Making a Low Carbon Economy Happen

Ben Irons, McKinsey and Company Using low carbon abatement cost curves provides insights into what will be requirement for a low carbon economy, with a global abatement cost curve for 2030 shown. In addition to the significant opportunities across all sectors for energy efficiency, a low carbon economy will also require a low carbon power sector. In terms of investment, it is estimated that incremental investment of over €300b per year through 2015 is needed, but only a third of that investment requirement is currently attractive to investors. Energy policy will play a key role in attracting the necessary private investment.

Exploring the Rationales for Relaxations in the UK Petroleum Fiscal Regime 1980-2000

Dr Hafez Abdo, Nottingham Trent University. The UK petroleum fiscal regime was established in 1975 and tightened up with a number of different new taxes up until 1981. The period 1983-2000 witnessed three petroleum tax relaxations. These took place in 1983, 1987-88, and 1993, and presented a clear change in the type of UK governance of its petroleum resources from a proprietorial to a non-proprietorial regime. This paper will explore and test the historical rationales for the three UK petroleum tax relaxations. The investigation of these rationales is based on three viewpoints: that of the Government, the UK oil industry, and academics. The tests of the rationales will measure the success of the Government petroleum policy which was based on using tax relaxations to stimulate oil and gas investments. This paper will be set in the context of the two broad alternatives (proprietorial and non-proprietorial) because the UK has, over time, come to use its fiscal regime more and more as a tool of intervention. This became particularly apparent from the 1980s onwards after the initial period of fiscal tightening which Read more…

The Geopolitics of Energy Insecurity: the Challenge of Arctic Hydrocarbons for UK Policy

Dr Richard Powell, University of Liverpool. This paper explores the interrelations of climatic changes and energy security through the shifting geopolitics of the Circumpolar Arctic. In doing so, the paper considers how Arctic hydrocarbons should be managed to meet UK policy goals of energy security and a low carbon economy. Given rapid climatic changes in the Arctic, the natural resources of the region are now being positioned as the ‘last energy frontier’. At the same time, images of these environmental changes have circulated across numerous international media outlets, thus bringing the Arctic to the widespread attention of global publics. This paper provides a geopolitical examination of these issues. According to the Arctic Council’s ‘Arctic Oil and Gas 2007′ assessment, published in Tromsö, Norway in January 2008, the Arctic region contains over 5% of known global oil reserves and over 20% of known global reserves of natural gas (AMAP, 2008). Most of these known reserves are in the Russian Arctic (AMAP, 2008). More importantly, the USGS (2000) estimates that the Arctic contains 25% of global undiscovered hydrocarbon reserves. Although this figure has Read more…

Meeting the Energy Challenge: A White Paper on Energy. DTI

Elizabeth Cuthbertson Provides a detailed overview of the 2007 EWP, including the Government’s key long term challenges of tackling climate change, whilst ensuring secure, clean and affordable energy. The context of the challenge is set out in respect to the climate challenge from a global and UK perspective, and the security of supply challenge in terms of import dependency and investment needs. These provide a framework for the 2007 EWP in terms of the principles and actions within it, based around saving energy, developing cleaner energy supplies and securing reliable supplies at prices set in competitive markets.
