morning everybody thanks for waiting a
00:00:03.409 00:00:03.419 few extra minutes we were running late
00:00:06.200 00:00:06.210 and it's raining here in Washington so
00:00:08.390 00:00:08.400 obviously can't do anything right on
00:00:10.790 00:00:10.800 time
00:00:11.270 00:00:11.280 excuse me I'm Sarah Ladislaw a senior
00:00:13.459 00:00:13.469 vice president and director of the
00:00:14.660 00:00:14.670 energy and national security program
00:00:16.160 00:00:16.170 here at CSIS and we are delighted to
00:00:19.040 00:00:19.050 have Dave Turk back I was just noticing
00:00:22.010 00:00:22.020 that dave is now head of the strategic
00:00:25.340 00:00:25.350 initiatives office at IEA so maybe he'll
00:00:27.290 00:00:27.300 tell us a little bit about that because
00:00:28.550 00:00:28.560 I actually didn't know that till I saw
00:00:30.800 00:00:30.810 it on his slides and it's a new title
00:00:34.040 00:00:34.050 for him he had leased two hats last time
00:00:37.340 00:00:37.350 he was here presenting so I think he's
00:00:39.530 00:00:39.540 running a bunch of really important
00:00:41.450 00:00:41.460 things at the IAEA so Dave is not a
00:00:44.479 00:00:44.489 stranger to many of you in the audience
00:00:45.979 00:00:45.989 I can see some friends who've worked
00:00:48.110 00:00:48.120 with him in the past had some really
00:00:50.660 00:00:50.670 important roles in the White House at
00:00:52.910 00:00:52.920 do-e on the hill doing energy
00:00:55.250 00:00:55.260 policymaking over the last number of
00:00:57.410 00:00:57.420 years and has left us to be in Paris for
00:00:59.750 00:00:59.760 a while helping out Fadi and the IAEA
00:01:01.910 00:01:01.920 team he's going to talk today about the
00:01:05.000 00:01:05.010 future of petrochemicals I was really
00:01:06.830 00:01:06.840 pleased to see the IAEA send around via
00:01:12.260 00:01:12.270 Twitter that really great clip from the
00:01:15.320 00:01:15.330 Graduate where Dustin Hoffman is assured
00:01:18.080 00:01:18.090 that the futures in plastics
00:01:19.789 00:01:19.799 well dave is going to tell us whether or
00:01:22.490 00:01:22.500 not the future is in fact in
00:01:23.660 00:01:23.670 petrochemicals this morning so without
00:01:25.820 00:01:25.830 further ado we'll let Dave take the
00:01:27.560 00:01:27.570 stage and then have a bit of a
00:01:29.060 00:01:29.070 discussion so welcome
00:01:33.800 00:01:33.810 [Applause]
00:01:38.700 00:01:38.710 well first of all let me say thanks to
00:01:40.930 00:01:40.940 Sara and Ian and the full CIS CSIS team
00:01:44.200 00:01:44.210 for having me here today and for such a
00:01:47.530 00:01:47.540 terrific relationship we have between
00:01:48.940 00:01:48.950 the IAEA and CSIS for for many many
00:01:51.940 00:01:51.950 years it's certainly something that
00:01:53.200 00:01:53.210 Fatih Birol
00:01:54.040 00:01:54.050 my executive director and the rest of us
00:01:56.110 00:01:56.120 at IEA very much very much very much
00:01:59.050 00:01:59.060 appreciate so what I'm going to do with
00:02:01.150 00:02:01.160 the presentation today is really break
00:02:03.340 00:02:03.350 it down into three parts first looking
00:02:06.400 00:02:06.410 at petrochemicals recent trends what are
00:02:09.520 00:02:09.530 they what are the numbers today just to
00:02:12.250 00:02:12.260 give a snapshot now for some of you this
00:02:14.950 00:02:14.960 may be a bit rudimentary some people are
00:02:17.170 00:02:17.180 obviously experts in this area but what
00:02:19.660 00:02:19.670 we found is there's a lack of
00:02:21.160 00:02:21.170 appreciation of petrochemicals in part
00:02:23.290 00:02:23.300 because of their complexity from a lot
00:02:25.300 00:02:25.310 of otherwise quite smart people in the
00:02:27.460 00:02:27.470 energy space and so we'll spend a little
00:02:29.320 00:02:29.330 bit of time just breaking down what they
00:02:31.420 00:02:31.430 are worth what the numbers are secondly
00:02:34.270 00:02:34.280 we'll look at a scenario we call our
00:02:36.700 00:02:36.710 reference technology scenario which is
00:02:38.380 00:02:38.390 really where petrochemicals going into
00:02:40.210 00:02:40.220 the future
00:02:40.840 00:02:40.850 just under current trends current
00:02:42.460 00:02:42.470 assumptions etc some i opening numbers
00:02:46.270 00:02:46.280 in there we think but some also some
00:02:49.420 00:02:49.430 interesting analysis geographically
00:02:51.370 00:02:51.380 speaking etc and then the third piece is
00:02:53.890 00:02:53.900 looking at some numbers of a different
00:02:55.990 00:02:56.000 scenario what we call our clean
00:02:57.490 00:02:57.500 technology scenario which is trying to
00:03:00.010 00:03:00.020 figure out well what could we do more of
00:03:02.560 00:03:02.570 from policy making side of things from a
00:03:05.140 00:03:05.150 market design side of things to get the
00:03:07.360 00:03:07.370 full advantage from petrochemicals
00:03:08.979 00:03:08.989 plastics fertilizers but also to reduce
00:03:10.960 00:03:10.970 the environmental toll the
00:03:12.790 00:03:12.800 sustainability told that a lot of these
00:03:14.440 00:03:14.450 chemicals are having and will have into
00:03:17.320 00:03:17.330 the future but before doing that let me
00:03:19.420 00:03:19.430 just give you a couple slides on the IEA
00:03:22.449 00:03:22.459 itself now hopefully some of you and I
00:03:25.270 00:03:25.280 know some of you are very familiar with
00:03:26.560 00:03:26.570 the IEA some of you may be a little less
00:03:28.690 00:03:28.700 familiar just to things real quick here
00:03:31.000 00:03:31.010 first is the IEA is really changing into
00:03:33.580 00:03:33.590 especially over the last couple of years
00:03:35.320 00:03:35.330 under Fatih Birol to be a real global
00:03:37.780 00:03:37.790 agency a global family so you see here
00:03:40.960 00:03:40.970 our member countries these are our
00:03:42.520 00:03:42.530 member countries many of whom than
00:03:43.990 00:03:44.000 original member countries for 40-plus
00:03:45.760 00:03:45.770 years but we also have our our
00:03:48.220 00:03:48.230 association countries
00:03:49.510 00:03:49.520 these are our partners around the world
00:03:51.580 00:03:51.590 big emerging economies in particular you
00:03:54.280 00:03:54.290 see China you see India Brazil Indonesia
00:03:56.850 00:03:56.860 these are now part of the IEA family and
00:03:59.920 00:03:59.930 very much strengthening our relationship
00:04:02.080 00:04:02.090 with these countries as well and then
00:04:04.540 00:04:04.550 when you look at our global data
00:04:05.650 00:04:05.660 coverage some of our technology work it
00:04:07.570 00:04:07.580 literally spans just about every country
00:04:09.580 00:04:09.590 of the world so we call this now the IEA
00:04:12.490 00:04:12.500 global family
00:04:13.920 00:04:13.930 second thing is we are in all of energy
00:04:16.720 00:04:16.730 all of technologies agency including and
00:04:19.570 00:04:19.580 increasingly in the clean energy
00:04:21.250 00:04:21.260 transition space so really trying to
00:04:23.650 00:04:23.660 help countries help companies think
00:04:25.780 00:04:25.790 through their own transitions where do
00:04:27.340 00:04:27.350 they want to go into the future and how
00:04:29.320 00:04:29.330 can i EA data analysis and solutions
00:04:32.050 00:04:32.060 real world solution opportunities help
00:04:34.890 00:04:34.900 so that's just the IEA plug on the front
00:04:37.810 00:04:37.820 end this future of petrochemicals report
00:04:42.010 00:04:42.020 fits into a broader series this is the
00:04:46.270 00:04:46.280 third in a series so far we'll have more
00:04:48.190 00:04:48.200 of these that we call exploring key
00:04:50.650 00:04:50.660 blind spots that is those areas in
00:04:53.530 00:04:53.540 global energy that from our perspective
00:04:55.600 00:04:55.610 are frankly not getting as much
00:04:58.090 00:04:58.100 attention as they should be given
00:04:59.830 00:04:59.840 getting given their their importance in
00:05:02.890 00:05:02.900 the energy space now and especially
00:05:04.540 00:05:04.550 looking forward into the future so you
00:05:06.460 00:05:06.470 see the three covers there the future of
00:05:08.950 00:05:08.960 trucks we did last year the future of
00:05:11.560 00:05:11.570 cooling just a couple numbers from that
00:05:13.600 00:05:13.610 about why that's a blind spot and not
00:05:15.850 00:05:15.860 getting enough attention I was just an
00:05:17.770 00:05:17.780 Indonesia recently Indonesia right now
00:05:20.080 00:05:20.090 has about ten percent penetration of air
00:05:22.600 00:05:22.610 conditioners in the residential space
00:05:24.760 00:05:24.770 right now for those who've been in
00:05:26.650 00:05:26.660 Indonesia various points in the year
00:05:28.330 00:05:28.340 that number will increase significantly
00:05:30.510 00:05:30.520 as the middle class purchasing power
00:05:33.340 00:05:33.350 emerges that is a good thing having more
00:05:35.380 00:05:35.390 accurate air conditioning is a good
00:05:36.670 00:05:36.680 thing but we see in terms of future
00:05:38.980 00:05:38.990 trends is overall globally a tripling of
00:05:42.490 00:05:42.500 additional energy demand just from air
00:05:44.830 00:05:44.840 conditioning to 2050 now that's the
00:05:47.770 00:05:47.780 amount of electricity right now that
00:05:49.900 00:05:49.910 India and China consume just going to
00:05:52.930 00:05:52.940 air conditioning into the future to 2050
00:05:55.150 00:05:55.160 so again just showing you why we
00:05:57.100 00:05:57.110 consider that a blind spot or an area
00:05:58.960 00:05:58.970 that should be focused on similarly for
00:06:01.210 00:06:01.220 petrochemicals
00:06:02.379 00:06:02.389 and the whole presentation today is
00:06:04.209 00:06:04.219 about why that should be appreciated
00:06:06.399 00:06:06.409 should be appreciated more so let's get
00:06:09.279 00:06:09.289 right into it again first part here is
00:06:11.320 00:06:11.330 petrochemicals today so let's just look
00:06:14.559 00:06:14.569 at where petrochemicals are in the world
00:06:17.379 00:06:17.389 around us they are ubiquitous probably
00:06:20.679 00:06:20.689 more so than a lot of people a lot of
00:06:22.629 00:06:22.639 people appreciate first of all is just
00:06:25.089 00:06:25.099 home in office obviously we're in an
00:06:27.040 00:06:27.050 office environment here you can look
00:06:28.929 00:06:28.939 around the room and think about all the
00:06:30.670 00:06:30.680 petrochemicals that are going in
00:06:32.550 00:06:32.560 insulation plastic pipes toiletries in
00:06:35.860 00:06:35.870 your home in the morning medical
00:06:36.969 00:06:36.979 supplies textiles electronics one data
00:06:40.540 00:06:40.550 point there just to show the volume of
00:06:42.809 00:06:42.819 petrochemicals and plastics in
00:06:44.679 00:06:44.689 particular today it's estimated that we
00:06:47.050 00:06:47.060 consume we go through about a million
00:06:49.800 00:06:49.810 plastic bottles every minute in the
00:06:52.929 00:06:52.939 world right now so again just to give
00:06:55.149 00:06:55.159 you a sense of the scale of what we're
00:06:56.920 00:06:56.930 talking about in terms of petrochemicals
00:06:58.779 00:06:58.789 in that instance plastics in particular
00:07:01.769 00:07:01.779 secondly is food and drink especially
00:07:04.240 00:07:04.250 agriculture packaging and very important
00:07:07.290 00:07:07.300 fertilizer huge amounts of
00:07:09.189 00:07:09.199 petrochemicals go into fertilizer in
00:07:11.350 00:07:11.360 particular one nugget there is 50% of
00:07:15.070 00:07:15.080 today's world fooled food supply uses
00:07:19.089 00:07:19.099 synthetic nitrogen the hopefully get the
00:07:23.050 00:07:23.060 I guess they're up there so as long as
00:07:24.610 00:07:24.620 they're up there they're good the slides
00:07:25.959 00:07:25.969 just cut out right here 50 percent of
00:07:29.290 00:07:29.300 global food production uses synthetic
00:07:30.969 00:07:30.979 nitrogen the vast majority of that
00:07:32.469 00:07:32.479 coming
00:07:33.100 00:07:33.110 from petrochemicals from oil and gas in
00:07:35.679 00:07:35.689 particular so again just showing you the
00:07:37.899 00:07:37.909 volume and the importance of
00:07:39.429 00:07:39.439 petrochemicals in in today's world third
00:07:42.939 00:07:42.949 is on the move a lot of our
00:07:44.079 00:07:44.089 transportation depends on petrochemicals
00:07:46.749 00:07:46.759 in one way or another you see tires
00:07:48.129 00:07:48.139 there the more UK spelling of tires I'm
00:07:50.920 00:07:50.930 still getting used to the different
00:07:52.600 00:07:52.610 spellings now be now being in the the
00:07:57.579 00:07:57.589 kind of multilateral space where we tend
00:07:59.920 00:07:59.930 to use UK Spelling's a little bit more
00:08:01.420 00:08:01.430 than Americans buyers but tires whether
00:08:03.640 00:08:03.650 you spell it with a wire and I one
