- Myth: there are not enough of various minerals. Rare earths, cobalt, nickel, copper are common candidates. This is a perennial argument and comes from three fallacies. First to assume you need everything at once Technology reduces the need for the most expensive metals Price brings forward supply
- Myth: Fossil fuels provide lots of well-paying jobs. Fossil fuels are by the few for the few. Small number of jobs and a large amount of money going to a small number of people. Fossil fuels are in a very small number of locations. About 90% of the world’s oil is controlled by 5% of its population. Solar and wind are everywhere. Renewable based systems have far more local jobs than fossil fuel systems. There are 11 million jobs in fossil fuel extraction and 10 million in renewables.
- There are of course a number of other assumptions that one can make. Energy demand growth is likely to be 1-1.5% Solar and wind supply growth is likely to be 15-20% This gives a range of peak fossil fuel demand from 2020 to 2027. So it is reasonable to say that the 2020s will be the peaking decade.
- Myth. Electricity is small and not that important. Only 20% of end demand. This is true but irrelevant. There is an error at the heart of most energy calculations. People compare electricity which is high quality and can be used at once with fossil fuels which need conversion and suffer inevitable thermodynamic losses As a result 43% of all energy supply is needed to make electricity. And because the world is electrifying, nearly three quarters of the growth ins supply comes form electricity This is like those who said cars are not horses or mobile phones are not landlines.
- The argument is that the share of coal in electricity supply is the same today as it was 30 years ago. So there has been no change and will be no change. Look at the detail. All the growth came from China. The era of rapid coal demand growth in China is over. Other countries will not pick up the slack because they have cheaper cleaner alternatives It is a mistake to look backwards not forwards
- Disruption requires simplicity. Detailed models struggle to model radical change. Peak fossil fuel demand in total means that each sector has to peak. All fossil fuels are subject to regulatory pressure Fossil fuels compete with each other and with renewables. Technology and the markets are encouraging this.
- Fossil fuels are by the few for the few 8 out of ten people live in countries that import fossil fuels
- Transition risk impacts not just the producers of fossil fuels, but related sectors, from electricity to automotive, from fertilizers to capital goods. These sectors comprise up to a quarter of global equity indices. According to Fitch, 25% of bonds are in sectors impacted by the transition. Moody’s recently released a report where they identified $2.2 tn of bonds which have significance exposure to the transition
