Global Natural Gas Dynamics: Striking a Balance Amid Change

Explore the evolution of natural gas from shale gas to renewable energy, balancing economics with geopolitics. Dive into regional markets and potential future surprises in the global natural gas landscape. Join us in Québec City, Québec from May 13-16, 2012, for an insightful discussion. Presented by Sergey Paltsev, Principal Research Scientist at MIT.

  1. STRIKING A BALANCE IN THE MIDST OF CHANGE May 13-16, 2012 Québec City, Québec (Canada) GLOBAL SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR NATURAL GASMay 15, 2012 Presented by: SERGEY PALTSEV Principal Research Scientist Massachusetts Institute of Technology

  2. MOTIVATION • Shale Gas • LNG and Global Market • Move from Coal to Gas • Move to Renewables • Economics vs Geopolitics

  3. MAJOR POINTS • Global natural gas use will grow from the current 110 Tcfto 160 Tcf in 2030, and 180-190 Tcf in 2050. • Gas markets are still regional (U.S., Europe, Asia) • Integrated gas markets lead to an even greater use and relatively lower prices.

  4. MAJOR POINTS (Cont.) • Watch for surprises • -U.K. gas • -U.S. gas • -Poland gas • -China gas • U.S. - $2-4, Europe - $8-10, Japan - $15: A case for long-termsubstantialU.S gas exports? • -Maybe not. • Shale gas in China might be a game changer • -But perhaps not in the next decade

  5. NATURAL GAS PRICES, BP (2011) Winter 2011-2012 Prices: US – (Sept - $4; March - $2), UK - $10 (NBP on Oct 3 – $6.50; Feb 7 - $15.50, end of March - $9.40), Germany - $11, Japan - $15-16.

  6. GLOBAL NATURAL GAS USE

  7. NATURAL GAS RESOURCES Source: MIT (2011) Global Consumption: 2000 - 100 Tcf 2050 – 160-190 Tcf Global Reserves: 6,600 Tcf (BP, 2010) Global Resources: World – 16,000 Tcf (plus shale gas in non-North America)

  10. NATURAL GAS IN ASIA Even more uncertainty Government support Use in residential sector (heating and cooking) and industry Source: MIT Joint Program Report 201 (2011)

  11. SHALE GAS RESOURCES Source: EIA (2011) No estimate for Russia or the Middle East Global Resources: 16,000 Tcf Additional Shale : 6,000 Tcf Global Resources: 22,000 Tcf Poland: IEA (2011) – 187 Tcf Poland Government (2012) - 12-28 Tcf; Might be up to 67 Tcf

  15. CHINA GAS – POTENTIAL FUTURES Shale gas availability changes gas prospects in China Consumption Production

  16. CHINA GAS – POTENTIAL FUTURES Imports By 2050 China might become natural gas exporter

  17. MAJOR POINTS • Global natural gas use will grow from the current 110 Tcfto 160 Tcf in 2030, and 180-190 Tcf in 2050. • Gas markets are still regional (U.S., Europe, Asia) • Integrated gas markets lead to an even greater use and relatively lower prices. • Watch for surprises • -U.K. gas; U.S. gas; Poland gas; China gas • U.S. - $2-4, Europe - $8-10, Japan - $15: A case for long-termsubstantial U.S gas exports? • -Maybe not. • Shale gas in China might be a game changer • -But perhaps not in the next decade