00:08:05.950 00:08:05.960 nugget there is about seven kilograms of
00:08:08.320 00:08:08.330 oil is used for every average sized tire
00:08:10.839 00:08:10.849 so again giving you a sense of how
00:08:14.830 00:08:14.840 important petrochemicals are on that
00:08:16.720 00:08:16.730 part of the transport space luggage
00:08:19.060 00:08:19.070 luggage as well on that front and then
00:08:21.610 00:08:21.620 forth petrochemicals use in energy
00:08:24.159 00:08:24.169 supply and very importantly an
00:08:26.920 00:08:26.930 increasingly energy supply in the more
00:08:31.900 00:08:31.910 emerging newer cleaner kinds of
00:08:34.029 00:08:34.039 technologies so solar PV wind all of
00:08:37.750 00:08:37.760 these technologies use plastics to one
00:08:39.969 00:08:39.979 stent in one extent or another and we'll
00:08:42.100 00:08:42.110 only see that going further in terms of
00:08:44.050 00:08:44.060 plastics being a helpful place in the
00:08:46.780 00:08:46.790 clean energy transitions part as well
00:08:49.600 00:08:49.610 so obviously ubiquitous far-reaching and
00:08:53.079 00:08:53.089 that will only increase going forward so
00:08:56.620 00:08:56.630 let's look a little historically this is
00:08:58.300 00:08:58.310 a chart showing growth for selected bulk
00:09:00.970 00:09:00.980 materials compared against GDP so GDP is
00:09:04.060 00:09:04.070 the dark blue line there that you see in
00:09:06.519 00:09:06.529 front of you you see cement having
00:09:08.310 00:09:08.320 outperformed if you will or done more
00:09:10.660 00:09:10.670 than GDP you see aluminum right around
00:09:13.990 00:09:14.000 GDP and cement actually cement was high
00:09:17.260 00:09:17.270 steel is a little bit less less so so
00:09:19.870 00:09:19.880 let's look at the plastic number on that
00:09:21.540 00:09:21.550 just to see by comparison so what you
00:09:24.640 00:09:24.650 see is over the last forty five years
00:09:26.199 00:09:26.209 we've increased the future was in
00:09:28.360 00:09:28.370 plastics the future is in plastics
00:09:30.930 00:09:30.940 according to the Graduate back in back
00:09:33.670 00:09:33.680 in the day what you see is actually
00:09:35.470 00:09:35.480 about a tenfold increase since 1970 and
00:09:38.530 00:09:38.540 certainly far outpacing GDP and far
00:09:41.620 00:09:41.630 outpacing if you will a lot of these
00:09:43.210 00:09:43.220 other bulk materials and what you see is
00:09:45.940 00:09:45.950 plastics given its versatility actually
00:09:48.430 00:09:48.440 finding itself and do a variety of other
00:09:50.650 00:09:50.660 niches that was previously that were
00:09:52.360 00:09:52.370 previously performed whether by Stewart
00:09:54.160 00:09:54.170 steel aluminum cement etc etc along
00:09:58.240 00:09:58.250 those lines so let's uh yeah bill I
00:10:02.860 00:10:02.870 don't mind stopping at any point if
00:10:04.630 00:10:04.640 anybody has any questions yep
00:10:11.009 00:10:11.019 value of plastic so I think it's tons in
00:10:14.139 00:10:14.149 this instance it's an index here but I
00:10:17.259 00:10:17.269 think it's a volume of volume index I
00:10:20.530 00:10:20.540 can look it up once I get a chance I
00:10:22.870 00:10:22.880 should say the report that Sara
00:10:25.120 00:10:25.130 mentioned and I showed you the cover of
00:10:27.040 00:10:27.050 is now fully downloadable free it was
00:10:28.960 00:10:28.970 launched just a few days ago by Fatih
00:10:31.809 00:10:31.819 actually earlier this week by Foti at an
00:10:33.759 00:10:33.769 oil and gas conference oil and money
00:10:35.769 00:10:35.779 conference and in London so all the
00:10:38.829 00:10:38.839 breakdowns and details can be in there
00:10:41.350 00:10:41.360 but if other people have questions along
00:10:42.610 00:10:42.620 the way I'm happy to if that's useful
00:10:44.470 00:10:44.480 for folks yeah just wait for the mic
00:10:46.290 00:10:46.300 okay all right so just looking at and
00:10:52.689 00:10:52.699 I'll show you some real numbers in terms
00:10:54.189 00:10:54.199 of our modeling going forward but just
00:10:55.749 00:10:55.759 to give you a sense of the growth
00:10:57.129 00:10:57.139 potential through one dynamic so this is
00:10:59.710 00:10:59.720 looking at per capita demand for major
00:11:01.990 00:11:02.000 plastics in 2015 you see Korea on the
00:11:04.660 00:11:04.670 high end Canada Saudi Arabia no surprise
00:11:07.300 00:11:07.310 that more developed countries use more
00:11:09.519 00:11:09.529 plastics per capita and then you get to
00:11:11.800 00:11:11.810 the point of India Africa on the other
00:11:14.379 00:11:14.389 end of the spectrum showing quite much
00:11:17.050 00:11:17.060 lower in fact 20 times lower per capita
00:11:19.569 00:11:19.579 on plastic usage now one could think
00:11:22.600 00:11:22.610 especially is the purchasing power in
00:11:24.249 00:11:24.259 these countries increases the demand for
00:11:26.530 00:11:26.540 a variety of consumer goods a variety of
00:11:28.420 00:11:28.430 transportation options etc etc you could
00:11:31.059 00:11:31.069 see that being a major source and we in
00:11:33.040 00:11:33.050 fact do see that in our scenario work
00:11:35.410 00:11:35.420 being a major source of plastics in
00:11:37.150 00:11:37.160 particular growth going forward similar
00:11:39.699 00:11:39.709 kind of bar chart can be shown on the
00:11:42.699 00:11:42.709 fertiliser side which plastics and
00:11:44.650 00:11:44.660 fertilizers are the two main uses of
00:11:46.449 00:11:46.459 petrochemicals a little less Stark about
00:11:49.120 00:11:49.130 ten times not twenty times on the
00:11:50.800 00:11:50.810 fertilizer fertilizer size at the side
00:11:53.290 00:11:53.300 of things so let's look at plastics and
00:11:57.790 00:11:57.800 or petrochemicals more generally an oil
00:11:59.920 00:11:59.930 and gas demand these are the numbers
00:12:02.110 00:12:02.120 currently on the primary oil side of
00:12:04.269 00:12:04.279 things and then the primary gas demand
00:12:06.819 00:12:06.829 side of things 2017 numbers what you see
00:12:09.759 00:12:09.769 of course on the oil side no surprise
00:12:11.740 00:12:11.750 transport 56 percent is the key driver
00:12:14.730 00:12:14.740 on demand right now plastics importantly
00:12:18.400 00:12:18.410 a 14 percent which is quite significant
00:12:20.590 00:12:20.600 especially comparing to some of the
00:12:21.819 00:12:21.829 other category
00:12:22.510 00:12:22.520 and then on the gas side of things about
00:12:24.550 00:12:24.560 8% along those lines we'll see some
00:12:27.370 00:12:27.380 numbers going forward about how that
00:12:29.220 00:12:29.230 number changes and especially on oil
00:12:31.870 00:12:31.880 increases significantly
00:12:34.050 00:12:34.060 now before shifting over into some of
00:12:36.580 00:12:36.590 this analysis going forward why is it
00:12:39.010 00:12:39.020 that petrochemicals and plastics and
00:12:42.040 00:12:42.050 fertilizers fly under the radar screen
00:12:44.530 00:12:44.540 why is it a area that isn't as fully
00:12:47.410 00:12:47.420 appreciated given some of the numbers
00:12:48.910 00:12:48.920 given some of the ubiquity that we just
00:12:50.590 00:12:50.600 we just looked at one of the answers to
00:12:52.930 00:12:52.940 that is really the feedstock issue so
00:12:55.560 00:12:55.570 plastics fertilizers use energy in two
00:12:58.090 00:12:58.100 ways one is just like any other sector
00:12:59.980 00:12:59.990 would use it
00:13:01.000 00:13:01.010 thermal energy other ways to move things
00:13:03.490 00:13:03.500 along but the second way is feedstocks
00:13:05.890 00:13:05.900 so oil and gas various types of products
00:13:08.320 00:13:08.330 you see a Sankey diagram in front of you
00:13:10.690 00:13:10.700 a lot of different types of oil and gas
00:13:14.670 00:13:14.680 coal etcetera along with a bunch of
00:13:17.230 00:13:17.240 secondary reactants all mixing together
00:13:19.960 00:13:19.970 in a variety of quite complicated ways
00:13:22.750 00:13:22.760 and then forming fertilizers plastics
00:13:25.870 00:13:25.880 fibers rubbers other kinds of products
00:13:28.030 00:13:28.040 as well this is actually a simplified
00:13:30.160 00:13:30.170 version of what could be shown in terms
00:13:32.650 00:13:32.660 of the overall complexity of this so one
00:13:35.230 00:13:35.240 of the answers to why plastics
00:13:39.670 00:13:39.680 fertilizers petrochemicals more
00:13:41.290 00:13:41.300 generally don't get the attention they
00:13:42.700 00:13:42.710 deserve given the major role they play
00:13:44.830 00:13:44.840 an oil and gas demand given the role
00:13:46.360 00:13:46.370 they play more generally in our society
00:13:48.100 00:13:48.110 is the complexity yeah question is where
00:13:53.770 00:13:53.780 do you put natural gas liquids on the
00:13:55.720 00:13:55.730 chart I think it fits in with the gas
00:14:02.650 00:14:02.660 piece of it and then it's broken up in a
00:14:05.890 00:14:05.900 variety of different ways feeding into
00:14:07.270 00:14:07.280 the different products yeah yeah all
00:14:12.760 00:14:12.770 right let's just all right so let's look
00:14:16.120 00:14:16.130 at production around the world it varies
00:14:19.840 00:14:19.850 from region to region this is looking at
00:14:22.120 00:14:22.130 primary chemicals H VCS or high-value
00:14:25.150 00:14:25.160 chemicals mainly used for plastics
00:14:26.920 00:14:26.930 ammonia for fertilizers and then
00:14:29.080 00:14:29.090 methanol the light blue for diverse
00:14:30.670 00:14:30.680 products what you see is the various
00:14:33.460 00:14:33.470 regions around the world there
00:14:35.430 00:14:35.440 for big regions led by Asia Middle East
00:14:39.120 00:14:39.130 Europe and the US little less
00:14:41.430 00:14:41.440 contribution from other places but you
00:14:43.650 00:14:43.660 see different kinds of materials HV C's
00:14:46.830 00:14:46.840 being very important in the u.s. over 50
00:14:49.470 00:14:49.480 US and North America more generally Asia
00:14:52.200 00:14:52.210 a little bit more balanced on that end
00:14:54.120 00:14:54.130 if you look at the feed stocks where
00:14:56.880 00:14:56.890 these are actually coming from oil
00:14:59.160 00:14:59.170 broken up into the three different
00:15:01.050 00:15:01.060 categories you see different variations
00:15:03.570 00:15:03.580 in there the one that stands out from
00:15:05.460 00:15:05.470 the North America perspective is the
00:15:07.560 00:15:07.570 ethane side of it from the oil side of
00:15:10.590 00:15:10.600 the spectrum but again different
00:15:12.560 00:15:12.570 different places yielding both different
00:15:15.570 00:15:15.580 use of primary chemicals but also
00:15:17.640 00:15:17.650 different feedstocks and these really
00:15:21.360 00:15:21.370 are the four big regions if you will
00:15:23.340 00:15:23.350 going forward and we'll look at some
00:15:24.510 00:15:24.520 numbers about how these numbers how
00:15:26.580 00:15:26.590 these change where are the growth
00:15:27.690 00:15:27.700 opportunities for different regions etc
00:15:30.000 00:15:30.010 in a few minutes here and this is owing
00:15:32.790 00:15:32.800 in part in no small part to regional
00:15:35.610 00:15:35.620 cost advantages right no surprise that
00:15:37.440 00:15:37.450 different regions would have different
00:15:40.610 00:15:40.620 opportunities going forward in terms of
00:15:43.670 00:15:43.680 costs of petrochemicals this is a quite
00:15:47.670 00:15:47.680 simplified levelized cost of
00:15:49.170 00:15:49.180 petrochemicals in 2017 trying to compare
00:15:51.830 00:15:51.840 apples to apples as much as possible in
00:15:55.470 00:15:55.480 these kinds of in these kinds of ways
00:15:57.860 00:15:57.870 one thing we're also seeing increasingly
00:16:00.210 00:16:00.220 and the president is a variety of oil
00:16:02.340 00:16:02.350 companies looking to strengthen leak
00:16:04.440 00:16:04.450 links with petrochemicals to look to see
00:16:07.920 00:16:07.930 this as a major source of funding going
00:16:09.870 00:16:09.880 forward this is just a graph showing
00:16:11.880 00:16:11.890 gasoline diesel and naphtha what you see
00:16:15.390 00:16:15.400 here of course is the checkered boxes or
00:16:19.500 00:16:19.510 rectangles they're for gasoline and
00:16:21.000 00:16:21.010 diesel that represents the tax which
00:16:23.670 00:16:23.680 eats up a lot of the potential revenue
00:16:25.560 00:16:25.570 for some of those sources you don't have
00:16:27.360 00:16:27.370 some of those same dynamics with some of
00:16:29.730 00:16:29.740 the use of petrochemicals in ways that
00:16:31.740 00:16:31.750 again for integrated refiners in
00:16:33.660 00:16:33.670 particular can offer higher margins a
00:16:36.720 00:16:36.730 good source of income going forward and
00:16:38.790 00:16:38.800 we see that in a variety of places
00:16:41.010 00:16:41.020 around the world that place that of
00:16:43.620 00:16:43.630 course gets a lot of focus in the u.s.
