4. Risk of fatal heat stress

5. Risk of Crop Failure (Rice)

6. Probability of exceeding 4°C

7. Probability of exceeding 7°C

8. • Climate Change Risk: looming catastrophe to be avoided, with
benefits including:
• Energy Security
• Health
• Prosperity
• UK commitment: 80% CO2 emissions reduction compared
with 1990; 52% by 2028.
• Long term CO2 neutrality target needed for about 2060

11. EU Energy Policy 2030 Targets
Delivery aided by European Energy Union.
1.) At least 40% reduction in GHG emissions compared to 1990.
2.) More than 27% Renewable Energy installed
3.) About 27% Energy Savings.

12. EU Energy Investment Needs 2010
- 2020
Power Generation – 500 bn euro
(Renewables 350 bn euro)
Transmission and Distribution – 600 bn euro
(Distrib – 400 bn euro; Transm – 200 bn euro).
TOTAL: 1 trillion eur

13. The engine of energy demand

moves to South Asia
Primary energy demand, 2035 (Mtoe)
China is the main driver of increasing energy demand in the current decade,
but India takes over in the 2020s as the principal source of growth

14. Trilateral Energy Storage Working
Group
• To accelerate innovation and deployment of energy storage
technologies
• To facilitate development of policy mechanisms & market
structure conducive for commercial utilisation
• To support the EC, national govts, innovation agencies and
industry towards EU leadership in commercial deployment.

18. Multi-vector, multi-scalar scope
for energy storage
A range of new energy storage technologies needed for a
range of applications:
• Small scale for distributed systems, eg for off-grid villages, kW
hr to MW hr
• Large scale for country-wide grids, GW hr to tens of GW hr.
• Different time scales, from 14 hour day-night to inter-
seasonal.
• Cost target: < $100 per kW hr.

19. G7 Heads of Government meeting,
June 2015
• Commitment to “decarbonise the global economy over the
course of this century.”
• “ We will work together and with other interested countries to
raise the overall coordination and transparency of clean
energy research, development and demonstration,
highlighting the importance of renewable energy and other
low-carbon technologies. We ask Energy Ministers to take
forward this initiative and report back to us in 2016.”

20. Functionality:

22. VariaLift Airship

23. Long-term commitmentto sea level rise

24. • In 2014 more renewable energy was installed worldwide than
fossil fuel.
• In UK: 11,500 companies employing 460,000 people are
involved in the new low carbon economy.
• Annual turnover in 2013: £44 bn.
• This is twice the turnover of our auto-manufacturing industry.
• Annual gross value = the food and drinks industry.
