Synopsis of talk: "BP Energy Outlook 2030" 

BP’s Energy Outlook represents our projections of future energy trends and the factors that could affect them, including economic and population growth, and developments in policy and technology. Three key messages have emerged from the Outlook: the rapid switch in supply patterns, driven by the unlocking of unconventional hydrocarbon resources; the importance of technology and innovation, which have brought costs down rapidly for both unconventional hydrocarbon and renewable energy resources; and the great strides seen in energy efficiency at industrial and consumer levels.
