Points to Note World consumption of all energy sources rose steadily since 1991, with one brief dip following the world financial crisis in 2008. Oil, coal and natural are the largest sources of energy (in that order); together, they account for almost 90% of the world’s energy needs. Renewable energy (biomass, wind, solar and geothermal) accounts for about 2%.

Points to Note The consumption of energy sources varies considerably by region. The Middle East relies almost entirely on oil and natural gas Asia Pacific – coal provides half Europe and North America – mostly fossil fuels, but also others South America – hydroelectricity more prominent.

Points to Note Energy shares have changed considerably since 1966; � Oil declined from near 50% to 33% � Coal declined from 36% to 28% � Natural gas rose from 17% to 24% � Hydro stayed relatively stable (8%) � Nuclear energy rose and then fell � Renewables rose from nothing to 2%.

Points to Note Despite “peak oil” claims, world proved oil reserves have increased steadily

Points to Note Despite “peak oil” claims, world proved oil reserves have increased steadily for over 40 years. They rose from 1. 1 trillion to 1. 7 trillion barrels from 1996 to 2016. The Middle East’s share is 47% and declining. North and South America now account for one third of world reserves. Non-Middle East reserves today are larger than Middle East reserves were 20 years ago.

Points to Note The Middle East accounts for the largest share of global oil

Points to Note The Middle East accounts for the largest share of global oil production. The Asia-Pacific region accounts for the largest share of global oil consumption. The Asia-Pacific region, not Europe or North America, is most vulnerable to Middle Eastern oil supply disruptions.

Points to Note This graph shows world oil production, consumption and stock levels since

Points to Note This graph shows world oil production, consumption and stock levels since 2012, with EIA projections to the end of 2018. Consumption grew from 90 million barrels per day (mmb/d) at the beginning of 2012 to 98 mmb/d in late 2017 and is projected to reach 101 mmb/d by the end of 2018. That is an average rate of growth of 1. 57 mmb/d per year over seven years. Production has more than kept up.

Points to Note Natural gas proven reserves have increased over 50% in the last 20 years, from 123. 5 trillion cubic metres to 186. 6 trillion cubic metres. The Middle East has the largest share of world reserves at 42. 5%. The shares held by other regions have not changed much over the past 20 years. North America accounts for only 4. 1% of global gas reserves.

Points to Note The regional pattern of natural gas production and consumption differs considerably

Points to Note The regional pattern of natural gas production and consumption differs considerably from the regional distribution of reserves. North America and Europe/Eurasia account for about 57% of both gas production and consumption. The differences in regional production and consumption levels (see the “Rest of World”) indicate why LNG trade is growing.

Points to Note Despite immense global coal resources, proved coal reserves have declined about

Points to Note Despite immense global coal resources, proved coal reserves have declined about 9% over the past 20 years. The Asia-Pacific region has the largest coal reserves; coal is the most secure energy source there. The regional distribution of coal reserves in the world has not changed significantly over the period.

Points to Note The Asia-Pacific region dominates both coal production and consumption. Coal production

Points to Note The Asia-Pacific region dominates both coal production and consumption. Coal production and consumption in other regions have declined continuously since 1991. Global consumption grew sharply from 2000 to 2013. Although consumption has declined since 2013, it remains about 1 billion tonnes of oil equivalent above 2000 levels.

The Future The following slides indicate the projections of the U. S. Energy Information

The Future The following slides indicate the projections of the U. S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the most likely (i. e. reference case) trends in energy supply, demand emissions over the period from now to 2040, and some indicative figures for 2050. The data and graphs are from the EIA International Energy Outlook 2017.

Points to Note World primary energy consumption is projected to grow at slower rates

Points to Note World primary energy consumption is projected to grow at slower rates than in the past but to exceed 700 quadrillion Btu by 2040. Consumption in the OECD will barely rise: over 90% of the growth will occur in the non-OECD countries and mainly in Asia.

Points to Note Petroleum and liquid fuels consumption is projected to grow by 18%

Points to Note Petroleum and liquid fuels consumption is projected to grow by 18% between 2015 and 2040, with all of the growth occurring in the non-OECD area. Consumption is projected to rise to 116 million barrels per day, which sounds like an underestimate, given that consumption will probably exceed 101 million barrels per day at the end of 2018.

Points to Note This graph shows past and projected trends in world energy consumption

Points to Note This graph shows past and projected trends in world energy consumption by energy source. Petroleum and other liquid fuels retain the largest share of the world total until 2040 and beyond. Natural gas’s share rises quickly, surpassing coal by 2030, but coal remains firmly in third place throughout the period. Renewables including hydroelectricity grow to 125 quadrillion Btus by 2040, while nuclear energy barely grows.

Points to Note Natural gas consumption rises by 43% from 2015 to 2040. While consumption grows in all areas, in the non-OECD countries it rises from 40 trillion cubic feet (TCF) per year in 1990 to over 105 TCF by 2040.

Points to Note By 2040, oil and natural gas-based fuels will still supply about

Points to Note By 2040, oil and natural gas-based fuels will still supply about 90% of the world transportation sector’s energy needs. The fastest growing transportation energy sources over that period will be natural gas and jet fuel. It is projected that electricity will constitute only about 2 per cent of global transportation energy demand by 2040.

Points to Note Carbon Dioxide emissions from fuel combustion are projected to rise from

Points to Note Carbon Dioxide emissions from fuel combustion are projected to rise from about 34 gigatonnes (Gt) in 2015 to 39 Gt in 2040, not decline. Virtually all of the growth will occur in the non. OECD countries. In 2050, the projected OECD emissions of 13 Gt could disappear and the world still would not come close to meeting the IPCC’s preferred global emission target of 14 Gt.

Conclusion Past, present and future trends in the consumption of fossil fuels are entirely

Conclusion Past, present and future trends in the consumption of fossil fuels are entirely different from the claims of those who think the world is embarked on a massive transformation of the energy system towards renewables. In a world in which significantly increasing carbon dioxide emissions is virtually inevitable, what justification is there for massive economy -destroying reductions in Canada?
