World Energy Outlook 2012 Marco Baroni Senior Energy Analyst Directorate of Global Energy Economics, IEA Lisbon, 13 November 2012
The context Foundations of global energy system shifting Resurgence in oil & gas production in some countries Retreat from nuclear in some others Signs of increasing policy focus on energy efficiency All-time high oil prices acting as brake on global economy Divergence in natural gas prices affecting Europe (with prices 5-times US levels) and Asia (8-times) Symptoms of an unsustainable energy system persist Fossil fuel subsidies up almost 30% to $523 billion in 2011, led by MENA CO 2 emissions at record high, while renewables industry under strain Despite new international efforts, 1.3 billion people still lack electricity

Natural gas: towards a globalised market Major global gas trade flows, 2010 2035 Rising supplies of unconventional gas & LNG help to diversify trade flows, putting pressure on conventional gas suppliers & oil-linked pricing mechanisms

Foundations of energy system shifting Policy makers face critical choices in reconciling energy, environmental & economic objectives Changing outlook for energy production & use may redefine global economic & geopolitical balances Iraq set to play a pivotal role in global oil markets Power mix set to change, bringing new challenges & opportunities As climate change slips off policy radar, the lock-in point moves closer & the costs of inaction rise The gains promised by energy efficiency are within reach & are essential to underpin a more secure & sustainable energy system
