5. Energy at the centre of everything we do…
“Energy refers to the power derived from the utilization of physical or
chemical resources”
Simply put…Without energy…nothing can be done
Energy is a source of competitive advantage
6. Energy at the centre of everything we do…
Energy…
…powers the economy – and every economic activity…
…how we move around…
…the design of our cities…
… ultimately the way we live
10. 5 Global Megatrends to watch for…
Demographic and social change
Within the next minute the global population will rise by
145. By 2030 global population will reach 8.7bn
Shift in economic power
On current trends, the aggregate purchasing power of
the ‘E7’ emerging economies – China, India, Russia,
Brazil, Mexico, Turkey and Indonesia – will overtake
that of the G7 by 2030.
Rapid urbanisation
In 1800, 2% of the world’s population lived in cities.
Now it’s 50%. Every week, some 1.5 million people join
the urban population, through a combination of
migration and childbirth.
Climate change and resource scarcity
At current rates of consumption we may
have just half a century’s worth of oil & gas
left. Yet to meet our development needs
we’re highly dependent on fossil fuels,
which drive carbon emissions.
Technological breakthroughs
The impacts of digital disruption are now so
pervasive that no business in any sector –
from the smallest family business to largest
multinational – is immune from them..
11. 5 Energy Megatrends to watch for…
Oil price
OPEC’s decision to keep supply constant has caused
the oil price to collapse – and has created a new
industry outlook.
Energy Demand is falling in Europe…
Based on 2013 data (Eurostat) energy demand in EU-
28 has fallen 9.1% vs 2006 (approaching 1990-1995
pattern).
..but is increasing in emerging countries
With China, India, Brazil exhibiting year-on-year
energy demand growth.
Gas (r)evolution
Shale gas technology (fracking) has
enabled the US to become energy efficient
and contemplate about exporting it –
forcing OPEC to retaliate.
The bigger game: efficiency
The biggest disruptive technology in energy
is to go without it.
RES are here to stay
Solar is bound to get cheaper due to
technology innovation and available
financing. Biomass and Wind will benefit as
well. They have already begun changing
the industry value chain.

Oil & Gas 2014…
The decline in oil prices over the
past several months and the
continued weakness in gas prices
have created a new structural
challenge for the upstream oil and
gas industry.
As in 1998, 2001 and 2009, we are
now in uncharted territory.
A world of lower oil-price planning
has become the common basis for
the coming 12 to 18 months.
1.Production costs, which grew by half for major
oil companies over the past five years;
2.Complexity, which rose as operators’ and
service companies’ production and development
businesses became more elaborate
3.Government policies, which have ranged from
new, regulatory burden to laissez-faire oversight
(as seen in the LNG sector in Australia and in
onshore production in the US).
…and 2015 problems

Oil & Gas trends
Oil markets: Struggling to find balance in 2015 – The strength of oil demand growth in
2015 is a major concern, and a weaker than expected economic outlook could exacerbate
the current market imbalance. If a non-OPEC supply response is not enough to rebalance the
market, then attention will fall on the Middle East, and OPEC’s next meeting, during the
summer months. Oil market rebalancing in 2015 is likely to deliver price volatility and a period
of uncertainty.
Corporate: A true buyers’ market could emerge in 2015 – Corporate valuations are now
heavily discounted, as investors digest a sub $70 per barrel oil. Companies are weighing up
options and distressed sales could precipitate the emergence of a buyers’ market in 2015.
Those with the financial strength to withstand weak prices will be well positioned for the next
cycle.
Macroeconomics: Asia’s consumers are key – China’s economy is evolving and the
nature of its energy demand growth is changing. A more rapid than expected shift to
consumption-led growth could slow energy demand. In 2015, the behavior of Asia’s
consumers will have material impacts on the global economy.

Oil & Gas trends
Coal: China’s shift to cleaner consumption – A twin-pronged approach to environmental
protection and support for domestic mining companies means a shift to cleaner coal
consumption and a reduction of seaborne imports.
Metals and mining: China’s Five-Year Plan indicates commitment to infrastructure
build – Metals and mining are highly exposed to China, which is the primary driver of
demand growth for many mined commodities
Natural gas: LNG suppliers hoping for cold – Slowing gas demand growth has led to
concerns that China will struggle to absorb contracted LNG, which will double over the next
three years. Suppliers will be hoping for a cold 2015, but the background of a low oil price
environment will place pressure on LNG prices. However long-term growth prospects remain
compelling, and Russia will continue to cement its pivot east with China gas deals.
Will Paris 2015 mark a turning point? – China and the US have agreed emission targets,
suggesting that efforts to reduce carbon-dioxide output may now come more easily than
expected. Europe is seeking to solve the problem of dependency on Russian natural gas
with greater energy efficiency and more renewables.

27. RES – Renewable Energy Sources
Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally
replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.
Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation, hot
water/space heating, motor fuels, and rural (off-grid) energy services.
The "20-20-20" targets, set three key objectives for 2020:
1.A 20% reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels;
2.Raising the share of EU energy consumption produced from
renewable resources to 20%;
3.A 20% improvement in the EU's energy efficiency

Climate Change affect on energy industry
As the climate of the world warms, the consumption of energy in climate-sensitive sectors is
likely to change. Possible effects include
1.decreases in the amount of energy consumed in residential, commercial, and industrial
buildings for space heating and increases for space cooling;
2.decreases in energy used directly in certain processes such as residential, commercial,
and industrial water heating, and increases in energy used for residential and commercial
refrigeration and industrial process cooling (e.g., in thermal power plants or steel mills);
3.increases in energy used to supply other resources for climate-sensitive processes, such
as pumping water for irrigated agriculture and municipal uses;
4.changes in the balance of energy use among delivery forms and fuel types, as between
electricity used for air conditioning and natural gas used for heating; and
5.changes in energy consumption in key climate-sensitive sectors of the economy, such as
transportation, construction, agriculture, and others.

