Global Trends in Transport Fuels and the implications for Australian policy Russell Caplan Chairman, Shell Companies in Australia Bureau for Transport and Regional Economics Colloquium Canberra, 15 June 2006
Global trends • Continuing use of conventional fuels • Cleaner transport fuels • Fuel and engine efficiency • Price pressures • Refinery location & capacity • Self-sufficiency vs economic growth
World energy demand 1971-2030 other renewables billion tonnes oil equivalent hydro nuclear biomass & waste coal gas oil IEA 2004 (reference case)
Demand for Oil to 2030 From Akmal and Riwoe (2005), per AIP submission to the Inquiry into Future Oil Supply and Alternative Transport Fuels (2006)

Global trends • Continuing use of conventional fuels • Cleaner transport fuels • Fuel and engine efficiency • Smaller cars, hybrids • More diesel • More efficient engine technology • Driver education • Price pressures • Refinery location & capacity • Self-sufficiency vs economic growth
Global trends • Continuing use of conventional fuels • Cleaner transport fuels • Fuel and engine efficiency • Price pressures • Demand side factors • Supply side factors • Refinery location & capacity • Self-sufficiency vs economic growth
Global trends • Continuing use of conventional fuels • Cleaner transport fuels • Fuel and engine efficiency • Price pressures • Refinery location & capacity • Construction of mega-refineries • Located in Asia or Middle East • Rising finished product imports into Australia • Self-sufficiency vs economic growth

Determining a vision for transport fuels in 2050 • Should we have a long term transport energy vision? • What fuels are present in the vision? • Where do our fuels come from? • What is the interplay between transport fuels and generation fuels? • What environmental footprint will the fuels of the future have? • What do we need to do today to set ourselves up to achieve the vision?
