1 3rd Transatlantic Market Conference Growth & Security: Energy and Energy Transportation Status and future developments of biofuels in Europe and the US Washington, D.C., May 2007 Dr.-Ing. Ludolf Plass, Lurgi AG

2 The Blue Planet at Night Distribution of Energy Consumption 2

3 Global Challenge??? Dr. Heinrich/UOP R&D Refining Panel / Increase in passenger car fuel consumption 2004: India: 10% China: 15% Indonesia: 3 % EU: 1,2% USA: 0% Group Research Powertrain VOLKSWAGEN AG 3

4 Fulfilling Mankind's Needs A Challenge for the Technology How to fulfill mankind's needs in future? How to overcome the imbalance between industrialized and developing countries? 4

5 Energy security: Few major concerns World population rises by people / day 200 Mio. new energy consumers per year By 2015: 70% of world daily oil needs and 80% of oil trade only from three areas: - West Africa - Russia - Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq) Oil resources held by state owned companies hinder free flowing investments to asset rich producing and exporting areas: ~ 0,56 trillion $ / year investment required (IEA) ~ 20% more than in 1990 s 5

6 Energy Security : Need for partnership Strong inpendences between - public policy decision making - private sector action Energy security / energy policy must be international Typical examples - Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline (private sector with state owned companies / governments) - decarbonised fuels (supportive regulatory and fiscal systems by governments) Further developments - clear targets through public policy - externalities like carbon emissions priced Next 20 years: fundamental change in energy business 6

7 Development of Energy Consumption Energy consumption will approx. double between 2000 and 2050 In 30 years, renewable energy will be equivalent to the amount of energy from fossil fuels today 7

8 Long term oil demand / supply outlook Developing countries show the strongest demand increase Only OPEC can increase supplies substantially Area Demand Supply Million b/d OECD 49,8 52,9 20,5 19,5 Developing countries 28,7 52,9 16,1 19,9 Transition countries 4,7 5,7 11,7 16,5 Total no OPEC 83,2 113,1 50,1 58,9 OPEC not counted 33,1 54, World 83,2 113,1 83,2 113,1 Source: OPEC 8

9 Renewable resources: High potential worldwide..., but development is necessary Energy from renewable resources can be increased from ~10% today to ~30% by 2050 Mrd. t SKE 2, North America ,0 W.Europe E.Europe Near East & 0,9 410 North Africa CIS & 3, Baltic States East Asia 3, Japan Ameri , South Asia ,4 Caribean & Oceania harvesting residues Latin America sub-saharan America World energy consumption 2005 ~ 17 Bn t tce/biomass ~ 10% World energy consumption 2050 ~ 27 Bn t tce/biomass ~ 30% Source: Utrecht University Faaji

10 Energy security, what can be done No go Military means no option Isolation means no option Self sufficiency means no option Go Develop maximum diversity of supply / infrastructure Oil upstream investments have risen by >50% $ 50 bn/a Investment required Global gas market emerging: more pipelines / LNG Raise recovery rates of existing oil / gas fields Develop next generation of supplies Alternative energies, that are low in carbon 10

11 Alternative Energies Advance Alternative energies will have a major effect on world energy demand on medium and long term But requirements are: Development of CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) CO2 emissions properly costed CO2 trading mechanism developed worldwide Development of technologies Carbon capture sequestration (CCS) CO2-utilization for enhanced oil recovery Wind / solar power / hydrogen / combined cycle gas turbines CO2 recycle: Utilization of Alges, Methanol from sequested CO2 and renewable Hydrogen Synthetic fuels from biomass 11

12 Development of Fuel Mix in Europe: Vision 2030 Less than 40 percent of fuel will be based on oil Hydrogen regenerativ ~4% SynFuel based on natural gas ~35% Oil based < 10 ppm Sulfur ~38% Oil based <500 ppm Sulfur SunFuel based on Biomass Others (Biodiesel, Bioethanol) ~23% ~ 60 Mio. tpy today Years Source: VW Fuel Strategy Vision total 2030: fuel-consumption only - 38% in based 2030 on ~ 250 oil Mio. tpy 12
