<It’s the delivery stupid!>

Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell

28th January 2008

"Regardless

of which route we

choose, the world's

current predicament

limits our maneuvering

room. We are

experiencing a

step-change in the growth

rate of energy demand

due to population growth

and economic

development, and Shell

estimates that after

2015 supplies of

easy-to-access oil

and gas will no

longer keep

up with

demand."

Climate Change Act Targets

• 1990 baseline of CO2 emissions was approximately 590 million tons of CO2.

• An 80% reduction is based on the minimum reductions necessary to avoid causing catastrophic and permanent changes to the climate

• 80% of 590m tons = 118 million tonnes.

• The UK level of CO2 emissions (1.76 tonnes/capita cf. ~10 tonnes today) hasn’t been that low since…… when?