00:16:45.570 00:16:45.580 is in the Gulf area where you have a lot
00:16:48.000 00:16:48.010 of that petrol come
00:16:48.800 00:16:48.810 capacity already that refining capacity
00:16:50.600 00:16:50.610 and there's some quite interesting
00:16:52.580 00:16:52.590 things going on in that space for a
00:16:55.550 00:16:55.560 whole number of reasons
00:16:56.570 00:16:56.580 so let's look let's just look now at the
00:16:59.420 00:16:59.430 current trajectory so this is what I
00:17:00.920 00:17:00.930 mentioned before our reference
00:17:02.180 00:17:02.190 Technology scenario our RTS this is the
00:17:08.360 00:17:08.370 trajectory we're currently on just
00:17:10.610 00:17:10.620 looking at for those who are familiar
00:17:14.150 00:17:14.160 with the weeoo series the similar to
00:17:17.900 00:17:17.910 what would be the new policy scenario so
00:17:20.240 00:17:20.250 this is current levels of ambition baked
00:17:21.980 00:17:21.990 in in a variety of ways just looking at
00:17:24.199 00:17:24.209 future trends from that from that
00:17:26.270 00:17:26.280 perspective so here's the trajectory we
00:17:29.540 00:17:29.550 look at going forward key thermoplastics
00:17:32.900 00:17:32.910 broken up into a variety of
00:17:34.100 00:17:34.110 subcategories on that front the kind of
00:17:37.190 00:17:37.200 bottom line number is we do continue to
00:17:39.590 00:17:39.600 see strong growth doubling an increase
00:17:42.080 00:17:42.090 another doubling from 2010 to 2050 time
00:17:45.980 00:17:45.990 time period and we also see per capita
00:17:49.300 00:17:49.310 increases significantly in the RTS the
00:17:52.400 00:17:52.410 reference technology scenario we
00:17:54.500 00:17:54.510 actually did a high demand variant as
00:17:56.600 00:17:56.610 well in which you could continue to see
00:17:58.340 00:17:58.350 that increase going forward depending on
00:18:01.610 00:18:01.620 your various assumptions about the
00:18:03.290 00:18:03.300 saturation and how much per capita could
00:18:06.230 00:18:06.240 increase could increase even going
00:18:08.060 00:18:08.070 forward into the into the out years here
00:18:09.919 00:18:09.929 into 2040 2050 time period a very very
00:18:13.490 00:18:13.500 strong growth of plastics and
00:18:15.680 00:18:15.690 petrochemicals more generally going
00:18:17.540 00:18:17.550 forward this may be a clearer way to
00:18:20.450 00:18:20.460 look at that in terms of oil demand
00:18:22.040 00:18:22.050 growth in particular so here's our
00:18:24.919 00:18:24.929 growth demand nine point six million
00:18:28.430 00:18:28.440 barrels per day and let's look at the
00:18:30.860 00:18:30.870 various components of that what's making
00:18:32.990 00:18:33.000 up that growth in this scenario this
00:18:35.360 00:18:35.370 referenced an area going to just 2030 in
00:18:37.910 00:18:37.920 this instance so shipping passenger
00:18:40.820 00:18:40.830 vehicles aviation Road freight and then
00:18:44.360 00:18:44.370 petrochemicals providing a full third of
00:18:47.900 00:18:47.910 that growth to 2030 if you extended this
00:18:51.380 00:18:51.390 graph out and look to 2050 it'd be
00:18:53.540 00:18:53.550 nearly half so significant driver and
00:18:57.470 00:18:57.480 becoming the dominant driver of oil
00:18:59.900 00:18:59.910 demand growth
00:19:01.360 00:19:01.370 for from the petrochemicals
00:19:02.830 00:19:02.840 petrochemical side of things now here's
00:19:06.760 00:19:06.770 some numbers broken up
00:19:08.530 00:19:08.540 regionally you can see the North America
00:19:12.850 00:19:12.860 Europe Middle East Asia Pacific are the
00:19:14.980 00:19:14.990 largest numbers what you see here is a
00:19:17.200 00:19:17.210 couple things one especially looking
00:19:20.260 00:19:20.270 between the first two bars that's a
00:19:22.060 00:19:22.070 20-17 where we are currently looking to
00:19:24.670 00:19:24.680 2030 you see significant amounts of
00:19:27.130 00:19:27.140 increase in a couple places North
00:19:29.470 00:19:29.480 America sees some increase so
00:19:30.970 00:19:30.980 disaggregate that a little bit more for
00:19:32.740 00:19:32.750 you middle ec some increases and then
00:19:35.620 00:19:35.630 asia-pacific both in terms of the
00:19:37.990 00:19:38.000 current volume but then the volume to
00:19:40.240 00:19:40.250 2030 and especially 2050 you just see
00:19:43.210 00:19:43.220 that bar being huge compared to some of
00:19:46.300 00:19:46.310 the other bars and so shows the
00:19:48.900 00:19:48.910 incredibly large amounts coming from the
00:19:51.100 00:19:51.110 Asia Asia Pacific side of things
00:19:52.990 00:19:53.000 including in the longer longer-term side
00:19:56.580 00:19:56.590 so let's just look a little bit North
00:19:59.230 00:19:59.240 America feedstock demand a little bit
00:20:01.210 00:20:01.220 more in detail this will obviously be
00:20:03.130 00:20:03.140 more meaningful for those who who have
00:20:06.010 00:20:06.020 some some greater appreciation
00:20:09.180 00:20:09.190 understanding on high-value chemical
00:20:12.070 00:20:12.080 side of things you see the North America
00:20:14.050 00:20:14.060 demand is really on the ethane side of
00:20:16.090 00:20:16.100 things significantly to 2030 and even
00:20:19.240 00:20:19.250 2050 and then you see natural gas being
00:20:22.330 00:20:22.340 a prime driver on ammonia and methanol
00:20:24.940 00:20:24.950 in particular different regions would
00:20:27.880 00:20:27.890 have different breakdowns of this as
00:20:30.070 00:20:30.080 well
00:20:30.970 00:20:30.980 Europe and Asia Pacific especially China
00:20:34.030 00:20:34.040 is a little bit more coal dominated and
00:20:36.640 00:20:36.650 then the naphtha side of things as well
00:20:39.120 00:20:39.130 so that's the reference scenario that's
00:20:42.580 00:20:42.590 where we're currently headed under
00:20:44.650 00:20:44.660 current levels of ambition current
00:20:47.200 00:20:47.210 policy approaches etc etc so let me just
00:20:51.520 00:20:51.530 show you a few slides now from what we
00:20:53.950 00:20:53.960 call our clean technology scenario so
00:20:57.520 00:20:57.530 it's a different scenario instead of
00:20:59.260 00:20:59.270 just taking current trends and
00:21:00.580 00:21:00.590 extrapolating and looking at to where
00:21:02.350 00:21:02.360 those go into the future the clean
00:21:04.210 00:21:04.220 technology scenario really tries to
00:21:07.030 00:21:07.040 drive the model in ways that reduce a
00:21:10.180 00:21:10.190 variety of
00:21:11.760 00:21:11.770 a different sustainability challenges in
00:21:14.820 00:21:14.830 particular we'll look at air pollution
00:21:16.080 00:21:16.090 we'll look at climate impacts and then
00:21:18.660 00:21:18.670 we'll look at water pollution as well
00:21:20.280 00:21:20.290 which gets a lot of attention in this in
00:21:22.890 00:21:22.900 this area in particular so this is just
00:21:25.890 00:21:25.900 where we're at right now looking at co2
00:21:28.410 00:21:28.420 emissions in a snapshot one thing to
00:21:30.840 00:21:30.850 note here is even though chemicals is
00:21:33.330 00:21:33.340 the largest of the industrial sectors in
00:21:36.000 00:21:36.010 terms of global final energy demand you
00:21:38.430 00:21:38.440 see chemicals there on the very far left
00:21:40.140 00:21:40.150 iron and steel less so cement etc
00:21:43.430 00:21:43.440 because of the feedstock issue because a
00:21:46.020 00:21:46.030 lot of these petrochemicals are being
00:21:49.620 00:21:49.630 locked into products that will last to
00:21:51.990 00:21:52.000 varying degrees some very significant
00:21:54.390 00:21:54.400 amounts of time the chemicals
00:21:56.310 00:21:56.320 represented by the red dots they're
00:21:58.560 00:21:58.570 direct co2 emissions is actually the
00:22:00.660 00:22:00.670 third highest sector so iron and steel
00:22:03.540 00:22:03.550 and cement is higher from a co2
00:22:05.940 00:22:05.950 footprint even though chemicals is
00:22:08.910 00:22:08.920 highest from a final energy demand
00:22:10.710 00:22:10.720 perspective so just to give you a little
00:22:12.450 00:22:12.460 bit of a snap a snapshot on where we're
00:22:15.030 00:22:15.040 at currently on the environmental toll
00:22:16.770 00:22:16.780 at least on that aspect so this is what
00:22:19.910 00:22:19.920 the kind of challenges the pollutants
00:22:24.300 00:22:24.310 coming from the again the reference
00:22:26.520 00:22:26.530 technology scenario so this is all an
00:22:29.520 00:22:29.530 index so it's a little easier to compare
00:22:32.070 00:22:32.080 apples to apples between the three water
00:22:34.860 00:22:34.870 pollutants is that dotted line going up
00:22:37.560 00:22:37.570 significantly from 100 to 200 so that's
00:22:40.050 00:22:40.060 about a doubling of the pollutants if
00:22:41.670 00:22:41.680 you will from the primary chemical
00:22:44.070 00:22:44.080 production going forward to that 2050
00:22:46.560 00:22:46.570 time period you see the carbon dioxide
00:22:48.720 00:22:48.730 emission significantly increase although
00:22:52.140 00:22:52.150 start to flatten out a little bit as you
00:22:53.880 00:22:53.890 get closer to 2050 and then you see air
00:22:56.370 00:22:56.380 pollutants actually being reduced even
00:22:58.980 00:22:58.990 in the reference technology scenario for
00:23:01.110 00:23:01.120 for a number of reasons but that's the
00:23:03.660 00:23:03.670 reference technology scenario now let me
00:23:06.210 00:23:06.220 just show you the numbers in dark here
00:23:08.610 00:23:08.620 the non dotted thicker lines this is our
00:23:11.220 00:23:11.230 clean technology scenario so this is the
00:23:13.770 00:23:13.780 scenario and I should say - this uses
00:23:16.080 00:23:16.090 existing technologies it's
00:23:17.520 00:23:17.530 cost-effective we'll get to that in a
00:23:19.560 00:23:19.570 minute
00:23:20.310 00:23:20.320 but this requires a significant amount
00:23:22.860 00:23:22.870 of policy significant amount of market
00:23:24.990 00:23:25.000 design
00:23:25.550 00:23:25.560 try to really take advantage of these
00:23:27.530 00:23:27.540 opportunities for enhanced
00:23:28.640 00:23:28.650 sustainability so what you see here is
00:23:31.520 00:23:31.530 air pollutants and water pollutants very
00:23:34.640 00:23:34.650 much significantly reduced trying almost
00:23:37.280 00:23:37.290 to get to the to get to the zero
00:23:39.410 00:23:39.420 perspective it's actually an 85%
00:23:42.230 00:23:42.240 reduction on the air pollution side and
00:23:44.120 00:23:44.130 90% reduction on the water pollution
00:23:46.040 00:23:46.050 side in this CTS this clean technology
00:23:48.710 00:23:48.720 scenario and even the carbon dioxide
00:23:50.960 00:23:50.970 that's the dark blue a decrease of about
00:23:53.660 00:23:53.670 forty five percent reduction so again
00:23:56.180 00:23:56.190 significant we're not just doing this
00:23:58.070 00:23:58.080 scenario and nibbling around the margins
00:23:59.540 00:23:59.550 this is a pretty significant
00:24:01.520 00:24:01.530 sustainability scenario going forward
00:24:04.600 00:24:04.610 now let's look at some of these a little
00:24:06.590 00:24:06.600 bit more in detail let's start with the
00:24:08.270 00:24:08.280 plastic issue the plastic pollution
00:24:10.700 00:24:10.710 issue which does get a lot of attention
00:24:12.110 00:24:12.120 these days sometimes a little bit out of
00:24:14.330 00:24:14.340 perspective but let's look at the actual
00:24:17.180 00:24:17.190 numbers of what's possible here what you
00:24:22.430 00:24:22.440 see in front of you are secondary
00:24:24.110 00:24:24.120 plastic production so compared to
00:24:26.840 00:24:26.850 primary plastic production so the
00:24:28.550 00:24:28.560 primary plastic production side of
00:24:30.140 00:24:30.150 things is is showing up there in terms
00:24:34.610 00:24:34.620 of yeah so in this instance the
00:24:46.130 00:24:46.140 secondary plastic is the amount being
00:24:48.380 00:24:48.390 recycled and brought in that way so it's
00:24:50.840 00:24:50.850 not using yep
00:24:52.100 00:24:52.110 that makes sense so what you see here is
00:24:55.280 00:24:55.290 a number a number of things you see huge
00:24:58.760 00:24:58.770 amounts of increases on the recycling
00:25:02.360 00:25:02.370 side of things with the CTS versus the
00:25:04.790 00:25:04.800 RTS so the clean technology scenario is
00:25:07.670 00:25:07.680 the purple bar much higher in 2030 and
00:25:10.610 00:25:10.620 especially much higher in 2050 compared
00:25:13.670 00:25:13.680 to those light blue which are the RTS in
00:25:16.520 00:25:16.530 2030 and 2050 so what we see here in the
00:25:19.550 00:25:19.560 CTS is a significant amount much higher
00:25:22.370 00:25:22.380 amount of recycling going on the global
00:25:26.720 00:25:26.730 collection rate here I'll show you in
00:25:28.640 00:25:28.650 red with a bit of a bar and you see a
00:25:31.430 00:25:31.440 significant amount of primary chemical
00:25:32.840 00:25:32.850 savings so the more you recycle and put
00:25:36.080 00:25:36.090 into secondary plastic production the
00:25:37.730 00:25:37.740 less you have to use
00:25:39.320 00:25:39.330 from a primary chemical perspective now
00:25:44.000 00:25:44.010 this is the plastic waste leakage into
00:25:46.640 00:25:46.650 the ocean so the ocean bound plastic
00:25:49.040 00:25:49.050 leakage that gets a lot of attention
00:25:51.050 00:25:51.060 these big areas in the Pacific in
00:25:53.660 00:25:53.670 particular that are accumulating all of
00:25:55.880 00:25:55.890 this plastic some in larger amounts but
00:25:59.090 00:25:59.100 also the micro plastics that are finding
00:26:01.040 00:26:01.050 their way into fish and finding their
00:26:02.870 00:26:02.880 way into the end of the food chain
