INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE LENERGIE Looking back INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE LENERGIE

Energy Demand and Savings since 1973 IEA -11 Without energy savings achieved since 1973 energy demand in 1998 would have been 50% higher OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges Hypothetical energy use, without savings

IEA-11 Energy Use Impact of Energy Savings OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges 0,0% 0,5% 1,0% 1,5% 2,0% 2,5% 3,0% Average Annual % Growth Hypothetical Energy Use without Energy Savings

IEA-11 Energy Use Impact of Energy Savings 0,0% 0,5% 1,0% 1,5% 2,0% 2,5% 3,0% Average Annual % Growth Energy Savings Actual Energy Use Hypothetical Energy Use without Energy Savings Rates of energy savings have slowed significantly after 1990, leading to rapid demand growth OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges

IEA CO 2 Emissions Recent trends show steady increase OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges

IEA CO 2 Emissions per GDP Rate of decline has slowed since 1990 OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges

IEA-11 CO 2 Emissions Impact of Fuel Mix & Energy Savings OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges

IEA-11 CO 2 Emissions Impact of Fuel Mix & Energy Savings OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges 0,0% 0,5% 1,0% 1,5% 2,0% 2,5% 3,0% Average Annual % Growth Less carbon in fuel mix Hypothetical CO2 Constant Fuel Mix and Efficiency

IEA-11 CO 2 Emissions Impact of Fuel Mix & Energy Savings Slowing energy savings rates primary reason for accelerated growth in emissions after 1990 OF ENERGY USE IN IEA COUNTRIES Oil Crises & Climate Challenges 0,0% 0,5% 1,0% 1,5% 2,0% 2,5% 3,0% Average Annual % Growth Less carbon in fuel mix Energy Savings Actual Emissions Hypothetical CO2 Constant Fuel Mix and Efficiency

Rapid Growth in CO 2 Emissions Expected Ahead CO 2 emissions will increase fastest in developing countries, overtaking OECD in the 2020s Source: WEO 2004

Global CO2 Emissions in the Reference & Alternative Scenarios CO 2 emissions are 16% less in the Alternative scenario in 2030, a reduction of about 6 Gt of CO 2 Source: WEO 2004

Contributory Factors in CO 2 Emission Reduction, Improvements in end-use efficiency contribute for more than half of decrease in emissions, and renewables use for 20% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 49% 10% 8% 12% 21% OECD 63% 1% 21% 15% Transition economies 67% 7% 17% 4% 5% Developing countries 58% World End-use efficiency gains 7% Fuel switching in end uses 5% Changes in the fossil-fuel mix in power generation 10% Increased nuclear in power generation 20% Increased renewables in power generation

Example of IEA Technology Analysis : Role of CO 2 Capture and Storage (CCS) $50/tCO 2 : 2050 emissions would be 25% higher in absence of CCS + 25% PROSPECTS FOR CO 2 CAPTURE AND STORAGE

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE LENERGIE Long-term Technology Opportunities No silver bullet, but some features are clear: Accelerating energy efficiency improvements can make a difference in the short and long term CCS is a crucial technology in the medium term Renewables can steadily make an increasing impact and is key for the long-term sustainability Need to pursue a portfolio approach in developing policies for technology deployment and R&D INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY AGENCE INTERNATIONALE DE LENERGIE