49. Oil & Gas…2005
The production-maximizing business
model…aka “drill-baby-drill”
To prosper the oil industry would have to
adopt a new strategy. It would have to
look beyond the easy-to-reach sources that
had powered it in the past and make
massive investments in the extraction in
“unconventional oil” (tough oil) resources
located far offshore, in the threatening
environments of the far north, in politically
dangerous places like Iraq, or in unyielding
rock formations like shale.

almost US$443 billion, up by more than
69% from 2013 and well above the most-
recent peak in 2012.
However, the total number of oil and gas
transactions – the total deal volume –
continued to decline in 2014, dropping
more than 20% from 2013.

For 2015, the scope for a strengthening oil and gas M&A market, primarily will be
driven by the implications of and responses to the recent price collapse, as
companies:
1.Re-allocate capital to optimize their portfolio and focus on higher-returns
2.Remove underperforming and lower-yield businesses and assets (i.e., carve-outs
and divestments)
3.Pursue opportunistic acquisitions of challenged or under-valued businesses
4.Look to joint ventures to share capital and risk
5.Increase investments into growth markets
In short, particularly as the year goes on, there will be more motivated sellers and
more consensus on valuations.
Consolidation will be driven by over-capacity, intense margin pressures, and
generally weaker capital markets.

When we think about a value chain, we tend to
visualize a linear flow of physical activities.
But the value chain also includes all the
information that flows within a company and
between a company and its suppliers, its
distributors, and its existing or potential
customers.
The informational components of value are so
deeply embedded in the physical value chain
that, in some cases, we are just beginning to
acknowledge their separate existence.
When information is carried by things — by a
salesperson or by a piece of direct mail, for
example — it goes where the things go and no
further. It is constrained to follow the linear flow of
the physical value chain. But once everyone is
connected electronically, information can travel by
itself.

The changing economics of information
threaten to undermine established value
chains in many sectors of the economy,
requiring virtually every company to rethink
its strategy—not incrementally, but
fundamentally.
Bargaining power will shift as a result of
a radical reduction in the ability to
monopolize the control of information.
Market power often comes from
controlling a choke point in an
information channel and extracting tolls
from those dependent on the flow of
information through it.

owned by enabling end users with

information available (internet of
things).

Europe’s electricity providers face an existential threat
The traditional utility business model has evolved to deliver stable
and predictable returns to investors. This, in turn, has ensured
investment grade credit ratings could be maintained enabling the
companies to efficiently raise large amounts capital to finance
investment in new infrastructure projects.
However, this business model has significant drawbacks. It
demands that the organisation is managed to deliver steadily
increasing profits and this creates a difficult environment in which
to grow new businesses and develop new markets – particularly if
those new businesses cannibalise the core markets that generate
the cash.
It is not possible to optimally run an organisation which
comprises two businesses pointing in fundamentally opposite
directions.

Statoil’s big dilemma: should it continue to go for oil and
gas – or transform itself into an energy service provider?
The business idea for a restructured Statoil will no longer be to pump oil and gas, but
to supply society with energy services it needs and is asking for.
This would be a long-term sustainable business model which also allows for oil and
gas production…. The goal will be to deliver energy services people need, which
bring the world forward, and which are compatible with a two-degree target.
Financially, the upside will be that the road is much shorter from investment to cash
flow than in upstream oil and gas. Large solar power stations can be planned and
built in the space of a few months. Supplementary gas power plants also have fairly
short construction times. These are markets in growth. It will happen whether the oil
industry likes it or not.

Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy TRACE
TRACE is a decision-support tool designed to help cities quickly identify energy efficiency opportunities. It
assesses six sectors – transportation, public lighting, buildings, power and heat, waste, and water and
wastewater. TRACE includes an energy benchmarking module that compares a city with key performance
indicators of peer cities. A sector prioritization module ranks energy savings potential of various sectors of
a given city. From those, recommendations are generated for specific energy efficiency interventions.

The basic problem is that energy is treated as a commodity, which
means that suppliers sell it by volume – and of course they then want to
increase their sales. But energy should be regarded as a service – a
“process-in-infrastructure”.
By treating energy as a process, by selling it in the form of infrastructure,
it becomes in the interest of the supplier to save energy rather than to
maximize sales. This is where we should be taking our energy system. In
fact, this is already happening in many places.
The role of government in all this is not merely to develop appropriate
legislation or regulation. Governments can do even more as consumers
of energy. They are the biggest users of energy in the world after all.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published its Fifth Assessment in 2014, summarising the
work of thousands of scientists across the world. The message was, in the panel’s own words,
“unequivocal”. Concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are now higher than they
have been for nearly a million years, long before human society began. The burning of fossil fuels is the
main reason behind this increase. Without strong action, temperatures are very likely to exceed the 2oC
target that governments have committed to. This will result in serious consequences including sea level
rises, heatwaves, loss of snow and ice cover, disruptions to agriculture and food production, and greater
extremes of drought and rainfall.
In December 2015, countries will meet in Paris to sign a global agreement on climate change. But what
should be in it?
The 2015 agreement will be different from those that came before. In the early years of climate
negotiations, the focus was on setting ‘top-down’ targets, which drove national action. Today, the emphasis
has shifted. Individual countries are being asked to come forward with their own ambitions and plans for
carbon reduction. Agreement at the global level is needed to ensure that countries’ pledged contributions
add up to sufficient global action, providing financial support for adaptation and the low carbon transition,
while ensuring transparency to enhance co-operation.
