The document summarizes key findings from the World Energy Outlook 2010 report. It finds that while recently announced policies would make a difference, more ambitious action is needed to achieve sustainable energy goals. The report also finds that lack of ambition in Copenhagen accords has increased the cost of limiting global temperature rise to 2°C. Additionally, it notes that the age of cheap oil is over but policy can lower prices, renewables are growing but need long-term support, and phasing out fossil fuel subsidies is the most effective way to cut energy demand.

The role of CCS in mitigation scenarios - Ellina Levina, IEA Global CCS Institute
This is a presentation delivered by Ellina Levina of the International Energy Agency (IEA) at the Institute’s COP 17 side event, held on November 30. The presentation reviews the IEA’s work on CCS, including its scenarios that project CCS as delivering 19 per cent of required global emission cuts by 2050. The presentation also reviews current challenges to CCS and to global emissions reduction efforts.
The annual Energy Outlook reflects our best effort to describe a “most likely” trajectory of the global energy system, based on our views of likely economic and population growth, as well as developments in policy and technology
This 2015 edition updates our view of the likely path of global energy markets to 2035. We make assumptions on changes in policy, technology and the economy, based on extensive internal and external consultations, using a range of analytical tools to build a single “most likely” view.
The Outlook highlights the continuous change in the energy system – the changing fuel mix, the changing patterns of trade – as it adapts to meet the world’s growing energy needs. It also highlights the challenge of delivering energy supplies which are sustainable, secure and affordable. The Outlook emphasizes the role of competition and market forces in driving technology and innovation to help us meet that challenge.
Session by Paul Simons, Deputy Executive Director, International Energy Agency, 4 February 2016
Signs of change in global energy have multiplied in the 12 months. Oil prices fell sharply, with the prices of other fuels moving in tandem in many parts of the world. Amid turmoil in parts of the Middle East, a clear pathway opened up for the return of Iran, one of the world’s largest hydrocarbon resource-holders, to oil markets. China’s role in driving global trends continues to change as it enters a much less energy-intensive phase in its development. Renewables contributed almost half of the world’s new power generation while the coverage of mandatory energy efficiency regulation expanded to more than a quarter of global consumption. And the Paris Agreement reached at COP21 has provided a catalyst to accelerate investments in cleaner technologies and energy efficiency. The session addressed these and other developments, the associated risks and opportunities that might lie ahead – and what can be done to put the energy system on a more secure and sustainable footing.
A new global energy landscape is emerging, resetting long-held expectations for our energy future. Bringing together the latest data and policy developments, the World Energy Outlook 2013 presents up to date, projections of energy trends through to 2035, fuel by fuel, sector by sector, region by region and scenario by scenario. Oil is analysed in-depth: resources, production, demand, refining and international trade. Energy efficiency is treated in much the same way as conventional fuels: Its prospects and contribution are presented in a dedicated chapter. The report examines the outlook for Brazil's energy sector and provides updates on three key areas of critical importance to energy and climate trends: (i) achieving universal energy access; (ii) developments in subsidies to fossil fuels and renewables; and (iii) the impact of energy use on climate change. Oil supply, demand and trade: a fresh look at the economics and decline rates of different types of oil production around the world, the prospects for light tight oil inside and outside North America, along with new analysis of oil products and the refining sector. By Fatih Birol, Chief Economist, International Energy Agency
The world is moving towards a crucial climate change meeting in Paris in December 2015 (COP21). The negotiations there will be based on national pledges, formally known as Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, with the goal of setting the world on a sustainable path. As energy production and use is responsible for two-thirds of greenhouse-gas emissions, the IEA feels an obligation to make a contribution to COP21 – a contribution which reconciles climate and energy needs.
Annual report issued by the International Energy Agency. This newest report examines the critical role of price for crude oil in "rebalancing" supply and demand. The authors note the process of rebalancing (getting to higher prices) is rarely a smooth adjustment. Indeed! In the central scenario of this year's report, a tightening oil balance leads to a price around $80 per barrel by 2020--just five short years away.
Large differences in regional energy prices are set to affect industrial competitiveness, influencing investment decisions and company strategies. The extraordinary rise of light tight oil in the United States will play a major role in meeting global demand growth over the next decade, but the Middle East – the only large source of low-cost oil – will remain at the centre of the longer-term oil outlook. India is set to overtake China in the 2020s as the principal source of growth in global energy demand. These are just some of the key findings from the IEA in the latest edition of its World Energy Outlook.
Does growth in North American oil supply herald a new era of abundance - or does turmoil in parts of the Middle East cloud the horizon? How much can energy efficiency close the competitiveness gap caused by differences in regional energy prices? What considerations should shape decision-making in countries using, pursuing or phasing out nuclear power? How close is the world to using up the available carbon budget, which cannot be exceeded if global warming is to be contained? How can sub-Saharan Africa's energy sector help to unlock a better life for its citizens?

Questions about the reliability, affordability and sustainability of our energy future often boil down to questions about investment. But are investors ready to commit capital in a fast-changing energy world? This special report in the World Energy Outlook series takes up this question in a full and comprehensive update of the energy investment picture to 2035 -- a first full update since the 2003 World Energy Investment Outlook.
The global energy system is in danger of falling short of the hopes and expectations placed upon it. Turmoil in parts of the Middle East has rarely been greater since the oil shocks in the 1970; conflict between Russia and Ukraine has reignited concerns about gas security; nuclear power, which for some countries plays a strategic role in energy security, faces an uncertain future; and electricity remains inaccessible to many people, including two out of every three people in sub-Saharan Africa. The point of departure for the climate negotiations, due to reach a climax in 2015, is not encouraging: a continued rise in global greenhouse-gas emissions and stifling air pollution in many of the world’s fast-growing cities. Advances in technology and efficiency give some reasons for optimism, but sustained political efforts will be essential to change energy trends for the better. The World Energy Outlook 2014, with projections and analysis extended to 2040 for the first time, provides insights that can help to ensure that the energy system is changed by design, rather than just by events.
The BP Energy Outlook 2035 is our 2014 projection for the world's energy future.
This year's outlook reveals that global energy demand continues to grow but that growth is slowing and will mainly be driven by emerging economies - led by China and India.
Shares of the major fossil fuels are converging, with oil, natural gas and coal each expected to make up around 27 per cent of the total mix by 2035 and the remaining share coming from nuclear, hydroelectricity and renewables.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
