments without sun and wind. This leads to
three pillars of successful renewable integration. First, in
terms of infrastructure planning it simply makes sense to
build renewables where best resources are available.
Broad incentives that do not take into consideration the
resources distribution lead to higher investment needs than
needed and eventually to higher energy prices. Second,
regional integration is key for the best use of renewables.
Resources are often not at the same places as demand
centres or storage opportunities and intermittent resources
from different regions can complement themselves in their
time availability. And third, as the share of renewables is
increasing in the energy system, it becomes more
challenging to guarantee available capacity at all
moments in the absence of incentives for back-up
capacity or storage systems.
Yan Ting Amid major international economic
preoccupations, there are worrying signs that the issue of
climate change has slipped down the policy agenda. Do
you share the same concern?
Christoph Frei Our annual World Energy Issues Monitor
illustrates that the concerns of the global recession have in
2013 pushed the concern about climate framework
uncertainty off the top of what keeps energy leaders
globally most awake at night. In other words: we observe
that short term economic security trumps climate security.
Also, 900 global energy leaders from 84 countries who
participated in the last survey do not believe that the
mitigation technology CCS (carbon capture and storage)
is making an effective contribution in time. But at the same
time, there are some promising news, most importantly
being the recent US announcement of emission limits for
coal plants. At the World Energy Council we promote
balanced national energy policies including a climate
change objective, we suggest that CCS and electric
storage are areas that need greater international
collaboration for RD&D, and we have started looking at
infrastructure designs that are more resilient with regards to
extreme weather events.
Yan Ting Governments are negotiating under the UN to
forge a new global climate change agreement that
would be signed in 2015 but not come into force until
2020. Do you expect leaders to meet the deadline? Is 2020
too late to act?
Christoph Frei Clearly, we are very concerned, and our
World Energy Scenarios with a 2050 timeline illustrate this,
that without substantive innovation on the technology
and/or policy side, we have already failed the below 2
degree Celsius warming target by 2050.
Yan Ting How do you look at the prospect for energy
innovation in emerging markets?
Christoph Frei Energy innovation has many faces and is
much more than pure technology innovation. It is social
innovation, where ownership of cars or even the need to
drive may change; it is financing innovation where
innovative financing mechanisms will reach the
deadlocked energy efficiency segments or overcome
weather risks; it is entrepreneurial innovation where new
business models can deliver energy efficiency or rural
electricity; it is policy innovation where innovative market
designs will deliver storage and backup power in
electricity markets with high renewables shares; and yes, it
is technology innovation in areas such as electric storage
or CCS where breakthroughs would have profound system
implications. Scarcity has been said to be the mother of
innovation.
Great further ingredients are cultural diversity and high
social mobility. These emerging markets that are capable
of bringing the spices together may well be the ones that
tell us what the energy transformation really means.

Then there is the shape, completely round pearls are highly valued but asymmetrical drops are just as special. How well pearls match when in a strand or multi-pearl piece will affect the value too. Pearls make for some of the most exquisite and unusual jewels, so observing them is fun to do- especially if they happen to be unusual! GEM-A-PORTER visited the Yoko London Knightsbridge boutique and was literally swamped with pearls- Well this is the largest pearl specialist company in the world! Michael Hakimian, the man behind Yoko London specialises in rare and unusual colours of pearl as well as exceptional sizes of South Sea, Akoya and Freshwater cultured pearls. He travels across the globe to source pearls with exactly the right size, colour and lustre directly from pearl farms. It was way back in 1740 that the Hakimian family began it’s long association with jewellery when Nadit Shah of Persia asked them to guard and protect his jewelled treasures. Today, Yoko London sources the most unusual pearls in the world. The brand’s close relationship with the pearl farms has helped them secure these most unusually coloured pearls almost as soon as they are extracted from the water. Yoko London oversee every step of the pearl’s journey, from when they
first leave the sea and the creation of each individual design right through to the final setting alongside the craftsmen in their London workshop. Just take a look at how this multi-pearl necklace is created, notice how well the pearls mix! This heavenly necklace works with a soft graduation of pink; It could take the artisans at Yoko London years to find the right coloured pearls for a design! A most magical process! It never ceases to amaze me just what beauty mother nature can create. Particularly exciting are these latest purple and lavender freshwater pearls. Exceptional in size and with the most amazing lustre, these pearls are in themselves an extremely rare occurrence: Michael Hakimian himself said of the pearls: “In 35 years in the business, I have never seen pearls with such an intense purple colour, these pearls form a once in a lifetime collection.” By 2005 Yoko had accumulated a unique collection of exquisite pearls. This encouraged the Michael and the rest of the Hakimian family to create the first of their exceptional pearl jewellery designs. It’s here in the head office where thousands of pearls are sorted, graded and matched every single day. Thus ensuring that only the finest pearls are selected for Yoko London’s collections. Getting in to the details, there are a number of factors
that determine the type of cultured pearl. Firstly the different species of oysters and mussels they come from, each produces their own characteristic type and colour of pearl. The natural variations found in each oyster mean that colours of the pearls produced will vary. These natural colour ranges present the challenge of matching pearls in new jewellery designs. A process that will take a lot of time and effort to get right. The round shape of some pearls has led many cultures to associate this gem with the moon. In ancient China, pearls were believed to guarantee protection from fire and fire-breathing dragons. In Europe, they symbolized modesty, chastity, and purity. In 2013 Yoko London was chosen to represent modern pearl jewellery at the ‘Pearls’ exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum. The exhibition traced the history of pearls back from the Roman Empire to the present day. I was delighted to try on the special Yoko pearl set from the exhibition!
.
.
Pearls, beautiful in all their forms, come in all shapes and sizes. Have you ever wondered what the difference is between natural and cultured pearls? It’s just one of the questions I am often asked. Natural pearls form in the bodies of
certain mollusks, usually around a microscopic irritant and always without human help of any kind. These natural pearl sources have declined over the past century, mainly due to over fishing, pearl culturing and oil drilling. In contrast, creating cultured pearls needs intervention and care. It was the ancient Chinese who first discovered how to ‘create’ a pearl. They did this by inserting an object into the oyster to help grow the pearl. Kokichi Mikimoto, first brought these cultured pearls to a wider international audience at the beginning of the 20th century. In most cases, unless one’s pearls came from an auction house or have been handed down through the generations, it’s most likely to be cultured pearls. I am also always asked about the major types of cultured pearl available. One may have heard about Akoya cultured pearls from Japan and China. Another type of cultured pearl is the well known South Sea. These are found in countless colours, including a vibrant yellow from Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. My absolute favourite pearl is the Tahitian, found in the islands of French Polynesia. These range in colour from the luscious black pearls to the brighter white variations. One can also find that these pearls take on spectacular green, blue even aubergine surface shades, of which are in my own jewellery box! Freshwater cultured pearls are another important type, they are found in freshwater lakes and ponds throughout China and the US. By now you may be holding up your string of cultured pearls and wondering just what makes it special? (Apart from it’s obvious beauty that is) Firstly check its colour, although white is the most classic hue, I prefer more unusual natural colours. Then it’s lustre or surface reflections – pearls with high lustre give off sharp bright reflections from it’s surface making them very pretty to look at! The number of blemishes or marks on a pearl’s surface is also used to judge it’s overall quality.

