World Energy Resources

• To catalyze the potential of renewable energy
  sources into production line power requires two
  basic physical ingredients
• The raw resource
• Infrastructure to export the resource as
  electricity

Conclusions

• No shortage of global energy resources
• R/P ratio for fossil fuels
• Oil 40 years
• Natural Gas 60 years
• Coal 200 years
• Uneven distribution of strategic resources around
  the world
• Consumption areas do not all coincide with
  production areas
• Environmental issues/rules will play a strategic
  role in sustainable development
• Substantial increase of non-hydro renewables, but
  total share only some 5 in 2030 (with wind and
  bioenergy the leading players)
