  1. THE WORLD ENERGY COUNCIL

  2. CITY UNIVERSITY PRESENTATION 3 October 2005 Emily Melton, World Energy Council

  3. Foremost global multi-energy, industry-based organisation Covers all types of energy: coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, renewables UN-accredited NGO Impartial and objective, respected throughout the energy industry

  4. Established in 1923 First World Power Conference in 1924 Incorporated UK company Registered UK charity Headquartered in London

  5. Partners with • 45+ organisations • UN, World Economic Forum • World Bank • Asian, African Development Banks • IEA • OPEC, OAPEC, OLADE • Eurelectric • UPDEA • World LP Gas Association, WPC, IGU

  6. MISSION “To promote the sustainable supply and use of energy for the greatest benefit of all people” GOALS The 3 A’s Accessibility, availability, acceptability KEY MESSAGE Keep all energy options open

  7. WHO ARE WEC’S MEMBERS? 95 autonomous Member Committees Industrialised, transitional, developing countries 92% of energy-producing, consuming countries Committees represent country’s energy interests

  8. WEC’S CONSTITUENT MEMBERS • All energy sectors • Upstream, mid-stream, downstream • Producers, providers • Suppliers, distributors, retailers, end-users • Power plant managers • Energy ministers, government agencies • Decision-makers, policy-makers • Investors • Regulators • Researchers, academic institutions

  9. WHAT DOES WEC DO? Authoritative reports Research and analysis Case studies Medium and long-term energy projections Benchmarking and standards

  10. Conferences and meetings Technical programmes Workshops Regional forums Networking sessions

  11. THREE-YEAR WORK CYCLES “Top down” -- topical, current global studies “Bottom up” -- regional projects and studies Technical reports on ongoing energy issues Global Energy Information System website

  12. 2005-2007 WORK CYCLE Global Studies “Scenarios to 2050 “ “Climate Change” “Survey of Energy Resources”

  13. 2005-2007 WORK CYCLE Technical Programmes Performance of Generating Plant Energy Efficiency Financing Renewables Cleaner Fossil Fuels Large Grid Reliability

  14. 2005-2007 WORK CYCLE Regional Studies Energy integration (Africa) Urban energy poverty, regional integration (LAC) Energy security, role of nuclear, energy cooperation, grid reliability (Europe) Energy trade, diversification, efficiency (North America) Renewables financing, energy resources (Asia)

  15. WORLD ENERGY CONGRESS World's premier multi-energy event 5,000 delegates Keynote addresses by top level political, business leaders Roundtables on major energy themes and issues Technical paper presentations by energy experts Major exhibition Networking sessions

  16. FUTURE WORLD ENERGY CONGRESSES 20th World Energy Congress (2007) Rome, Italy 21st World Energy Congress (2010) Montreal, Canada

  17. SURVEY OF ENERGY RESOURCES WEC’s flagship publication since 1934 Triennial Unique reserves data on coal, oil, natural gas, uranium and nuclear, renewables, peat, oil shale, tidal, OTEC, natural bitumen and extra-heavy oil, wave and wood Expert commentary Data tables and graphs Country information

  18. SER MAIN CONCLUSIONS Global reserves of main fossil fuels are enough for the foreseeable future Renewable energy will grow quickly but will not increase much in share of global energy mix

  19. Final Energy Supply by Source • Oil 43% • Natural Gas 17% • Electricity 15% • Coal 13% • Other 12%

  20. Outlook 55% increase in global energy demand between 2000 and 2020 1998 2020 2100 Dev. Countries 35% 50% 70% US$20 trillion (3-4% of world GDP) required for energy investment

  21. Oil No. 1 energy source Geopolitical priority 64% in the Middle East (20% in Saudi Arabia) 2% growth in consumption p.a. R/P Ratio - 42 years

  22. Crude OilReserves

  23. Coal Abundant but “dirty” (Clean coal technologies) Total recoverable reserves: 910 billion tonnes - more than 200 years 72 countries (USA, Russia, China, Australia, India and Germany hold over 75%) 27% of global primary energy demand, 40% of electricity

  24. Proven Global Coal Reserves

  25. Natural Gas • High conversion efficiency • Environmentally benign • Geopolitical concerns • Europe - 40%, Middle East - 35% • R/P Ratio - 70 years

  26. Proven Reserves of Natural Gas

  27. Uranium and Nuclear • 16-17% of world’s electricity • Huge uranium reserves • 440 plants in 31 countries (end 2003) • Most current expansion in Asia • Poor public acceptance • High capital costs • Spent fuel, decommissioning

  28. Renewables

  29. Hydropower The best source of renewable energy Used in more than 150 countries 17% of world’s electricity Carbon-free Capital intensive Huge potential – only 33% developed

  30. Wood • 5% of global primary energy supply • Wide variations between regions • Asia = 42% • Africa = 27% • Central & North America = 14% • Latin America = 10% • Europe = 6% • Important for developing and rural economies

  31. Bioenergy • Potentially the world’s largest and most sustainable fuel resource • Finland & Sweden = 15-20% primary energy • Emerging technologies • High operating cost

  32. Solar Energy • Important energy source • Widely distributed • Relatively low conversion efficiency • Suitable for small-scale domestic use • Cultural/political challenges • High production costs

  33. Current Use of Solar

  34. Wind One of the fastest growing energy technologies Widely available but centred in Europe Economically competitive in remote areas Improving technological solutions Growing generating capacity

  35. Other Renewables Peat Geothermal Energy Tidal Energy Wave Energy Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
