INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE What is Energy Security?

Assessment approach  Quantitative framework based on indicators  Climate change: CO 2 emissions  Energy security implications of resource concentration: develop new indicators ♦Consider price and physical availability risk separately Price: oil, coal and gas Physical availability: gas

IPCC Stabilisation and equilibrium global mean temperatures Equilibrium temperatures reached after 2100 Uncertainty of climate sensitivity important Multigas and CO2 only studies combined

IPCC Long term mitigation (after 2030) [1] [1] The best estimate of climate sensitivity is 3ºC [WG 1 SPM]. [2][2] Note that global mean temperature at equilibrium is different from expected global mean temperature at the time of stabilization of GHG concentrations due to the inertia of the climate system. For the majority of scenarios assessed, stabilisation of GHG concentrations occurs between 2100 and [3][3] Ranges correspond to the 15 th to 85 th percentile of the post-TAR scenario distribution. CO 2 emissions are shown so multi-gas scenarios can be compared with CO 2 -only scenarios. Stab level (ppm CO2-eq) Global Mean temp. increase at equilibrium (ºC) Year global CO2 needs to peak Year global CO2 emissions back at 2000 level Reduction in 2050 global CO2 emissions compared to – – to – – to – – to – – to – – to – – to +140 Mitigation efforts over the next two to three decades will have a large impact on opportunities to achieve lower stabilization levels

IPCC Technology The range of stabilization levels can be achieved by –deployment of a portfolio of technologies that are currently available and –those that are expected to be commercialised in coming decades. This assumes that appropriate and effective incentives are in place for development, acquisition, deployment and diffusion of technologies and for addressing related barriers

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Recent Policy Developments

IPCC IPCC: What are the macro-economic costs in 2030? Trajectories towards stabilization levels (ppm CO 2 -eq) Median GDP reduction[1][1] (%) Range of GDP reduction [2][2] (%) Reduction of average annual GDP growth rates [3][3] (percentage points) – 1.2< – 2.5< [4][4]Not available< 3< 0.12 [1][1] This is global GDP based market exchange rates. [2][2] The median and the 10 th and 90 th percentile range of the analyzed data are given. [3][3] The calculation of the reduction of the annual growth rate is based on the average reduction during the period till 2030 that would result in the indicated GDP decrease in [4][4] The number of studies that report GDP results is relatively small and they generally use low baselines. Costs are global average for least cost appoaches from top-down models Costs do not include co-benefits and avoided climate change damages

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE New White House Initiative To convene high-level meeting of 15 largest emitters to develop long term framework by 2008  The participants will develop parallel national commitments to promote key clean energy technologies.  The proposal seeks to bring together the world’s top greenhouse gas emitters and energy consumers.  In creating a new framework, the major emitters will work together to develop a long-term global goal to reduce greenhouse gasses.  Each country will work to achieve this emissions goal by establishing its own ambitious mid-term national targets and programs, based on national circumstances.  They will ensure advancement towards the global goal with a review process that assesses each country’s performances.

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Australia 10 December 2006, the Prime Minister announced the establishment of a joint government-business taskforce on emissions trading the Task Group has concluded:  Australia should not wait until a genuinely global agreement has been negotiated  Emissions trading scheme should form the principal mechanism to achieve emissions-reduction goals  A workable global emissions trading scheme is likely to evolve slowly through a patchwork of linked national and regional schemes.  Australia’s medium term emissions trajectory and its long- term aspirational goal must be set with great care while recognising the need for deeper emissions reductions over time.  a ‘safety valve’ emissions fee  mixture of free allocation and auctioning of single-year dated emissions permits

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE L’ENERGIE Conclusions It is not yet possible to discern a human influence on emissions reductions.  Policy effort is insufficient Fossil fuels will dominate the energy supply for the foreseeable future Technology development is being focused, but may not be adequate. Investors need an international cost effective framework soon if energy security and climate change objectives are to be met.
