Plausible futures for the Norwegian Offshore Energy Sector: Business as Usual, Harvest or Rebuild?

[Article in business/trade/industry journal]. Discussion papers

The global energy transition from fossil to low-carbon energy challenges the future of the Norwegian petroleum sector, a major factor in the country’s economy, now facing financial climate risk and longterm declining demand, particularly for gas to the EU. What energy policies can assist the transition into a low-carbon society? We explore three investment scenarios for the Norwegian offshore energy sector from 2020 to 2070: 1) Business as usual, 2) Increasing cash-flow by harvesting existing petroleum fields and cutting investments (Harvest-and-Exit), or 3) Rebuilding with green offshore energy inv

Main Points of the Speech:

World population and economy will grow more slowly towards 2052 than most people expect - but still fast enough to trigger a climate crisis.
Consumption will stagnate because world society will have to spend ever more on repair and adaptation
Short-termism will dominate in decision making

Short Summary of the Speech:

There will be continuing focus on innovation and technological advance in two areas: energy use per unit of GDP (energy/GDP), and climate gas emissions per unit of energy use (CO2/energy) but not fast enough to avoid a temperature rise of 2 degrees Centigrade by 2052.