00:26:05.260 00:26:05.270 insignificant and amounts of number so
00:26:08.210 00:26:08.220 what you see here is comparing the RTS
00:26:10.760 00:26:10.770 reference case annual leakage those are
00:26:13.820 00:26:13.830 the dotted boxes rectangles that you see
00:26:16.580 00:26:16.590 increasing going forward starting at a
00:26:19.370 00:26:19.380 significant amount already but
00:26:21.050 00:26:21.060 increasing significantly amount going
00:26:23.810 00:26:23.820 forward and the CTS is the dark
00:26:26.900 00:26:26.910 rectangles towards the very bottom and
00:26:29.150 00:26:29.160 really aggressively being pushed to try
00:26:31.670 00:26:31.680 to have less and less annually going
00:26:34.250 00:26:34.260 into the oceans if you look at the
00:26:36.680 00:26:36.690 cumulative leakage that is how much is
00:26:38.840 00:26:38.850 in the oceans you see the RTS cumulative
00:26:41.450 00:26:41.460 leakage no surprise that those numbers
00:26:42.920 00:26:42.930 would keep increasing if you keep
00:26:44.420 00:26:44.430 increasing the amounts you're putting
00:26:46.400 00:26:46.410 into the oceans the cts cumulative
00:26:49.370 00:26:49.380 leakage is significantly significantly
00:26:52.400 00:26:52.410 lower they're to the point of being
00:26:55.190 00:26:55.200 halved from that cumulative level on the
00:26:58.640 00:26:58.650 on the reference case scenario going
00:27:02.750 00:27:02.760 forward so this is again a very
00:27:04.880 00:27:04.890 aggressive plastics recycling program
00:27:07.930 00:27:07.940 driving things down what you see here is
00:27:10.640 00:27:10.650 still a significant amount of cumulative
00:27:12.320 00:27:12.330 leakage even with this aggressive
00:27:13.910 00:27:13.920 recycling even under this aggressive
00:27:16.030 00:27:16.040 scenario one of the solutions has been
00:27:18.890 00:27:18.900 looked at is to try to have active
00:27:20.570 00:27:20.580 programs to remove some of those
00:27:21.860 00:27:21.870 plastics from a variety of places in the
00:27:24.200 00:27:24.210 oceans or certainly even before they
00:27:25.910 00:27:25.920 before they get there so let's look at
00:27:28.490 00:27:28.500 co2 emissions these are the differences
00:27:32.300 00:27:32.310 between the again the reference case
00:27:34.610 00:27:34.620 scenario co2 emissions increasing not
00:27:38.090 00:27:38.100 increasing as much as other sectors
00:27:40.850 00:27:40.860 again and in part because of the
00:27:42.830 00:27:42.840 feedstock issue but increasing in
00:27:44.960 00:27:44.970 significant amounts and then you see the
00:27:47.330 00:27:47.340 CTS there which is really driving down
00:27:49.850 00:27:49.860 the energy related emission
00:27:52.010 00:27:52.020 again that's a significant part of the
00:27:54.230 00:27:54.240 co2 profile is really the energy related
00:27:57.050 00:27:57.060 emissions those amounts of energy used
00:27:59.240 00:27:59.250 to drive different catalytic chemical
00:28:02.690 00:28:02.700 reactions etc the process emissions
00:28:05.060 00:28:05.070 starting quite a bit less decreasing
00:28:07.820 00:28:07.830 less but the real emissions benefits you
00:28:10.160 00:28:10.170 get is from the energy related emissions
00:28:11.600 00:28:11.610 side of things and you see the
00:28:13.370 00:28:13.380 cumulative arounds and the CTS quite
00:28:16.550 00:28:16.560 significant again a 45 percent reduction
00:28:19.460 00:28:19.470 in the CTS with energy related emissions
00:28:22.310 00:28:22.320 declining declining and taking care of
00:28:24.950 00:28:24.960 the significant part of it so this now
00:28:27.830 00:28:27.840 looks at well how do you get there so
00:28:29.780 00:28:29.790 assuming you want to get some of these
00:28:30.980 00:28:30.990 benefits you want to get the 45%
00:28:32.810 00:28:32.820 reduction on the co2 side you want to
00:28:34.850 00:28:34.860 get the 90% reduction on the plastic
00:28:36.710 00:28:36.720 leakage side of things what are the
00:28:38.960 00:28:38.970 different policy mechanisms what are the
00:28:41.330 00:28:41.340 ways cost-effectively to actually make
00:28:43.580 00:28:43.590 those reductions a couple things are
00:28:45.470 00:28:45.480 striking in this chart we break it up
00:28:47.810 00:28:47.820 into five different categories one is
00:28:50.330 00:28:50.340 the largest as CC us I'll have a slide
00:28:52.520 00:28:52.530 in particular that dives into that but
00:28:54.590 00:28:54.600 that ends up being very much and you see
00:28:57.740 00:28:57.750 here over a third of the cost-effective
00:29:00.410 00:29:00.420 opportunities to reduce the co2
00:29:02.180 00:29:02.190 footprint from the petrochemicals
00:29:04.220 00:29:04.230 industry secondly is feedstock shifts
00:29:08.510 00:29:08.520 especially from coal to natural gas now
00:29:10.820 00:29:10.830 China is the main country right now
00:29:12.680 00:29:12.690 using coal as a feedstock into the
00:29:15.110 00:29:15.120 petrochemical side of things a full
00:29:17.270 00:29:17.280 quarter of the opportunity space in
00:29:20.600 00:29:20.610 terms of reducing co2 footprint just
00:29:22.400 00:29:22.410 from the coal to natural gas feedstock
00:29:24.290 00:29:24.300 shift equally 25% from the energy
00:29:27.680 00:29:27.690 efficiency side that's no surprise for
00:29:30.110 00:29:30.120 those who focus on energy efficiency it
00:29:31.940 00:29:31.950 ends up driving a large part of our
00:29:34.160 00:29:34.170 various scenarios across different
00:29:35.870 00:29:35.880 technologies across different industries
00:29:37.930 00:29:37.940 it's interesting that the plastics
00:29:40.010 00:29:40.020 recycling piece while important and
00:29:42.350 00:29:42.360 again very much an aggressive recycling
00:29:44.780 00:29:44.790 regime in this particular scenario is
00:29:47.000 00:29:47.010 only responsible for 9% of the reduction
00:29:50.000 00:29:50.010 of co2 emissions so lots of reasons to
00:29:53.930 00:29:53.940 do the recycling including
00:29:55.760 00:29:55.770 sustainability but it's not going to be
00:29:57.800 00:29:57.810 the primary driver to really clean up
00:30:00.350 00:30:00.360 the co2 footprint for sure from
00:30:03.060 00:30:03.070 part of thing an alternative feedstocks
00:30:05.100 00:30:05.110 at 6% now a lot of different assumptions
00:30:08.070 00:30:08.080 about what kinds of alternative
00:30:09.690 00:30:09.700 feedstocks will be available at what
00:30:11.310 00:30:11.320 price there is some R&D going into this
00:30:13.470 00:30:13.480 development it's one of the more
00:30:14.789 00:30:14.799 difficult areas to actually model to
00:30:17.850 00:30:17.860 figure out what's going to happen into
00:30:19.590 00:30:19.600 the future but as we look at it much
00:30:22.230 00:30:22.240 more cost effective solutions certainly
00:30:24.090 00:30:24.100 in that time period of 2050 from CC us
00:30:26.519 00:30:26.529 from recycling etc along those lines so
00:30:31.830 00:30:31.840 let's look now at CCS what CCS in the
00:30:35.310 00:30:35.320 petrochemical side of things really
00:30:37.710 00:30:37.720 changes from using CCS and there's a
00:30:39.869 00:30:39.879 significant amount of CC you if you will
00:30:42.029 00:30:42.039 going on right now carbon capture for
00:30:46.049 00:30:46.059 utilization you see that in the light
00:30:47.999 00:30:48.009 blue bar they're going forward it's
00:30:50.399 00:30:50.409 actually not that much different from
00:30:51.899 00:30:51.909 RTS CTS those numbers are already
00:30:54.450 00:30:54.460 significant those numbers are going up
00:30:57.509 00:30:57.519 to a certain extent the real difference
00:30:59.580 00:30:59.590 here is the CC you s the storage piece
00:31:03.389 00:31:03.399 of the equation here that's where you
00:31:04.950 00:31:04.960 get your significant carbon reductions
00:31:06.749 00:31:06.759 is actually storing especially some of
00:31:09.119 00:31:09.129 those process energy energy generated
00:31:12.180 00:31:12.190 along those lines
00:31:13.019 00:31:13.029 so again CCS doing a significant amount
00:31:15.899 00:31:15.909 you see the dark rectangles there that
00:31:18.990 00:31:19.000 capture for storage you see very little
00:31:20.850 00:31:20.860 of that in the reference technology
00:31:22.529 00:31:22.539 scenario no surprise because that costs
00:31:24.659 00:31:24.669 extra money unless you have a carbon
00:31:26.490 00:31:26.500 price or other mechanism to drive that
00:31:28.740 00:31:28.750 you're just not going to see a whole lot
00:31:29.999 00:31:30.009 of it whereas in the CTS where you do
00:31:32.430 00:31:32.440 drive do drive policies in a significant
00:31:35.549 00:31:35.559 way you see a significantly higher
00:31:37.740 00:31:37.750 number on that front alright so how much
00:31:41.940 00:31:41.950 more does the CTS the clean technology
00:31:45.509 00:31:45.519 scenario cost from the reference
00:31:46.889 00:31:46.899 technology scenario now one thing that's
00:31:49.230 00:31:49.240 interesting is it actually costs less
00:31:51.960 00:31:51.970 now it requires a whole little policies
00:31:54.810 00:31:54.820 I'll get to that in a minute
00:31:55.950 00:31:55.960 a whole slew of market designs but
00:31:58.710 00:31:58.720 because of the savings you get from
00:32:00.389 00:32:00.399 recycling and especially from coal to
00:32:02.639 00:32:02.649 gas feedstock and you see that for
00:32:04.320 00:32:04.330 ammonia methanol and HBC's on the chart
00:32:06.990 00:32:07.000 in front of you it actually means that
00:32:08.879 00:32:08.889 the CTS is less capital intensive about
00:32:12.389 00:32:12.399 1.5 trillion compared to the RTS which
00:32:15.659 00:32:15.669 is about one points
00:32:16.799 00:32:16.809 and trillions about 200 million saved if
00:32:20.489 00:32:20.499 you will through the CTS versus the RTS
00:32:23.820 00:32:23.830 now that's just because there's
00:32:26.159 00:32:26.169 theoretical cost savings doesn't mean
00:32:28.259 00:32:28.269 it's going to happen it's a variety of
00:32:30.090 00:32:30.100 different policies and mechanisms to
00:32:31.830 00:32:31.840 have the incentive structure for that to
00:32:34.230 00:32:34.240 to actually come to fruition a couple
00:32:37.200 00:32:37.210 last words just looking at CTS and oil
00:32:39.480 00:32:39.490 demand so we looked at the numbers
00:32:41.460 00:32:41.470 previously about the third going to 2030
00:32:45.360 00:32:45.370 the oil demand growth being driven by
00:32:48.509 00:32:48.519 petrochemicals and the full half or 50%
00:32:51.330 00:32:51.340 going forward so here's what that looks
00:32:53.909 00:32:53.919 like in terms of percentage terms from
00:32:56.639 00:32:56.649 the the RTS going forward this is
00:32:59.399 00:32:59.409 looking at oil demand increases to about
00:33:02.070 00:33:02.080 16 percent so 16 percent in 2050 of
00:33:05.609 00:33:05.619 overall oil demand it isn't just growth
00:33:07.799 00:33:07.809 this is overall oil demand will come
00:33:10.499 00:33:10.509 from petrochemicals what happens in the
00:33:13.590 00:33:13.600 cts is because of some of the
00:33:17.930 00:33:17.940 constraints some of the mechanisms
00:33:19.940 00:33:19.950 carbon pricing etc what you actually see
00:33:24.389 00:33:24.399 is a greater reduction in other parts of
00:33:28.169 00:33:28.179 oil demand especially in transport
00:33:30.149 00:33:30.159 compared to a continued increase and you
00:33:33.720 00:33:33.730 see the blue bar continuing to increase
00:33:35.279 00:33:35.289 on oil demand from the petrochemical
00:33:38.100 00:33:38.110 side of things to the point where
00:33:40.499 00:33:40.509 instead of just 16% under the reference
00:33:42.659 00:33:42.669 case by 2050 coming of oil demand coming
00:33:46.259 00:33:46.269 from petrochemicals you see it increase
00:33:48.299 00:33:48.309 to 26% so it's less oil demand but a
00:33:52.080 00:33:52.090 greater percentage under that clean
00:33:53.879 00:33:53.889 technology clean technology scenario we
00:33:57.239 00:33:57.249 just show you one graph to make that
00:33:59.549 00:33:59.559 point a little bit more apparent from
00:34:02.129 00:34:02.139 the passenger transport side of things
00:34:04.019 00:34:04.029 so what you see here are 2017 numbers
00:34:06.840 00:34:06.850 for four different countries or regions
00:34:09.089 00:34:09.099 US European Union China and India the
00:34:12.540 00:34:12.550 green is the oil demand for Road
00:34:14.430 00:34:14.440 Transport Road passenger transport huge
00:34:16.859 00:34:16.869 in the US huge in European Union pretty
00:34:19.379 00:34:19.389 significant in China India and then you
00:34:21.629 00:34:21.639 see the oil demand for plastics
00:34:23.399 00:34:23.409 consumption is the red they're
00:34:24.750 00:34:24.760 comparably now this is what it looks
00:34:27.300 00:34:27.310 like in the CTS so you get a significant
00:34:30.450 00:34:30.460 amount
00:34:30.700 00:34:30.710 of additional electric vehicles coming
00:34:33.310 00:34:33.320 in under the CTS hundreds of millions of
00:34:36.129 00:34:36.139 electric vehicles other ways that reduce
00:34:38.619 00:34:38.629 the oil demand for road passenger
00:34:40.960 00:34:40.970 transport you see the significant
00:34:42.550 00:34:42.560 reduction on the US European Union etc
00:34:44.490 00:34:44.500 whereas you see it increases and staying
00:34:49.570 00:34:49.580 quite stable for the US and European
00:34:52.629 00:34:52.639 Union China and India increasing
00:34:54.460 00:34:54.470 significantly to the point where by 2050
00:34:57.670 00:34:57.680 the per capita oil demand overtakes road
00:35:01.000 00:35:01.010 transport in all of these regions in
00:35:02.950 00:35:02.960 terms of again the oil demand under this
00:35:05.440 00:35:05.450 more clean clean technology scenario so
