ENERGY
GHG emissions from the energy system Energy-related air pollution, Water use & water stress
Access to energy services Energy affordability Food security (biomass
use)
Energy for Sustainable
Development
ENERGY FOR QUALITY OF LIFE
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
ENERGY SECURITY
“Secure the energy needed for economic development” Energy Efficiency (energy
intensity of economy, rate of improvement of energy intensity, conversion efficiency)
Pathways Project and Sustainable EnergyThree Pillars
Fuel mix Net energy trade Investment requirements
“Minimize adverse energy system
impacts on climate, ecosystems & human
health”
“Provide affordable energy that is available
for all at all times”

Deep-dive on Gas Project
Role of the role of natural gas in future energy systems
Series of Studies:
• Role of gas in displacing competing fuels
• Role of gas in supporting the uptake of renewable energy
• Penetration of gas into new markets through small-scale LNG and CNG
• Addressing environmental issues associated with natural gas
