Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell
28th January 2008
"Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."
Climate Change Act Targets
• 1990 baseline of CO2 emissions was approximately 590 million tons of CO2.
• An 80% reduction is based on the minimum reductions necessary to avoid causing catastrophic and permanent changes to the climate
• 80% of 590m tons = 118 million tonnes.
• The UK level of CO2 emissions (1.76 tonnes/capita cf. ~10 tonnes today) hasn’t been that low since…… when?

The Great British (C. Chase??) Refurb
Ed Milliband recently
announced that by 2050 all
British homes will be near

time for Cannock Chase to
step forward & seek to be the
first locality in the UK to deliver
this in existing homes?
