Global Energy Demand Trends and Challenges: An American Perspective from 2009

This report discusses the global energy landscape as of 2009, highlighting significant trends projected until 2030. It notes that world energy demand is expected to expand by 45%, with coal playing a major role, accounting for over a third of the increase in global demand. Additionally, the rise in oil production, predominantly in non-OECD countries, particularly China, India, and the Middle East, is emphasized. The report also covers the United States-Chile Energy Partnership, which seeks to enhance renewable energy research and development, exemplifying international collaboration in sustainable energy initiatives.

  1. Global Energy: An American Perspective Ambassador Paul Simons Conferencia 2009 ElecGas May 26, 2009

  2. IEA REFERENCE SCENARIO – KING COAL • World energy demand expands by 45% between now and 2030 – an average rate of increase of 1.6% per year – with coal accounting for more than a third of the overall rise. • Demand for coal has been growing faster than any other energy source & is projected to account for more than a third of incremental global energy demand to 2030

  3. IEA – WORLD ENERGY GROWTH • OECD countries alone cannot put the world onto a 450-ppm trajectory, even if they were to reduce their emissions to ZERO • 97% of the projected increase in emissions between now & 2030 comes from non-OECD countries – three-quarters from China, India & the Middle East alone

  4. IEA – OIL MARKETS • Oil production rises to 104 mb/d in 2030, with Middle East OPEC taking the lion’s share of oil market growth as conventional non-OPEC production declines • 64 mb/d of gross capacity needs to be installed between 2007 & 2030 – six times the current capacity of Saudi Arabia – to meet demand growth & offset decline

  5. IEA – ROLE OF DEVELOPING ECONOMIES • All of the growth in oil demand comes from non-OECD, with China contributing 43%, the Middle East & India each about 20% & other emerging Asian economies most of the rest.

Growing under Obama Administration • ”Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas”, announced by President Obama in Trinidad on April 18, 2009. • Chile’s contributions: • Renewable Energy Research Center • Solar pilot projects: CSP and PV • Strong institutional contacts between Chile and • Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory • National Renewable Energy Laboratory • U.S. Department of Energy • California Energy Commission • Chile/California Partnership (6/08) underpins cooperation.
