2. The context:The context: A time of unprecedentedA time of unprecedented
uncertaintyuncertainty
 The worst of the global economic crisis appears to be over –
but is the recovery sustainable?
 Oil demand & supply are becoming less sensitive to price –
what does this mean for future price movements?
 Natural gas markets are in the midst of a revolution

 Natural gas markets are in the midst of a revolution –
will it herald a golden era for gas?
 Copenhagen Accord & G-20 subsidy reforms are key advances –
but do they go far enough & will they be fully implemented?
 China & other emerging economies will shape the global energy
future – where will their policy decisions lead us?

10. A golden age for gas?A golden age for gas?
 Gas is set to play a key role in meeting the world’s energy needs
> demand rises by 44%, led by China & Middle East
 Unconventional gas accounts for 35% of the increase in global
supply to 2035, with new non-US producers emerging
© OECD/IEA 2010
 Gas glut will peak soon, but may dissipate only very slowly
 The glut will keep pressure on gas exporters to move away from
oil-price indexation, notably in Europe
 Lower prices could lead to stronger demand for gas, backing out

 The 450 Scenario sets out an energy pathway consistent with
limiting the increase in temperature to 2°C
 Assumes vigorous implementation of Copenhagen Accord
pledges to 2020 & much stronger action thereafter
 The failure of the Copenhagen Accord pledges
© OECD/IEA 2010
 The failure of the Copenhagen Accord pledges:
> As many lack transparency, there is 3.9 Gt of uncertainty over the
level of abatement pledged to 2020
> As many lack ambition, the cost of achieving the 2° C goal has
increased by $1 trillion in 2010-2030 compared with WEO-2009

23. Summary & conclusionsSummary & conclusions
 Recently announced policies can make a difference, but fall well
short of what is needed for a secure & sustainable energy future
 Lack of ambition in Copenhagen has increased the cost of
achieving the 2°C goal & made it less likely to happen
> Unless commitments are fully implemented by 2020, it will be all
but impossible to achieve the goal
© OECD/IEA 2010
but impossible to achieve the goal
 The age of cheap oil is over, though policy action could bring
lower international prices than would otherwise be the case
 Renewables are entering the mainstream, but long-term
support is needed to boost their competitiveness
 Getting the prices right, by phasing-out fossil-fuel subsidies,
is the single most effective measure to cut energy demand
