Energy Needs Choices and Possibilities Scenarios to 2050
Energy Needs, Choices and Possibilities Scenarios to 2050 Peter Snowdon Senior Energy Consultant Royal Dutch/Shell Group © Shell International Ltd.
Introduction World faces fundamental energy challenge. Complex interplay between: -Social, political and market developments. -Scientific and technical advances. Energy companies vital role in delivering sustainable solutions – part of solution! Shell’s Long Term Energy Scenarios put forward two possibilities for energy mix over the next half century. © Shell International Ltd.
"Towards a European strategy for the security of energy supply" "EU's long-term strategy for energy supply security must be geared to ensuring, for the well being of its citizens and the proper functioning of the economy, the uninterrupted physical availability of energy products on the market, at a price which is affordable for all consumers, while respecting environmental concerns and looking towards sustainable development". © Shell International Ltd.
Shell’s Long Term Energy Scenarios What energy needs, choices and possibilities will shape a global energy system which halts the rise in human-induced carbon dioxide emissions within the next 50 years – leading to a stabilising of atmospheric carbon levels below 550 ppmv – without jeopardising economic development? © Shell International Ltd.
The first step These scenarios map a journey to 2050. The journey starts now. Decisions made today influence future. Scenarios inform on the future context. Scenarios inform today’s choices. © Shell International Ltd.
Challenging Assumptions with Scenarios - Alternative stories of future. - Not predictions/forecasts. - Credible stories ask “what if”, “how”. - Forces pushing along different paths? - Common language/framework/context. - Help managers plan for different futures: - Dynamics of business environment - Critical uncertainties - New possibilities - Strategic options - decisions © Shell International Ltd.
Scenarios and Business Strategy Focus of LTES Scenarios To 2050: “Explore” To 2020: “Grow” Emerging growth engines Short Term: “Execute” Future technology & business options; climate change implications Core Business © Shell International Ltd.

Long Term Energy Scenarios Dynamics as Usual Spirit of the Coming Age “Health and Security” “Convenient and Unobtrusive” Incumbent technologies respond. Revolutionary new technologies. Renewables promoted. Convergence around fuel cells. Gas favoured but security concerns. Abundant gas provides backbone Renewables ‘boom then bust’ until new generation and storage solutions emerge around 2025. Large scale Renewables pulled by H 2 demand post 2030. Towards a renewables dominant electricity and liquid fuels world Towards a fuel cell dominant hydrogen economy © Shell International Ltd.
Energy Scenarios – Key Points • Energy systems are dynamic – responding to changing conditions, choices and possibilities. • Rise in human-induced CO 2 emissions could be halted within the next 50 years – leading to stabilisation of atmospheric concentrations below 550 parts-per-million. • Gas will move to centre stage as the bridging fuel. • Renewable energy sources have the potential to meet long term energy needs. © Shell International Ltd.