00:35:09.040 00:35:09.050 let me conclude with just a two slides
00:35:10.990 00:35:11.000 as we do in a lot of reports well it's
00:35:13.630 00:35:13.640 good to know that there's this scenario
00:35:15.370 00:35:15.380 theoretically out there how would you
00:35:17.800 00:35:17.810 actually take advantage of it if you
00:35:19.329 00:35:19.339 were a government or a company what are
00:35:22.000 00:35:22.010 the recommendations to actually get you
00:35:23.920 00:35:23.930 from that reference case to that clean
00:35:26.020 00:35:26.030 technology scenario so we'll break this
00:35:28.390 00:35:28.400 up and do a series of five each five for
00:35:32.260 00:35:32.270 production and then five for the use and
00:35:34.180 00:35:34.190 consumption first no surprise stimulate
00:35:37.420 00:35:37.430 that investment in R&D if you don't do
00:35:39.280 00:35:39.290 the investment in R&D about the
00:35:41.170 00:35:41.180 sustainable chemical production routes
00:35:43.000 00:35:43.010 whether alternative feedstocks or other
00:35:45.280 00:35:45.290 R&D that can be done you're not going to
00:35:47.530 00:35:47.540 have those technological options options
00:35:50.320 00:35:50.330 going forward secondly establishing
00:35:53.710 00:35:53.720 extending plant level benchmarking
00:35:55.630 00:35:55.640 schemes for energy performance again
00:35:58.030 00:35:58.040 incenting the adoption through fiscal
00:36:00.000 00:36:00.010 incentives really trying to drive the
00:36:02.230 00:36:02.240 market in ways that you that you want
00:36:05.070 00:36:05.080 efforts to reduce co2 emissions the CTS
00:36:08.859 00:36:08.869 very much as part of a broader series of
00:36:11.740 00:36:11.750 measures to really to really drive the
00:36:14.589 00:36:14.599 co2 emissions air quality standards can
00:36:18.520 00:36:18.530 certainly be helpful on this side those
00:36:20.859 00:36:20.869 for industry can help be part of the
00:36:22.720 00:36:22.730 solution going forward and then fuel and
00:36:25.839 00:36:25.849 feedstock prices should reflect actual
00:36:27.490 00:36:27.500 market value if you want the incentive
00:36:29.710 00:36:29.720 structures right to really drive that
00:36:32.980 00:36:32.990 you have to have the fuel and feed stock
00:36:34.599 00:36:34.609 prices reflecting actual market value
00:36:36.640 00:36:36.650 we've obviously had a lot of efforts on
00:36:38.530 00:36:38.540 the subsidization of fossil fuels a lot
00:36:41.440 00:36:41.450 of discussion about that a lot of
00:36:42.730 00:36:42.740 challenge some countries have made
00:36:43.960 00:36:43.970 progress in
00:36:44.529 00:36:44.539 recent years some countries are losing
00:36:47.439 00:36:47.449 some of that progress because of the
00:36:49.209 00:36:49.219 high oil price recently in particular
00:36:52.229 00:36:52.239 second set of five recommendations this
00:36:55.059 00:36:55.069 is on use in disposal of chemical
00:36:56.799 00:36:56.809 products it is incredibly helpful to
00:37:00.339 00:37:00.349 reduce the reliance on single-use
00:37:01.809 00:37:01.819 plastics that's what's getting a lot of
00:37:03.400 00:37:03.410 attention these days the straw is the
00:37:05.919 00:37:05.929 bags etc that can certainly be a part of
00:37:10.059 00:37:10.069 the solution but again very importantly
00:37:12.880 00:37:12.890 only a part of the solution it really
00:37:14.620 00:37:14.630 requires a much more comprehensive
00:37:16.529 00:37:16.539 thoughtful regime to get at the full
00:37:19.179 00:37:19.189 sustainability benefits improving waste
00:37:21.519 00:37:21.529 management practices consumer awareness
00:37:24.130 00:37:24.140 design products with disposal in mind
00:37:26.890 00:37:26.900 don't just design your product for that
00:37:28.809 00:37:28.819 immediate consumer experience but what
00:37:30.549 00:37:30.559 is it and where is that product going
00:37:32.109 00:37:32.119 after that and then looking at some
00:37:35.169 00:37:35.179 different mechanisms to have producer
00:37:36.669 00:37:36.679 responsibilities so with producers are
00:37:38.949 00:37:38.959 putting out a certain amount of products
00:37:40.929 00:37:40.939 out there what's the right incentive
00:37:42.789 00:37:42.799 structure to make sure that those get
00:37:44.229 00:37:44.239 recycled those get reused in ways that
00:37:47.229 00:37:47.239 are appropriate for the overall system
00:37:48.759 00:37:48.769 not just that that producer so just a
00:37:52.599 00:37:52.609 few conclusions here petrochemicals
00:37:55.359 00:37:55.369 really are deeply embedded in our
00:37:57.039 00:37:57.049 economies everyday lives they also play
00:37:59.169 00:37:59.179 as I said a role in many clean energy
00:38:01.479 00:38:01.489 technologies today this will only
00:38:03.489 00:38:03.499 increase under any scenario that you
00:38:05.559 00:38:05.569 could look at in a realistic world going
00:38:07.959 00:38:07.969 forward into the next several decades
00:38:09.429 00:38:09.439 period of time petrochemicals are the
00:38:12.189 00:38:12.199 largest driver of global oil demand a
00:38:14.499 00:38:14.509 third of that growth to 2030 nearly half
00:38:16.659 00:38:16.669 to 2050 frankly even a larger percentage
00:38:19.779 00:38:19.789 in a clean technology scenario in a
00:38:22.299 00:38:22.309 world that's trying to maximize more
00:38:24.069 00:38:24.079 sustainability benefits us-china in the
00:38:27.279 00:38:27.289 Middle East in particular leading growth
00:38:29.319 00:38:29.329 in petrochemicals with some interesting
00:38:31.689 00:38:31.699 near-term opportunities in the u.s. in
00:38:34.419 00:38:34.429 particular production use in disposal of
00:38:37.509 00:38:37.519 chemicals take an environmental toll
00:38:39.579 00:38:39.589 they do have a significant environmental
00:38:41.409 00:38:41.419 footprint right now and that will
00:38:43.359 00:38:43.369 increase into the future but there are a
00:38:45.549 00:38:45.559 variety as we talked about achievable
00:38:47.829 00:38:47.839 cost-effective steps steps that can be
00:38:50.409 00:38:50.419 taken and just one last plug for the IEA
00:38:54.609 00:38:54.619 blindspots
00:38:55.569 00:38:55.579 series we did trucks we did air
00:38:57.459 00:38:57.469 conditioner
00:38:58.720 00:38:58.730 we actually have some focus on modern
00:39:01.240 00:39:01.250 bioenergy that's now out part of our
00:39:03.340 00:39:03.350 renewables annual renewables report and
00:39:05.710 00:39:05.720 more to come looking at rail looking at
00:39:08.230 00:39:08.240 a variety of other areas that we think
00:39:09.970 00:39:09.980 are blind spots aren't getting as much
00:39:12.430 00:39:12.440 attention as they should give for a
00:39:14.530 00:39:14.540 whole variety of reasons going forward
00:39:16.780 00:39:16.790 but thanks again for having me here
00:39:19.030 00:39:19.040 Sarah and Ian and the full CSIS team
00:39:21.430 00:39:21.440 thank you for all coming out on a rainy
00:39:23.560 00:39:23.570 day I hope the rain has stopped and
00:39:26.320 00:39:26.330 spending a little bit of time and more
00:39:28.570 00:39:28.580 than happy to certainly answer questions
00:39:30.250 00:39:30.260 and more than happy to continue our
00:39:32.260 00:39:32.270 collaboration from the IEA side of
00:39:34.030 00:39:34.040 things with with a variety of you right
00:39:36.550 00:39:36.560 of you going forward so thanks thanks
00:39:44.110 00:39:44.120 Dave no I think you did bring out the
00:39:45.910 00:39:45.920 nice weather so it's much better right
00:39:47.530 00:39:47.540 now than then whenever Benny arrived
00:39:48.970 00:39:48.980 okay so first off congratulations I
00:39:51.610 00:39:51.620 think the blind spot series is really
00:39:52.930 00:39:52.940 important I think the way in which that
00:39:54.940 00:39:54.950 you guys have applied frameworks for
00:39:57.160 00:39:57.170 thinking about issues that people
00:39:59.260 00:39:59.270 fundamentally don't understand or don't
00:40:00.580 00:40:00.590 appreciate enough in our sort of normal
00:40:03.300 00:40:03.310 energy market or policy dialogue has
00:40:06.070 00:40:06.080 been really important I thought the air
00:40:07.570 00:40:07.580 conditioning cooling one was
00:40:08.980 00:40:08.990 particularly insightful and this one is
00:40:11.200 00:40:11.210 as well so a couple things I wanted to
00:40:13.660 00:40:13.670 ask about first going back to the
00:40:16.300 00:40:16.310 beginning of your presentation you
00:40:17.590 00:40:17.600 talked about the commercial strategy if
00:40:22.300 00:40:22.310 you will you don't think you use those
00:40:23.680 00:40:23.690 terms but sort of the attractiveness of
00:40:25.450 00:40:25.460 petrochemicals to oil and gas company
00:40:28.000 00:40:28.010 strategy and I think that that's an
00:40:30.070 00:40:30.080 interesting that's an interesting point
00:40:32.050 00:40:32.060 it's certainly something that we've
00:40:33.040 00:40:33.050 observed that as you know companies are
00:40:35.770 00:40:35.780 looking out into the world and looking
00:40:37.930 00:40:37.940 at the future of oil demand and all of
00:40:39.610 00:40:39.620 the both you know potential positive and
00:40:41.800 00:40:41.810 negative uncertainties out there about
00:40:45.100 00:40:45.110 the trajectory of that demand
00:40:46.740 00:40:46.750 petrochemicals has really sort of turned
00:40:49.030 00:40:49.040 out to be one of those things where they
00:40:51.340 00:40:51.350 can create more value added they feel
00:40:53.410 00:40:53.420 like it gives them sort of a deeper
00:40:55.050 00:40:55.060 connection into some of the consuming
00:40:57.640 00:40:57.650 countries where they you know suppliers
00:41:00.280 00:41:00.290 of what I would like to participate in
00:41:01.630 00:41:01.640 those markets but what I find
00:41:03.430 00:41:03.440 interesting is is if you look at what
00:41:05.440 00:41:05.450 you've just presented that calls that
00:41:07.780 00:41:07.790 into a question a little bit right so so
00:41:10.630 00:41:10.640 the idea is
00:41:11.650 00:41:11.660 that petrochemicals are gonna be a
00:41:12.789 00:41:12.799 larger share but if we actually go about
00:41:15.520 00:41:15.530 trying to apply all the sustainable
00:41:18.750 00:41:18.760 criteria to petrochemicals that we do to
00:41:21.670 00:41:21.680 the way that we consume energy we're
00:41:23.710 00:41:23.720 actually going to be reducing demand for
00:41:25.539 00:41:25.549 those products over all at the same time
00:41:28.720 00:41:28.730 when we talk to companies we find them
00:41:31.809 00:41:31.819 wanting to embed petrochemicals and
00:41:33.760 00:41:33.770 plastics into more portions of the built
00:41:37.480 00:41:37.490 environment so not using cement and
00:41:39.549 00:41:39.559 steel as much but being able to use
00:41:41.220 00:41:41.230 plastics and other petrochemicals for
00:41:43.480 00:41:43.490 more and more things can you talk a
00:41:45.670 00:41:45.680 little bit about as you guys were
00:41:46.990 00:41:47.000 engaging with companies where you see
00:41:50.260 00:41:50.270 the kind of outlay that you've looked at
00:41:52.900 00:41:52.910 here for petrochemicals and in and how
00:41:55.510 00:41:55.520 that's factoring into some of their
00:41:57.039 00:41:57.049 commercial strategy no thanks thank
00:42:02.500 00:42:02.510 thanks Sara obviously different
00:42:04.000 00:42:04.010 companies different perspectives some
00:42:06.960 00:42:06.970 have a greater or lesser appreciation
00:42:10.359 00:42:10.369 depending on what their particular
00:42:11.319 00:42:11.329 business model is so a couple thoughts
00:42:14.380 00:42:14.390 on this one in we try never to present
00:42:18.940 00:42:18.950 our scenarios as this is how things are
00:42:20.680 00:42:20.690 definitely going to play out like the
00:42:22.240 00:42:22.250 world is too complicated to do that the
00:42:24.010 00:42:24.020 scenarios are less forecasts and more
00:42:26.529 00:42:26.539 models of what the world could look at
00:42:28.450 00:42:28.460 lenses in which to view whether certain
00:42:31.539 00:42:31.549 decisions make sense from a business
00:42:33.220 00:42:33.230 perspective or not on that side of
00:42:35.650 00:42:35.660 things
00:42:36.029 00:42:36.039 certainly the chart which if I were an
00:42:38.440 00:42:38.450 oil and gas company or others in this
00:42:40.750 00:42:40.760 space that I think is maybe the most
00:42:43.210 00:42:43.220 compelling is that historic chart with
00:42:45.190 00:42:45.200 that tenfold increase since 1970 over
00:42:48.250 00:42:48.260 this forty five forty seven plus year
00:42:51.819 00:42:51.829 period of time huge increase and what
00:42:54.490 00:42:54.500 we've seen is the plastics and chemicals
00:42:57.220 00:42:57.230 industry more generally has a huge
00:43:00.250 00:43:00.260 amount of flexibility for as you just
00:43:01.930 00:43:01.940 mentioned new products new solutions
00:43:05.140 00:43:05.150 we've got 3d in manufacturing coming
00:43:09.700 00:43:09.710 which opens up all sorts of different
00:43:11.740 00:43:11.750 business models that aren't based on a
00:43:13.720 00:43:13.730 manufacturing facility in one big
00:43:15.700 00:43:15.710 location and shipping products but a
00:43:17.740 00:43:17.750 much more distributed manufacturing kind
00:43:19.779 00:43:19.789 of opportunity space going going forward
00:43:22.900 00:43:22.910 on that side so you could certainly
00:43:25.270 00:43:25.280 envision a variety on the plastic side a
00:43:27.520 00:43:27.530 variety of different applications in
00:43:29.200 00:43:29.210 different kinds different kinds of ways
00:43:31.510 00:43:31.520 ways as well so that I think is a pretty
00:43:36.250 00:43:36.260 significant data point that historic