SANTORINI is a small volcanic island around 73 km2 (28 sq mi) and is the southernmost island of the CYCLADES group of islands. The island is formed of the remains of an enormous volcanic eruption
that demolished early settlements and as a result formed a massive CALDERA of 12 by 7 km. (7.5 by 4.3 mi).Whether you are staying in a hotel in Imerovigli or arriving by a cruise
ship there are certain places in SANTORINI that cannot be missed.
A personal favourite is the idyllic town OIA. You will find that all of the
“greek stereotypes”, in other words, the blue roofs, the white houses
that were carved spectacularly into the cliffs, the infinite blue sea and
the numerous idyllic restaurants and bars that offer traditional greek
food, are certainly a very present factor in this location.
OIA’s restaurants serve a large variety of foods ranging from traditional
greek to high class greek fusion cuisine.
A personal favourite for the latter category is THE RED BICYCLE, ideal for
romantic summer dinners. If you would like to experience a more
traditional spot, head down to AMMOUDI, a beautiful harbour five
minutes away from OIA by car.
You will find that all the restaurants are located directly by the sea,
offering an incredible range of fresh fish and seafood.
SANTORINI may not be very known for its beaches but they are
definitely worth a visit. Since the island is volcanic, you will find different
types of rock on the island; the beaches are predominantly black but
there is also a white and a red beach close to KAMARI. Very close to
these beaches, as you are heading out to the most south eastern point
of the island, you can pass by the Minoan Bronze Age settlement of
AKROTIRI which was eradicated during the Theran eruption about 1627
BC. The excavations are in an extremely good condition making the
walk through the prehistoric settlement an absolutely enchanting
experience.
Around lunchtime, head over to the capital of the island FIRA (Thira in
Greek) and have lunch in one of the many restaurants, personally
recommended are KOUKOUMAVLOS and ARGO.
In both you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset with
high class food and a glass of local wine if you
decide to have dinner there. And ladies, you will
get lost in the high end boutiques in FIRA. The
prices are expensive but you definitely will find a
gem here and there that you just have to take
with you.

I may have been skeptical about the current economic situation in
GREECE before my TRIP but any
negative vibes quickly
dissapeared with one LOOK at the
AEGEAN blue SKY and SEA and
WHITE-WASHED cliffs. THE mythical
island of SANTORINI, in the
southern Aegean sea, is
breathtaking. This MAGICAL place
deserves more than one day of EXPLORING.

Athens Perhaps the best thing about Europe's oldest city is that almost everything you'll want to do is within walking distance. Cars have long since been banished, and a lot of the streets in central Athens are pedestrianised, which means the quickest and best way to get around this city often is on foot. Ermou Street, just off Syntagma Square, is Athens' main shopping street and a great place to start. At 1.5km, it's long but mostly pedestrianised and there are cafés and places to rest. On the main
such as Sephora, Hondos Center and Marks & Spencer. As you wander, look out for Folli Follie where you can pick up fashionable watches, bijoux jewellery, shawls, leather bags and accessories.
