World Energy Outlook 2010 Dr. Fatih Birol IEA Chief Economist 11 November 2010 © OECD/IEA 2010 The context: A time of unprecedented uncertainty 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 – 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? © OECD/IEA 2010 International oil price assumptions 140 Current Policies Scenario 120 New Policies Scenario 100 450 Scenario 80 Dollars perbarrel(2009) Dollars 60 40 20 0 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2035 The age of cheap oil is over, though policy action could bring lower international prices than would otherwise be the case © OECD/IEA 2010 Recent policy commitments, if implemented, would make a difference World primary energy demand by region in the New Policies Scenario 18 000 Rest of world Mtoe 16 000 China 14 000 OECD 12 000 10 000 8 000 6 000 4 000 2 000 0 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 Global energy use grows by 36%, with non-OECD countries – led by China, where demand surges by 75% – accounting for almost all of the increase © OECD/IEA 2010 Emerging economies dominate the growth in demand for all fuels Incremental primary energy demand in the New Policies Scenario, 2008-2035 OECD Coal China Oil Rest of world Gas Nuclear Hydro Other renewables - 600 - 300 0 300 600 900 1 200 1 500 Mtoe Demand for all types of energy increases in non-OECD countries, while demand for coal & oil declines in the OECD © OECD/IEA 2010 Fossil-fuel subsidies are distorting price signals Economic value of fossil-fuel consumption subsidies by country, 2009 70 Electricity (generated from 60 fossil fuels) Gas 50 Billion dollars Billion Oil Coal 40 30 20 10 0 Iran Iraq UAE India Libya Egypt China Qatar Russia Kuwait Mexico Algeria Ukraine Pakistan Malaysia Thailand Indonesia Argentina Venezuela Uzbekistan Bangladesh Kazakhstan South Africa South Saudi Arabia Saudi Turkmenistan Fossil-fuel consumption subsidies amounted to $312 billion in 2009, down from $558 billion in 2008, with the bulk of the fall due to lower international prices © OECD/IEA 2010 Booming demand for mobility in the emerging economies drives up oil use Passenger vehicles in the New Policies Scenario 1 600 China Million 1 400 Other non-OECD 1 200 United States 1 000 Other OECD 800 600 400 200 0 1980 1990 2000 2008 2020 2035 The global car fleet will continue to surge as more & more people in China & other emerging economies buy a car, overshadowing modest growth in the OECD © OECD/IEA 2010 Oil production becomes less crude World oil production by type in the New Policies Scenario 100 Unconventional oil mb/d 80 Natural gas liquids Crude oil - fields yet 60 to be developed or found Crude oil – currently 40 producing fields Total crude oil 20 0 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 Global oil production reaches 96 mb/d in 2035 on the back of rising output of natural gas liquids & unconventional oil, as crude oil production plateaus © OECD/IEA 2010 More oil from fewer producers Incremental oil production by key country in the New Policies Scenario, 2009-2035 Saudi Arabia OPEC Iraq Non-OPEC Brazil Kazakhstan Canada Venezuela UAE Kuwait Iran Qatar Nigeria Libya Algeria 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 mb/d Production rises most in Saudi Arabia & Iraq, helping to push OPEC’s market share from 41% today to 52% by 2035, a level last seen prior to the first oil shock of 1973-1974 © OECD/IEA 2010 A golden age for gas?