00:43:38.830 00:43:38.840 data point and what the trends have been
00:43:40.360 00:43:40.370 and and in the past I think it's
00:43:43.810 00:43:43.820 actually useful to look both at the RTS
00:43:47.020 00:43:47.030 the reference case and then the clean
00:43:48.790 00:43:48.800 technology case in both of those
00:43:51.640 00:43:51.650 instances you still see a significant
00:43:54.670 00:43:54.680 amount of increases on the oil demand
00:43:56.560 00:43:56.570 side certainly overall and even more a
00:44:01.030 00:44:01.040 percentage increase from oil demand
00:44:03.700 00:44:03.710 going into petrochemicals in the clean
00:44:05.530 00:44:05.540 technology sector so if I was a company
00:44:07.810 00:44:07.820 and I was looking at that that would
00:44:09.850 00:44:09.860 mean that with any variation of a future
00:44:13.390 00:44:13.400 world in which the world either gets its
00:44:15.160 00:44:15.170 act together on the Paris agreement or
00:44:17.200 00:44:17.210 other goals whether they're air
00:44:18.640 00:44:18.650 pollution climate goals or other goals
00:44:20.830 00:44:20.840 the oil demand growth still looks very
00:44:24.010 00:44:24.020 solid even in that clean scenario and
00:44:26.920 00:44:26.930 maybe even more solid in that clean
00:44:29.140 00:44:29.150 scenario compared to transport fuels or
00:44:32.350 00:44:32.360 other kinds of things if you were
00:44:33.670 00:44:33.680 thinking of it thinking of it from that
00:44:35.680 00:44:35.690 perspective that perspective as well
00:44:38.940 00:44:38.950 third thing and this is going to be
00:44:41.170 00:44:41.180 interesting to see is what is the public
00:44:43.450 00:44:43.460 reaction to the various campaigns going
00:44:45.550 00:44:45.560 on right now single-use plastics the
00:44:47.590 00:44:47.600 straws and Starbucks other kinds of
00:44:49.360 00:44:49.370 things as well and certainly if I were
00:44:51.790 00:44:51.800 thinking from oil and a chemical
00:44:54.850 00:44:54.860 producer a plastics producer trying to
00:44:57.460 00:44:57.470 get ahead of that curve trying to figure
00:44:59.740 00:44:59.750 out ways that you could encourage
00:45:03.730 00:45:03.740 recycling reduce single-use because
00:45:06.760 00:45:06.770 there's so many other opportunities out
00:45:08.890 00:45:08.900 there you don't want to have a backlash
00:45:10.750 00:45:10.760 on one part of your business segment
00:45:13.510 00:45:13.520 that frankly isn't as important as other
00:45:16.300 00:45:16.310 parts in some ways if that makes sense
00:45:17.830 00:45:17.840 so there's an incentive here I think to
00:45:20.050 00:45:20.060 be a little bit forward leaning and
00:45:22.450 00:45:22.460 trying to avoid any of that kind of
00:45:24.310 00:45:24.320 backlash from the sustainability side of
00:45:26.710 00:45:26.720 things and I take your point on Alderman
00:45:30.400 00:45:30.410 growing in both instances but RTS
00:45:32.410 00:45:32.420 scenario has less oil demand overall
00:45:34.660 00:45:34.670 than the CTS scenario so what I I find
00:45:37.390 00:45:37.400 interesting is in the
00:45:38.530 00:45:38.540 sort of context to the peak oil demand
00:45:39.850 00:45:39.860 debate right petrochemicals you're right
00:45:41.710 00:45:41.720 is the thing that holds strong but it's
00:45:43.690 00:45:43.700 not like it doesn't incur pressure right
00:45:45.400 00:45:45.410 there's not like there there's sort of
00:45:47.320 00:45:47.330 the same things that are driving all of
00:45:48.940 00:45:48.950 the things you know on peak oil demand
00:45:51.660 00:45:51.670 not effecting petrochemicals so you
00:45:55.270 00:45:55.280 ended on policy I want to get back to
00:45:57.010 00:45:57.020 some of the mechanics in the middle in a
00:45:58.240 00:45:58.250 second before we open it up for
00:45:59.500 00:45:59.510 conversation but when I think about say
00:46:03.070 00:46:03.080 the policy environment for driving
00:46:05.140 00:46:05.150 renewable energy and electricity
00:46:06.940 00:46:06.950 production or for low carbon electricity
00:46:10.540 00:46:10.550 production in those sorts of things I
00:46:11.950 00:46:11.960 can think about how mature that policy
00:46:14.980 00:46:14.990 environment is what I think about
00:46:16.330 00:46:16.340 petrochemicals and sort of the RTS
00:46:18.670 00:46:18.680 portfolio that a scenario started the
00:46:21.970 00:46:21.980 CTS scenario that you put out there and
00:46:23.980 00:46:23.990 then you talked about some of your
00:46:25.690 00:46:25.700 policy recommendations I really don't
00:46:27.130 00:46:27.140 have a sense of how developed that
00:46:29.260 00:46:29.270 policy environment is how I mean is like
00:46:31.870 00:46:31.880 what level of maturity should we think
00:46:33.820 00:46:33.830 about with regard to policy makers
00:46:38.080 00:46:38.090 thinking about sustainability within
00:46:39.730 00:46:39.740 this sector so the short answer in some
00:46:44.770 00:46:44.780 ways and this goes back to why this is a
00:46:46.930 00:46:46.940 blind-spot and one that's
00:46:48.280 00:46:48.290 underappreciated it's underappreciated
00:46:49.810 00:46:49.820 by policy makers as well and it's
00:46:52.360 00:46:52.370 complicated this is not a simple simple
00:46:55.390 00:46:55.400 environment we rarely say there's a
00:46:57.430 00:46:57.440 silver bullet in fact most times when
00:46:59.110 00:46:59.120 you're giving a list of some kind of
00:47:00.280 00:47:00.290 policy recommendations you say there's
00:47:01.690 00:47:01.700 not a silver bullet in this instance
00:47:03.400 00:47:03.410 it's maybe even doubly or triply true
00:47:06.130 00:47:06.140 and it's very complicated markets it's
00:47:08.590 00:47:08.600 different for the different feedstocks
00:47:10.210 00:47:10.220 it's different for the other kinds of
00:47:12.040 00:47:12.050 pieces that feed into it so it's very
00:47:15.550 00:47:15.560 challenging for policy makers I think to
00:47:18.940 00:47:18.950 get their hands around the full equation
00:47:20.860 00:47:20.870 and a lot of times they're probably not
00:47:22.900 00:47:22.910 looking at petrochemicals and let me get
00:47:24.910 00:47:24.920 my hands around that they're looking at
00:47:26.440 00:47:26.450 plastics or they're looking at a part of
00:47:28.690 00:47:28.700 it to be a little bit along those lines
00:47:31.150 00:47:31.160 so there's a lack and this is part of
00:47:33.490 00:47:33.500 one of the reasons we did this report is
00:47:35.110 00:47:35.120 the there is an audience here of
00:47:37.030 00:47:37.040 regulators policymakers market designers
00:47:40.150 00:47:40.160 to say hey maybe you should think or
00:47:42.790 00:47:42.800 look at the lens of the petrochemicals
00:47:44.530 00:47:44.540 industry as a whole thinking through
00:47:47.140 00:47:47.150 these various components components of
00:47:49.750 00:47:49.760 it in that way
00:47:51.370 00:47:51.380 within some of the subcomponents so if
00:47:53.500 00:47:53.510 you look at the 10 the list of 10 there
00:47:55.600 00:47:55.610 are certain parts of the world different
00:47:58.720 00:47:58.730 countries different regions that are a
00:48:00.160 00:48:00.170 little bit further along maybe more
00:48:02.350 00:48:02.360 aggressive European Union on plastics
00:48:04.900 00:48:04.910 recycling being a little bit more
00:48:06.490 00:48:06.500 forward leaning a little bit more
00:48:08.130 00:48:08.140 further along and thinking through those
00:48:10.480 00:48:10.490 kinds of kinds of equations but overall
00:48:13.620 00:48:13.630 there's a lot and they put it this way
00:48:15.820 00:48:15.830 there's a lot of growth opportunity
00:48:17.590 00:48:17.600 there's a lot of improvement for further
00:48:20.220 00:48:20.230 thoughtful policymaking in this space to
00:48:23.680 00:48:23.690 kind of technical questions and then I
00:48:25.300 00:48:25.310 want to at your colleagues here ask you
00:48:27.610 00:48:27.620 some of their own questions you said
00:48:30.220 00:48:30.230 that the CTS scenario is broadly made up
00:48:32.950 00:48:32.960 of existing technologies that are
00:48:34.390 00:48:34.400 cost-effective but they do require
00:48:35.860 00:48:35.870 policy design but a third of that came
00:48:39.190 00:48:39.200 from CC us
00:48:53.010 00:48:53.020 this is when you're like regret
00:48:55.000 00:48:55.010 animating your slides and so I guess my
00:49:02.500 00:49:02.510 assumption was that I don't know as much
00:49:05.350 00:49:05.360 on the carbon capture utilization break
00:49:07.750 00:49:07.760 out of that number but on the CCS I'd
00:49:09.820 00:49:09.830 CCS and petrochemicals it's hard to
00:49:12.370 00:49:12.380 argue absent a carbon price that that
00:49:14.170 00:49:14.180 would be cost-effective so so is that
00:49:17.050 00:49:17.060 the policy design that you're talking
00:49:19.180 00:49:19.190 about so perhaps even more straight
00:49:22.060 00:49:22.070 striking on that instance so it really
00:49:24.730 00:49:24.740 is it's the storage piece and the
00:49:26.650 00:49:26.660 storage piece won't happen unless you
00:49:29.050 00:49:29.060 have some kind of incentive structure
00:49:31.720 00:49:31.730 could be a price per say
00:49:34.210 00:49:34.220 certainly incentive structures like 45 Q
00:49:36.850 00:49:36.860 here in the US there's other ways to
00:49:39.100 00:49:39.110 incent and encourage those kinds of
00:49:41.470 00:49:41.480 pieces but left to itself without that
00:49:45.820 00:49:45.830 kind of signal you'll just get the light
00:49:48.610 00:49:48.620 blue maybe a little bit but you won't
00:49:50.980 00:49:50.990 get significant amounts of it it really
00:49:53.170 00:49:53.180 requires policy to drive and take
00:49:55.270 00:49:55.280 advantage of that 35% again this is a
00:49:58.120 00:49:58.130 cost optimized model so what what we
00:50:00.850 00:50:00.860 show is if you want to do this as
00:50:03.280 00:50:03.290 cost-effectively as you can here's how
00:50:05.290 00:50:05.300 you get 35% of that but it will require
00:50:07.510 00:50:07.520 actually paying something to to actually
00:50:10.270 00:50:10.280 generate okay and then so my last
00:50:12.010 00:50:12.020 question technical question on this CTS
00:50:13.960 00:50:13.970 scenario is you have savings that come
00:50:17.200 00:50:17.210 from recycling that are generally based
00:50:20.530 00:50:20.540 on the feedstock right so is there a
00:50:23.680 00:50:23.690 loss on the energy side of the equation
00:50:26.080 00:50:26.090 for recycling what like what are the
00:50:27.550 00:50:27.560 energy inputs into reuse and are those
00:50:30.910 00:50:30.920 taken into account when you're doing
00:50:32.890 00:50:32.900 these scenarios so yes and I'm not sure
00:50:39.280 00:50:39.290 they must not be terribly sick well
00:50:41.800 00:50:41.810 that's what I was just thinking and I'd
00:50:43.240 00:50:43.250 have to ask are I should have mentioned
00:50:46.090 00:50:46.100 this at the outset so the two colleagues
00:50:47.740 00:50:47.750 who spent the most time on this some of
00:50:50.290 00:50:50.300 you may know araceli fernandez who's the
00:50:53.230 00:50:53.240 head of our industry group at the I a
00:50:55.270 00:50:55.280 terrific colleague and then the other
00:50:57.400 00:50:57.410 colleague Peter Levi the two of them
00:51:00.250 00:51:00.260 were the heart and soul of this report
00:51:02.290 00:51:02.300 others of us go and speak about the
00:51:03.940 00:51:03.950 report
00:51:04.660 00:51:04.670 they don't yeah they did all the
00:51:07.059 00:51:07.069 terrific analysis and really did a
00:51:08.920 00:51:08.930 phenomenal job on this one of the very
00:51:10.750 00:51:10.760 complicated subject matter so I'm not
00:51:13.720 00:51:13.730 sure where it feeds into it but it I
00:51:15.609 00:51:15.619 think your assumptions right it's not
00:51:17.200 00:51:17.210 that significant certainly compared to
00:51:19.690 00:51:19.700 the avoided production okay great all
00:51:23.349 00:51:23.359 right well I'm gonna open up for
00:51:25.510 00:51:25.520 questions please wait for the microphone
00:51:27.010 00:51:27.020 to state your name and affiliation
00:51:28.150 00:51:28.160 question in the form of a question and
00:51:30.339 00:51:30.349 we'll get as many of you in as possible
00:51:32.559 00:51:32.569 we'll start with yan and then we're just
00:51:34.089 00:51:34.099 gonna go right down the line here all
00:51:37.390 00:51:37.400 right i'm i'm yan mayors and resources
00:51:39.760 00:51:39.770 for the future is there a reason that
00:51:43.180 00:51:43.190 you all don't specifically talk about a
00:51:45.579 00:51:45.589 price in carbon and maybe you've got a
00:51:47.829 00:51:47.839 policy that you can't recommend it
00:51:50.440 00:51:50.450 because that's the clear elephant in the
00:51:53.530 00:51:53.540 room and in fact that's why the
00:51:55.030 00:51:55.040 petrochemical industry and the chemical
00:51:56.859 00:51:56.869 industry have expanded over 50 years
00:51:58.809 00:51:58.819 they looked at all products but with
00:52:01.510 00:52:01.520 such they might compete and the prices
00:52:04.059 00:52:04.069 thereof and figure out how to make a
00:52:05.470 00:52:05.480 comparative product cheaper so a price
00:52:09.700 00:52:09.710 on carbon would make an enormous
00:52:11.230 00:52:11.240 difference for this industry and they
00:52:13.299 00:52:13.309 can solve the problem
00:52:15.490 00:52:15.500 [Music]
00:52:25.109 00:52:25.119 this actually might work together with
00:52:27.789 00:52:27.799 it sir okay a reduction with the United
00:52:30.789 00:52:30.799 Nations Foundation
00:52:33.039 00:52:33.049 I think this feeds into what Iran was
00:52:35.319 00:52:35.329 asking RIF for a little bit for me Dave
00:52:39.039 00:52:39.049 on the future of plastics in particular
