Shell Energy Scenarios to 2050: "Scramble and Blueprints"
In 2008 Shell will present its new Energy Scenarios to 2050, Scramble and Blueprints. These scenarios are built on predetermined factors of three hard truths about energy:
- There is step change in demand for energy driven by growing population and increasing prosperity
- Easy oil and gas will not be able to match this pace of growth. In fact all energy sources together will struggle to match demand, which will have to be met partly by new energy efficiency technology. The world is going to need all the energy it can get.
- Environmental stresses, both local pollution and climate change are increasing.
They will explore two plausible and possible futures of the world energy system as it reacts to these truths and evolves under the influence of regulatory and technological change.
More information will be made available here in April 2008.
