9 World overview Energy demand will increase 50% by 2030 Oil, coal and gas will remain dominant Alternatives to conventional crude oil required to meet demand growth Oil refinery capacity will remain tight medium term

18 Does Australian refining really matter? Energy security is emerging strategic issue for all Australian industry Petroleum product imports are increasing – what level is the “tipping point” for insecurity? Liquid fuel security can be achieved – but we have to recognise the problem and take it into account now