00:52:42.670 00:52:42.680 in a highly carbon constrained
00:52:45.430 00:52:45.440 environment very high carbon price
00:52:49.500 00:52:49.510 aiming at a you know 80 or 100 percent
00:52:52.990 00:52:53.000 reduction in carbon across the economy
00:52:55.180 00:52:55.190 in 2050 one thing that occurs to me is
00:53:00.039 00:53:00.049 you have to obviously consider the
00:53:02.020 00:53:02.030 lifecycle profile of the alternatives so
00:53:05.170 00:53:05.180 we've all seen the paper versus plastic
00:53:07.450 00:53:07.460 debates and often plastic works out
00:53:10.809 00:53:10.819 better on a life on a lifecycle analysis
00:53:14.700 00:53:14.710 and add into that the the virtue or lack
00:53:21.309 00:53:21.319 thereof of biodegradable plastics and
00:53:24.210 00:53:24.220 think how to think about plastics the
00:53:27.099 00:53:27.109 way people are starting to think about
00:53:28.920 00:53:28.930 lumber in long-lived uses like building
00:53:33.730 00:53:33.740 materials and what kind of plastics fit
00:53:36.430 00:53:36.440 that how big a share of the market that
00:53:38.170 00:53:38.180 is so in a highly carbon constrained
00:53:42.039 00:53:42.049 environment what happens to plastics
00:53:43.870 00:53:43.880 generally so so excellent questions
00:53:50.620 00:53:50.630 yonder answer your questions so number
00:53:53.620 00:53:53.630 three there pursue effective efforts to
00:53:55.690 00:53:55.700 reduce co2 emissions certainly if you're
00:53:57.579 00:53:57.589 looking at it from an economists
00:53:58.809 00:53:58.819 perspective it's the carbon tax or some
00:54:02.260 00:54:02.270 kind of trading mechanism or other kinds
00:54:03.819 00:54:03.829 of things so that is built into the
00:54:07.329 00:54:07.339 assumptions when we drive the models
00:54:09.010 00:54:09.020 under the CTS is looking at some kind of
00:54:11.859 00:54:11.869 carbon
00:54:15.280 00:54:15.290 do you mean oh you're just asking
00:54:17.270 00:54:17.280 whether he can specify what policy no I
00:54:22.640 00:54:22.650 don't think no I mean we at the IEA try
00:54:26.150 00:54:26.160 to call it like we see it it's not for
00:54:28.070 00:54:28.080 us to dictate what countries should do
00:54:29.720 00:54:29.730 there's political constraints all those
00:54:31.160 00:54:31.170 kinds of things but that's why we you
00:54:34.310 00:54:34.320 know with recommendation number three
00:54:37.070 00:54:37.080 along those lines I think we're pretty
00:54:38.600 00:54:38.610 clear and our other modeling assumptions
00:54:40.460 00:54:40.470 whether it's the the weo sustainable
00:54:42.500 00:54:42.510 development scenario the carbon price
00:54:44.690 00:54:44.700 that's embedded within that to drive
00:54:46.640 00:54:46.650 those kinds of changes to reach those
00:54:48.770 00:54:48.780 objectives whether they're Paris
00:54:50.060 00:54:50.070 agreement objectives or otherwise so I
00:54:52.730 00:54:52.740 think where we try to be pretty
00:54:54.770 00:54:54.780 straightforward about those kinds of
00:54:56.060 00:54:56.070 things and again as we were talking
00:54:57.770 00:54:57.780 about you don't get from the reference
00:55:00.440 00:55:00.450 case to the CTS the clean technology
00:55:03.350 00:55:03.360 scenario in this instance or similarly
00:55:04.880 00:55:04.890 with other bits of our analysis unless
00:55:06.710 00:55:06.720 you have mechanisms that drive that
00:55:09.530 00:55:09.540 drive that the carbon tax of course
00:55:11.540 00:55:11.550 being being one of them so read to your
00:55:15.590 00:55:15.600 question what do plastics look like in a
00:55:17.930 00:55:17.940 carbon constrained environment in many
00:55:20.750 00:55:20.760 ways that's the CTS so the CTS is a very
00:55:23.600 00:55:23.610 carbon constrained environment so the
00:55:25.520 00:55:25.530 CTS is very much in line with and built
00:55:28.490 00:55:28.500 off of our we owe sustainable
00:55:30.950 00:55:30.960 development scenario so that's our Paris
00:55:33.830 00:55:33.840 compliant well below 2 scenario that
00:55:36.740 00:55:36.750 achieves the Paris agreement objectives
00:55:38.420 00:55:38.430 it also reduces air pollution and brings
00:55:41.300 00:55:41.310 energy access as well it's a more
00:55:42.710 00:55:42.720 integrated look at what's going forward
00:55:45.220 00:55:45.230 but that is a very near-term peak on
00:55:49.940 00:55:49.950 global co2 emissions from the energy
00:55:51.740 00:55:51.750 sector and then a very significant
00:55:53.060 00:55:53.070 reduction thereafter so the cts numbers
00:55:56.840 00:55:56.850 really show certainly compared to
00:56:00.410 00:56:00.420 transport compared to a lot of other
00:56:02.000 00:56:02.010 areas Plastics ends up doing better if
00:56:06.140 00:56:06.150 you will than a lot of other areas in
00:56:09.080 00:56:09.090 part because of their flexibility and
00:56:12.170 00:56:12.180 utility including for a lot of clean
00:56:14.890 00:56:14.900 technology applications or technologies
00:56:18.860 00:56:18.870 into the future so solar PV obviously
00:56:21.650 00:56:21.660 has a lot of silicon it has a number of
00:56:23.150 00:56:23.160 other things built into it but plastics
00:56:26.090 00:56:26.100 are one of the
00:56:27.269 00:56:27.279 components for a lot of the light
00:56:29.339 00:56:29.349 weighting of vehicles plastics light
00:56:31.259 00:56:31.269 weighting of other kinds of things along
00:56:33.299 00:56:33.309 those lines so the future in a
00:56:37.199 00:56:37.209 carbon-constrained world it's less
00:56:39.299 00:56:39.309 overall amounts of plastics or
00:56:41.729 00:56:41.739 feedstocks as we were just talking about
00:56:43.319 00:56:43.329 but it's significantly higher and even a
00:56:45.959 00:56:45.969 higher percentage that 26% compared to
00:56:48.179 00:56:48.189 that 18% it's a higher percentage of
00:56:51.089 00:56:51.099 overall oil demand coming from that area
00:56:53.849 00:56:53.859 in a carbon-constrained environment now
00:56:58.309 00:56:58.319 our companies are policy makers our R&D
00:57:01.620 00:57:01.630 folks fully looking at the range of ways
00:57:05.309 00:57:05.319 to get the most out of the plastics as
00:57:08.519 00:57:08.529 feedstocks and the energy in order to
00:57:11.209 00:57:11.219 take advantage no that's part of the
00:57:13.559 00:57:13.569 reasons we put out this report was to
00:57:15.089 00:57:15.099 encourage some of that R&D and other
00:57:16.469 00:57:16.479 kinds of analysis I think your point on
00:57:19.380 00:57:19.390 lifecycle analysis is exactly right and
00:57:21.630 00:57:21.640 what we should be thinking about whether
00:57:23.069 00:57:23.079 it's plastics or wood or other kinds of
00:57:25.019 00:57:25.029 00:57:25.319 00:57:25.329 what is the emissions profile how how
00:57:29.159 00:57:29.169 many years do those carbon molecules get
00:57:33.419 00:57:33.429 locked up in plastics for different
00:57:35.819 00:57:35.829 products when do those get released over
00:57:37.799 00:57:37.809 a period of time or some stored and in
00:57:40.829 00:57:40.839 terms of longer and comparing that to
00:57:42.209 00:57:42.219 different other products other products
00:57:45.029 00:57:45.039 out there on those lines but given
00:57:47.429 00:57:47.439 plastics versatility given its
00:57:49.169 00:57:49.179 importance for a lot of these clean
00:57:50.399 00:57:50.409 energy technologies it seems like it
00:57:53.309 00:57:53.319 will play a significant and maybe even
00:57:56.519 00:57:56.529 an enhanced role percentage terms in a
00:57:58.890 00:57:58.900 carbon constrained world my name is
00:58:07.079 00:58:07.089 Warren VHF scan from the Energy
00:58:08.699 00:58:08.709 Information Administration and actually
00:58:10.799 00:58:10.809 I'll just note a particular absence of
00:58:14.069 00:58:14.079 do ii and ii IA references in your
00:58:15.809 00:58:15.819 report and i note that because i'm not
00:58:19.499 00:58:19.509 sure if you're aware but at eiu a we've
00:58:21.839 00:58:21.849 embarked on this what we call
00:58:23.729 00:58:23.739 hydrocarbon gas liquids effort and that
00:58:26.159 00:58:26.169 started up in 2012 because we had
00:58:29.069 00:58:29.079 already recognized that there was a
00:58:30.390 00:58:30.400 blind spot in the way that energy is
00:58:34.709 00:58:34.719 looked at in the absence of the
00:58:37.319 00:58:37.329 petrochemical industry so so you know
00:58:39.809 00:58:39.819 under hydrocarbon gas liquid
00:58:41.009 00:58:41.019 we're looking at both the natural gas
00:58:42.239 00:58:42.249 liquid so you know ethane propane
00:58:43.579 00:58:43.589 butanes natural gasoline and then we're
00:58:46.169 00:58:46.179 also looking at the ethylene propylene
00:58:48.659 00:58:48.669 butylenes so we've attempted to tabulate
00:58:52.439 00:58:52.449 these numbers in a very particular
00:58:54.979 00:58:54.989 methodology the methodology way
00:58:58.349 00:58:58.359 precisely because right well we are the
00:59:01.019 00:59:01.029 Energy Information Administration we
00:59:02.609 00:59:02.619 recognize that a significant quantity of
00:59:05.009 00:59:05.019 these materials goes right into the
00:59:06.419 00:59:06.429 petrochemical industry so my question is
00:59:10.049 00:59:10.059 you know you've built up a tremendous
00:59:13.019 00:59:13.029 model right a great analytical framework
00:59:15.599 00:59:15.609 for looking at the petrochemical
00:59:16.769 00:59:16.779 industry but without really getting a
00:59:21.539 00:59:21.549 good handle on the underlying data I
00:59:24.289 00:59:24.299 don't think that it's possible to
00:59:26.249 00:59:26.259 actually make the kinds of outlooks that
00:59:31.319 00:59:31.329 that you're attempting to to produce
00:59:34.729 00:59:34.739 right so how is IEA going to tackle the
00:59:39.509 00:59:39.519 data blind-spot
00:59:40.609 00:59:40.619 because without the good data right you
00:59:42.959 00:59:42.969 really can't good can't create good
00:59:45.059 00:59:45.069 analysis is EA's a global hgl databases
00:59:49.019 00:59:49.029 are just for the United States so on a
00:59:51.539 00:59:51.549 global basis a lot of our data comes
00:59:53.999 00:59:54.009 from IEA and you know I'm sorry not to
00:59:56.789 00:59:56.799 you know poopoo your efforts but we have
00:59:59.399 00:59:59.409 found I ate to be sorely lacking but
01:00:01.739 01:00:01.749 what's yours so what we do is we take a
01:00:04.620 01:00:04.630 data and for a number of countries we
01:00:08.069 01:00:08.079 actually modify the numbers that we get
01:00:09.779 01:00:09.789 from IAEA so that we can get something
01:00:11.399 01:00:11.409 that's a little bit more reasonable in
01:00:14.249 01:00:14.259 terms of what we would expect to be okay
01:00:15.779 01:00:15.789 yeah is like organically generated data
01:00:20.839 01:00:20.849 shown in jails is it just for the United
01:00:23.429 01:00:23.439 States because I know you guys have had
01:00:24.629 01:00:24.639 a big push on that for a while yeah so
01:00:26.309 01:00:26.319 we have we have international data right
01:00:28.739 01:00:28.749 and we publish that and what right now
01:00:30.329 01:00:30.339 what we have is we have ethane and we
01:00:32.519 01:00:32.529 have LPG right we're not able to get a
01:00:35.189 01:00:35.199 good handle on what's coming out of the
01:00:37.759 01:00:37.769 refineries in terms of ethylene or
01:00:39.719 01:00:39.729 propylene outside of the United States
01:00:41.249 01:00:41.259 and as a result we try to kind of steer
01:00:45.719 01:00:45.729 away from that so that's probably going
01:00:47.009 01:00:47.019 to be into our other oils category but
01:00:49.829 01:00:49.839 when we do our modeling
01:00:51.790 01:00:51.800 we take the data that we have corrected
01:00:53.800 01:00:53.810 and then we apply better analyst
01:00:57.010 01:00:57.020 knowledge and then we create forecasts
01:00:59.800 01:00:59.810 for the international demand and one of
01:01:01.870 01:01:01.880 the things that we work on aside from
01:01:04.030 01:01:04.040 just the consumption of feedstocks is we
01:01:06.280 01:01:06.290 actually try to estimate how much carbon
01:01:08.500 01:01:08.510 is you know quote-unquote sequestered in
01:01:11.140 01:01:11.150 plastics because as you had mentioned
01:01:13.089 01:01:13.099 right the carbon intensity of the
01:01:15.160 01:01:15.170 petrochemical industry is lower than it
01:01:17.770 01:01:17.780 is for example for for steel precisely
01:01:20.170 01:01:20.180 because a lot of that feedstock ends up
01:01:22.660 01:01:22.670 as part of the output right so that's
01:01:25.030 01:01:25.040 you know sequestered in you know you
01:01:27.220 01:01:27.230 know in lingo I guess I'm the OE in
01:01:29.290 01:01:29.300 general so it sounds like both AIA and
01:01:32.079 01:01:32.089 IEA have at least assertion that both
01:01:35.290 01:01:35.300 have problems getting good data on the
01:01:38.320 01:01:38.330 petrochemical side so what is that we've
01:01:41.680 01:01:41.690 you know this has been a good energy
01:01:43.450 01:01:43.460 data for the history of IEA and EAS have
01:01:46.329 01:01:46.339 been along a long tail is there other
01:01:48.339 01:01:48.349 efforts to try and collect more that
01:01:50.710 01:01:50.720 other more granular level so a few
01:01:54.280 01:01:54.290 thoughts first as a do e alumni
01:01:56.910 01:01:56.920 certainly very strong appreciation of
01:01:59.349 01:01:59.359 our aia colleagues all the phenomenal
01:02:02.829 01:02:02.839 work that you all do not only with us
01:02:05.290 01:02:05.300 data of course but global data as well
01:02:07.810 01:02:07.820 and I think there's been a very
01:02:09.490 01:02:09.500 long-standing partnership between IEA
01:02:11.440 01:02:11.450 and EIA as there should be to try to
