Outline

>Demand for materials continues to grow, also in

Europe

>The energy intensity of material production can

still go down significantly, but there are limits

>The challenge of 80-95% GHG emission reduction

in Europe, a fact based discussion on what to

expect from industry is necessary

Demand for materials will continue to grow…

The IEA projects that:

Crude steel production will grow from 1.2 Gt in 2010 to 2.4-2.9 Gt in 2050

Cement production will grow from 3.0 Gt in 2010 to 4.4-4.5 Gt in 2050

Ethylene production will grow from 0.1 Gt in 2010 to 0.3-0.4 Gt in 2050

Etc. Etc.

And Europe’s consumption is produced elsewhere…

How about the energy intensity, some examples

minimum

Primary steel 19-40 15 7

Ammonia 33-47 25 19

Cement 3-6 2.5 1

> Energy efficiency potentials by shifting all plants to current best available

technologies is about 30% of current energy use

> Emerging technologies have the potential to close part of the remaining gap

with the thermodynamic minima

> But it is difficult to imagine a potential improvement in energy intensity

improvement beyond 50% towards 2050…

Some elements of the post 2020 policy debate

15

> Production versus consumption based policies, what is the evidence

for carbon leakage and what to do to avoid it (slide 5 and 6) ?

> What is a realistic abatement path for Europe’s industry, given stock

turnover and technical possibilities (slide 10 – 13) ?

> Innovation: how to bridge the gap from current BAT to emerging

technologies to thermodynamic minima (slide 7-9) ?

> Beyond energy efficiency – what is the role of CCS / fuel shift and

electrification towards deep GHG reductions beyond 2030 (slide 11-

13) ?

> The link to resource efficiency and recycling – how can we keep our

resource demand under control (slide 4 and 9) ?
