Dear colleagues of the German Section SPE,
Challenging times are just about to reach our industry. Therefore, we temporarily adopt the format of our lectures and presentations into free-of-charge webinars. The webinars will be offered in the early evening to allow for attendance from the office, and may be followed by an online poll to initiate a meaningful Q&A session.
The first webinar is provided on
Outlook for Energy - A Perspective for 2040
Dr. Thorsten Hinz
Energy underpins modern life. People around the world rely on energy to cook their meals, heat their homes, fuel their cars, and power their hospitals, schools and businesses. Our industry plays a critical role in fulfilling society’s economic needs and providing the foundation for a healthier and more prosperous future. The 2019 Outlook for Energy is ExxonMobil’s latest view of energy demand and supply through 2040. For many years, the Outlook has helped inform ExxonMobil’s long-term business strategies, investment plans and research programs. The Outlook provides a projection of energy demand through 2040 using the International Energy Agency (IEA) and other credible third-party sources as a foundation. The projection is based on likely trends in technology, policy, consumer preferences, geopolitics and economic development. While these individual trends may vary over time, the snapshot provided by the Outlook can help to evaluate society’s progress toward addressing both aspects of the dual challenge: to provide reliable and affordable energy to a growing population, while reducing environmental impacts, including the risks of climate change. Technology holds the greatest potential to help society address the dual challenge, and has already significantly improved energy efficiency and helped to unlock diverse and abundant sources of energy.
