Quote

ldquoIt is a huge challenge to increase energy supplies ndash and keep them secure ndash to meet the hopes of all people and to maintain the high living standards of people in the developed world It is a bigger challenge still to do all this while reducing energyrsquos impact on the environment including the climaterdquo

Rising demand

bull Doubled in last 3 decades

bull Increase 50 by 2030

bull Double or triple by 2050

bull Factors more people and more prosperity

Renewable sources

About the potential availability
