Jeroen van der Veer Chief Executive, Royal Dutch Shell
Jeremy B. Bentham Vice President Global Business Environment, Royal Dutch Shell
Royal Dutch Shell's renowned energy scenarios have, for many years, helped energy experts and thought leaders around the world anticipate the evolution of global energy supply and demand. Shell's 2008 energy scenarios chart two plausible ways in which the globe's sources and uses of energy may evolve over the next half-century. These two scenarios show how the world will grapple with three hard truths: the surge in global energy demand, the end of easily accessible oil and increasing environmental stresses including the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. Royal Dutch Shell CEO Jeroen van der Veer discussed the implications these truths have on the United States now and in the next fifty years.
