WORLD ENERGY INVESTMENT OUTLOOK Dr. Fatih Birol Chief Economist Head, Economic Analysis Division International Energy Agency / OECD
Global Strategic Challenges Security of energy supplies Threat of environmental damage caused by energy use Uneven access of the world s population to modern energy Investment in energy-supply infrastructure
Global Energy Investment Outlook
World Energy Investment 2001-2030 Total investment: 16 trillion dollars E&D 72% 46% Power generation Refining Other 13% 15% Oil 19% Electricity 60% 54% T&D E&D LNG Chain T&D and Storage 55% 8% 37% Gas 19% Coal 2% 88% 12% Mining Shipping and ports Production accounts for the majority of investment in the supply chain except for electricity
Energy Investment by Region 2001-2030 4,000 cumulative investment (billion dollars 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 20 15 10 5 share in global investment (%) 0 OECD North America China OECD Europe Other Asia Africa Russia Middle East OECD Pacific Other Latin America India Other transition economies Brazil 0 OECD Europe will account for around 15% of global energy investment needs of $16 trillion
Energy Investment Share in GDP 2001-2030 Russia Africa Other transition economies Middle East China India Other Asia Latin America OECD World average 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 per cent The share of energy investment in the economy is much higher in developing countries and the transition economies than in the OECD
Oil Investment Outlook
Oil Investment by Region Asia Latin America Africa Transition economies Middle East OECD 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 billion dollars per year Exploration & development Non-conventional oil Refineries Most investment outside the OECD will be needed in the Middle East and the transition economies mainly in the upstream
Access to Oil Reserves Concession 21% Iraq 10% National companies only (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Mexico) 35% Production sharing 12% Limited access - National companies 22% 1,032 billion barrels Access to much of the world s remaining oil reserves is restricted
Restricted Middle East Oil Investment Scenario OPEC Middle East Share in Global Oil Supply 50 40 per cent 30 20 10 0 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 Restricted Investment Scenario Reference Scenario OPEC Middle East s share of global oil production is assumed to remain flat at under 30% in Restricted Investment Scenario
Oil Concluding Remarks Global investment of $3 trillion needed in 2001-2030 Investment more sensitive to decline rate than rate of demand growth most investment needed just to maintain current production level Major uncertainties about opportunities and incentives to invest, notably Access to reserves and production policies OPEC (and Iraq) Oil prices Production costs and investment risks Lower investment in Middle East oil would raise global investment needs, lower OPEC revenues & harm global economy Enhanced consumer-producer dialogue to help facilitate capital flows
Gas Investment Outlook
Gas E&D Investment & Incremental Production 2001-2030 Africa 9% Othe 20% E&D Investment OECD 48% Other 32% Incremental Production OECD 10% Transition economies 18% Middle East 8% Transition economies 15% Africa 17% $ 1.7 trillion 2,767 bcm Middle East 23% OECD countries will account for almost half total upstream gas investment, but only 10% of additional production
Net Inter-regional Trade & Production bcm 5,400 4,800 4,200 3,600 3,000 2,400 1,800 1,200 600 0 2001 2010 2020 2030 Production LNG trade Pipeline trade A growing share of gas will be traded between regions, much of it in the form of LNG
Indicative LNG Unit Capital Cost 700 600 dollars per tonne of capacity 500 400 300 200 100 0 Mid-1990s 2002 2010 2030 Liquefaction Shipping Regasification The recent dramatic fall in LNG costs is expected to continue
Gas Investment Uncertainties Balance of risk and return price is key Complexity of financing very large-scale projects especially in developing countries Access to reserves and fiscal regime most new investment will be private Impact of market reforms on investment risk long-term contracts will remain necessary These factors could lead to shortfall in investment, supply bottlenecks and higher prices in some cases
Coal Investment Outlook
Coal Industry Investment 2001-2030 Mining by region OECD $128.1 Shipping $33.9 Ports $12.9 Mining $351.0 Total investment: $ 397.8 billion China $120.6 Transition economies $32.0 Other Developing countries $70.3 Almost all coal investment will be for mining a third of it in China alone
Electricity Investment Outlook

Electricity Investment Challenges in OECD $4 trillion needed (2001-2030) Blackouts have underscored reliability needs Under-investment in transmission in some countries Approvals remain a key barrier to investment Distributed generation will help Will save in transmission investment Already important in developing countries with unreliable central systems Competition is changing investment Timing, technology choice Heavier use of transmission issue of peak load

Universal Electricity Access Scenario
Investment to Ensure Universal Electricity Access 2,000 2001-2030 1,500 billion dollars 1,000 500 0 China South Asia Africa East Asia Latin America Reference Scenario Electrification Scenario Middle East More than $660 billion is needed to supply basic electricity services to the world s very poor mainly in Africa and South Asia
Additional Investment in Universal Electricity Access Scenario 2001-2030 300 250 billion dollars 200 150 100 50 0 Africa South Asia East Asia Latin America Middle East Grid extension Mini-grid Autonomous off-grid Most investment needed for grid extensions which will be more easily financed than mini-grid and off-grid options
Electricity Investment Challenges in Developing Countries Almost $6 trillion needed (2001-2030) far more than in past 3 decades Financing this will be challenging especially in Africa and India Realising this investment will call for More rigorous sector reforms notably more cost-reflective pricing and improved collection More stable and predictable investment regimes Better corporate governance Development of domestic financial markets Stronger incentives for private and foreign investors
Electricity Concluding Remarks Electricity sector will dominate energy investment Almost $10 billion needed in 3 decades to 2030 More than half electricity investment will go to transmission & distribution networks Biggest uncertainty in OECD countries concerns impact of market reforms on investment risks and returns especially for reserve and peak capacity Financing electricity investment in non-oecd countries is greatest challenge pricing reform is fundamental to attracting private capital
Energy Investment Challenge Total investment requirements are modest relative to world GDP, but challenge differs by region / fuel Energy and financial resources are sufficient, but increasing competition for capital and higher risk Capital needs are largest for electricity Half total energy investment is needed in developing countries where financing will be hardest Policymakers need to ensure basic principles of good governance are applied and respected including cost-reflective pricing Production accounts for the bulk of investment more than half just to replace old capacity
