The world energy scene today
 Some long-held tenets of the energy sector are being rewritten

 Countries are switching roles: importers are becoming exporters…
 … and exporters are among the major sources of growing demand
 New supply options reshape ideas about distribution of resources
 But long-term solutions to global challenges remain scarce

 Renewed focus on energy efficiency, but CO2 emissions continue to rise
 Fossil-fuel subsidies increased to $544 billion in 2012
 1.3 billion people lack electricity, 2.6 billion lack clean cooking facilities
 Energy prices add to the pressure on policymakers

 Sustained period of high oil prices without parallel in market history
 Large, persistent regional price differences for gas & electricity

Orientation for a fast-changing energy world
 China, then India, drive the growing dominance of Asia in global

energy demand & trade
 Technology is opening up new oil resources, but the Middle East

remains central to the longer-term outlook
 Regional price gaps & concerns over competitiveness are here

to stay, but there are ways to react – with efficiency first in line
 The transition to a more efficient, low-carbon energy sector

is more difficult in tough economic times, but no less urgent