01:02:14.620 01:02:14.630 make sure that we all have the best data
01:02:17.490 01:02:17.500 secondly certainly as you know and I
01:02:19.780 01:02:19.790 think everybody appreciates but maybe
01:02:22.270 01:02:22.280 says it but doesn't always fully
01:02:24.190 01:02:24.200 internalize it appreciate it everything
01:02:26.589 01:02:26.599 depends on the data right like if you
01:02:28.180 01:02:28.190 start off with bad numbers your analysis
01:02:30.430 01:02:30.440 is only gonna be flawed so it's the
01:02:33.339 01:02:33.349 foundation that starts on everything and
01:02:35.230 01:02:35.240 it's why we spend a lot of time from the
01:02:36.820 01:02:36.830 IEA side of things third there aren't
01:02:41.500 01:02:41.510 great data for some of these pieces out
01:02:43.180 01:02:43.190 there right now and will need to be
01:02:45.400 01:02:45.410 continually improved in terms of of what
01:02:49.870 01:02:49.880 we get not only from our member
01:02:51.130 01:02:51.140 countries the u.s. of course being a
01:02:52.780 01:02:52.790 founding member and key member country
01:02:54.609 01:02:54.619 for the IEA but increasingly for us
01:02:58.230 01:02:58.240 working as I showed you on the map at
01:03:00.370 01:03:00.380 the very front end with the China's and
01:03:02.020 01:03:02.030 India's the other major emerging
01:03:03.370 01:03:03.380 economies the other major sources of
01:03:05.530 01:03:05.540 different energy use production etc to
01:03:07.900 01:03:07.910 get better and better data so that we
01:03:10.570 01:03:10.580 all can have the best global data we
01:03:13.060 01:03:13.070 possibly can
01:03:14.080 01:03:14.090 and I think on the petrochemical space
01:03:15.609 01:03:15.619 along with a number of other areas we
01:03:18.040 01:03:18.050 need to keep working on those efforts so
01:03:20.290 01:03:20.300 I know our chief statistician Duncan
01:03:23.200 01:03:23.210 Maillard was out not too long ago
01:03:24.520 01:03:24.530 meeting with you all and will look to
01:03:26.859 01:03:26.869 continue continue improving that but
01:03:29.080 01:03:29.090 there's I guess the way I think about it
01:03:31.330 01:03:31.340 is try to get the best data you can try
01:03:35.320 01:03:35.330 to always improve that data but
01:03:38.040 01:03:38.050 certainly for us with petrochemicals or
01:03:40.630 01:03:40.640 elsewhere you can't wait for the perfect
01:03:43.660 01:03:43.670 data to do any analysis you know what I
01:03:45.430 01:03:45.440 mean you've got to keep working on
01:03:46.480 01:03:46.490 improving your data while you try to do
01:03:48.010 01:03:48.020 analysis with the data that you have
01:03:49.300 01:03:49.310 with the caveats associated with it and
01:03:51.580 01:03:51.590 continuing to improve it so that's
01:03:52.990 01:03:53.000 that's what we're at is trying to
01:03:54.340 01:03:54.350 continue to improve it other questions
01:03:57.340 01:03:57.350 okay Paula and then here and they will
01:04:01.090 01:04:01.100 go back three thanks Sarah and Dave I'll
01:04:04.390 01:04:04.400 echo echo Sarah's rave reviews for the
01:04:07.690 01:04:07.700 blind-spot series I think it's really
01:04:09.010 01:04:09.020 important and done in a way only that
01:04:10.540 01:04:10.550 only IEA can do I'd like to ask you to
01:04:15.310 01:04:15.320 talk a little bit more about the
01:04:17.440 01:04:17.450 existing technologies that are embedded
01:04:19.359 01:04:19.369 in the CTS that are that are envisioned
01:04:22.480 01:04:22.490 to be deployed but also I know y'all are
01:04:24.970 01:04:24.980 doing parallel work on digitization and
01:04:26.740 01:04:26.750 other clean tech investments what are
01:04:29.890 01:04:29.900 some sparkly things in the in your sort
01:04:31.660 01:04:31.670 of field of vision that you think could
01:04:33.280 01:04:33.290 also intersect to enable the CTS an area
01:04:36.220 01:04:36.230 that y'all set out right here
01:04:42.410 01:04:42.420 at Amasia Oxford University and also
01:04:46.670 01:04:46.680 government advisor in the Gulf
01:04:48.570 01:04:48.580 particularly a slight a question of a
01:04:50.760 01:04:50.770 slightly more short-term horizon of
01:04:53.670 01:04:53.680 interest into your thoughts on how some
01:04:55.980 01:04:55.990 of the large industrial conglomerates
01:04:57.359 01:04:57.369 the SAVAK settle how they are sort of
01:05:01.080 01:05:01.090 managing the sort of an energy pricing
01:05:03.030 01:05:03.040 reform situation and how it's affected
01:05:05.220 01:05:05.230 our competitiveness particularly in a
01:05:06.900 01:05:06.910 Mina thank you keeping in mind the
01:05:10.050 01:05:10.060 acquisition that's coming up coming in
01:05:16.730 01:05:16.740 reduction again in your clean technology
01:05:20.430 01:05:20.440 scenario it seemed like you had a
01:05:21.780 01:05:21.790 relatively small role for biomass and
01:05:24.810 01:05:24.820 I'm wondering about the high carbon
01:05:28.260 01:05:28.270 price scenario wouldn't it be true that
01:05:31.040 01:05:31.050 bio-based plastics that are then put
01:05:36.630 01:05:36.640 into permanent kind of plastic products
01:05:38.970 01:05:38.980 would in effect be a negative emission
01:05:41.070 01:05:41.080 strategy all right so let's take take
01:05:48.960 01:05:48.970 all of those first quality your question
01:05:51.900 01:05:51.910 on on the technologies side of things
01:05:54.480 01:05:54.490 especially a digitalization so when we
01:05:57.120 01:05:57.130 do our modeling assumptions and similar
01:05:59.940 01:05:59.950 to this and the CTS although comparable
01:06:03.240 01:06:03.250 to other our huios sustainable
01:06:06.570 01:06:06.580 development scenario or 2° scenarios etc
01:06:09.500 01:06:09.510 we don't try to include some kind of
01:06:12.450 01:06:12.460 crazy breakthrough that may or may not
01:06:14.160 01:06:14.170 happen very difficult for those who are
01:06:16.770 01:06:16.780 modelers to try to incorporate that kind
01:06:19.770 01:06:19.780 of kind of thing so I think any modeling
01:06:21.900 01:06:21.910 exercise has a bit of a caveat and that
01:06:24.839 01:06:24.849 you could if you do the right
01:06:26.579 01:06:26.589 investments RPE other kinds of things
01:06:28.589 01:06:28.599 along those lines you could get some
01:06:30.120 01:06:30.130 real breakthroughs that mix things up
01:06:31.650 01:06:31.660 disrupt things and quite significant
01:06:34.079 01:06:34.089 kinds of ways that are very difficult to
01:06:36.780 01:06:36.790 capture in a modeling exercise so what
01:06:39.930 01:06:39.940 we what we capture in this scenario is
01:06:42.290 01:06:42.300 existing technology some cost reductions
01:06:45.030 01:06:45.040 right the worlds not static but not any
01:06:47.640 01:06:47.650 kind of significant breakthroughs that
01:06:49.980 01:06:49.990 may or may not may or may not happen
01:06:52.110 01:06:52.120 going forward one of the most
01:06:54.660 01:06:54.670 interesting parts of that and you
01:06:55.980 01:06:55.990 referenced this is on the digitalization
01:06:57.870 01:06:57.880 front what do the various ICT
01:06:59.880 01:06:59.890 technologies bring to the equation
01:07:02.100 01:07:02.110 including in this petrochemical space
01:07:03.780 01:07:03.790 but more broadly into the energy space
01:07:06.120 01:07:06.130 more generally so we did a big effort a
01:07:09.630 01:07:09.640 year ago trying to work with analysts
01:07:11.940 01:07:11.950 across the eye a on a digitalization and
01:07:13.830 01:07:13.840 energy overview I'm really trying to
01:07:16.950 01:07:16.960 figure out where are the gains happening
01:07:18.870 01:07:18.880 where they're interesting things already
01:07:20.250 01:07:20.260 happening in digitalization and energy
01:07:21.870 01:07:21.880 on efficiency predictive maintenance
01:07:23.730 01:07:23.740 artificial intelligence etc and then
01:07:26.280 01:07:26.290 where does the future go and having
01:07:29.700 01:07:29.710 spent a lot of time on that helping to
01:07:31.650 01:07:31.660 co-lead that effort with a colleague of
01:07:33.630 01:07:33.640 mine Laura Cote from the weo team it's
01:07:36.390 01:07:36.400 very very difficult to discern where
01:07:39.750 01:07:39.760 things are headed on that digitalization
01:07:41.370 01:07:41.380 and energy space beyond the next few
01:07:43.140 01:07:43.150 year period of time or five year period
01:07:45.150 01:07:45.160 of time there's a lot of ways the
01:07:47.520 01:07:47.530 technology intersects with human
01:07:50.190 01:07:50.200 behavior and sosial what incentive
01:07:53.760 01:07:53.770 structures you have could be huge
01:07:55.170 01:07:55.180 rebound effects for autonomous vehicles
01:07:57.000 01:07:57.010 or other kinds of things that you might
01:07:58.320 01:07:58.330 think would have an otherwise positive
01:08:00.980 01:08:00.990 reduction in energy consumption along
01:08:03.510 01:08:03.520 those lines so I think this is a
01:08:05.220 01:08:05.230 fascinating area to explore further
01:08:07.400 01:08:07.410 including in the in the petrochemical
01:08:10.380 01:08:10.390 space which I think the petrochemicals
01:08:12.420 01:08:12.430 and digitalization and what does that
01:08:13.740 01:08:13.750 mean in terms of different opportunities
01:08:16.170 01:08:16.180 going forward it sorted to your to your
01:08:19.560 01:08:19.570 question read earlier and your current
01:08:22.140 01:08:22.150 question I think there's an interesting
01:08:23.310 01:08:23.320 bit of analysis on that front to your
01:08:26.280 01:08:26.290 broader question on negative emissions
01:08:27.900 01:08:27.910 are there some smart ways to not only
01:08:29.550 01:08:29.560 think about reducing the co2 footprint
01:08:31.590 01:08:31.600 but really driving in absolutely so one
01:08:35.070 01:08:35.080 thing I referenced was on bioenergy more
01:08:37.050 01:08:37.060 generally we had that be the major focus
01:08:38.760 01:08:38.770 of our renewables report that comes out
01:08:41.070 01:08:41.080 an annual basis really trying to figure
01:08:44.430 01:08:44.440 out a variety of really interesting
01:08:46.320 01:08:46.330 opportunities again thinking of what an
01:08:48.540 01:08:48.550 a lifecycle basis when you look at
01:08:50.790 01:08:50.800 bioenergy more generally biomass you
01:08:52.770 01:08:52.780 need to figure out the sustainability
01:08:54.330 01:08:54.340 part of it do you have enough land do
01:08:56.340 01:08:56.350 you have enough of the resources of
01:08:57.660 01:08:57.670 fertilizers other kinds of things to
01:08:59.580 01:08:59.590 really drive those pieces but strikes me
01:09:02.520 01:09:02.530 that's a really interesting follow-on
01:09:04.110 01:09:04.120 piece here we didn't get into that
01:09:05.820 01:09:05.830 as much as we would have liked to
01:09:06.930 01:09:06.940 certainly in this report but to really
01:09:09.030 01:09:09.040 think about bio-based plastics other
01:09:11.490 01:09:11.500 kinds of mechanisms not only reducing
01:09:13.890 01:09:13.900 the foot button but potentially even
01:09:15.480 01:09:15.490 being a net-net sink if you will on the
01:09:18.960 01:09:18.970 on the co2 side of things and then
01:09:21.980 01:09:21.990 finally just on the energy pricing
01:09:24.690 01:09:24.700 reform so it's a dynamic environment
01:09:26.340 01:09:26.350 more generally right now of course on
01:09:28.710 01:09:28.720 the oil side you've got high oil prices
01:09:30.860 01:09:30.870 which is a significant part my boss
01:09:34.079 01:09:34.089 Fatih Birol was just in London speaking
01:09:36.960 01:09:36.970 about this and speaking about how we're
01:09:38.820 01:09:38.830 in a a red zone in the q4 time period
01:09:42.720 01:09:42.730 where unless we have some additional
01:09:43.860 01:09:43.870 production coming online that's throwing
01:09:46.770 01:09:46.780 a variety of incentive structures and
01:09:49.650 01:09:49.660 very challenging places around the world
01:09:52.020 01:09:52.030 it's putting some of the progress we've
01:09:55.050 01:09:55.060 seen on reducing inefficient and fossil
01:09:56.880 01:09:56.890 fuel subsidies putting some real
01:09:58.560 01:09:58.570 pressure on that from a domestic
01:10:00.290 01:10:00.300 perspective from a producer economy side
01:10:03.180 01:10:03.190 of things
01:10:03.840 01:10:03.850 one special report it's actually going
01:10:07.170 01:10:07.180 to be a standalone
01:10:07.950 01:10:07.960 report that my Weil colleagues are
01:10:09.810 01:10:09.820 working on right now is looking at
01:10:11.070 01:10:11.080 producer economies in particular and
01:10:13.770 01:10:13.780 looking at a variety of scenarios going
01:10:15.660 01:10:15.670 forward about how to diversify how to
01:10:18.690 01:10:18.700 make sure that they don't get caught in
01:10:20.280 01:10:20.290 some of the volatility it's a really
01:10:22.230 01:10:22.240 interesting piece of analysis will come
01:10:23.760 01:10:23.770 out in November and hopefully be helpful
01:10:26.510 01:10:26.520 to help the producer economies think
01:10:29.670 01:10:29.680 through their strategies going forward
01:10:32.870 01:10:32.880 well we thank you very much Dave for
01:10:35.190 01:10:35.200 coming and presenting the future of
01:10:36.870 01:10:36.880 petrochemicals report I'm sure everyone
01:10:38.970 01:10:38.980 should download it and take a look it's
01:10:40.500 01:10:40.510 got a lot of really good information in
01:10:42.300 01:10:42.310 it but as we've talked about today I
01:10:44.340 01:10:44.350 think it's really one of those areas
01:10:45.570 01:10:45.580 where a lot more work can be done so we
01:10:47.760 01:10:47.770 look forward to that as well
01:10:48.900 01:10:48.910 would you please join me in thanking
01:10:49.980 01:10:49.990 Dave for being with us today
