SENSE OF URGENCY
Oil and gas companies are very aware of the limitations of
conventional oil and gas
Shell’s three hard truths
1. World-wide energy demand will increase strongly and double
between now and 2050
2. The supply of conventional oil and gas will not be able to keep
up at such a pace
3. More consumption of energy will result in a further increase of
CO2 emissions with unacceptable consequences
