The context: fresh challenges add to already worrying trends
Economic concerns have diverted attention from energy policy and limited the means of intervention
Post-Fukushima, nuclear is facing uncertainty
MENA turmoil raised questions about region’s investment plans
Some key trends are pointing in worrying directions:
CO2 emissions rebounded to a record high
energy efficiency of global economy worsened for 2nd straight year
spending on oil imports is near record highs

Consumption of coal unsurprisingly falls most in favour of more nuclear & renewables, but the scope of cutting oil use is limited by a lack of commercially viable substitutes

Renewable subsidies of $66 billion in 2010 (compared with $409 billion for fossil fuels), need to climb to $250 billion in 2035 as rising deployment outweighs improved competitiveness

The door to 2°C is closing, but will we be “locked-in” ?
Without further action, by 2017 all CO2 emissions permitted in the 450 Scenario will be “locked-in” by existing power plants, factories, buildings, etc

If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re heading
In a world full of uncertainty, one thing is sure: rising incomes & population will push energy needs higher
Oil supply diversity is diminishing, while new options are opening up for natural gas
Coal – the “forgotten fuel” – has underpinned growth, but its future will be shaped by uptake of efficient power plants & CCS
Power sector investment will become increasingly capital intensive with the rising share of renewables
The world needs Russian energy, while Russia needs to use less
Despite steps in the right direction, the door to 2°C is closing
