strategic challenges in global energy –the contribution from the oil and gas business
DESCRIPTION
With changes to the global energy map and new technologies come opportunity and challenges. Challenges which include relentless energy demand growth, even in the face of widespread energy poverty, and meeting that demand reliably and affordably without threatening catastrophic climate change. This reality means that cooperation between industry and policy making will be extremely important in the coming decades.TRANSCRIPT

Today's share of fossil fuels in the global mix, at 82%, is the same as it was 25 years ago; the strong rise of renewables only reduces this to around 75% in 2035the strong rise of renewables only reduces this to around 75% in 2035
Very large upstream investments are needed even with low demand growth
