Spørgsmål fra samråd A den 4. oktober 2023
Der blev på samrådet spurgt til, om jeg som klima-, energi- og forsyningsminister er
enig i IEA’s konklusioner om, at der i Net Zero scenariet, som er i overensstemmelse
med Parisaftalen, ikke er plads til investeringer i fossile projekter, selv efter krigen i
Ukraine, som jeg på samrådet lovede en skriftlig besvarelse af.
Svar
Jeg vil gerne nuancere IEA’s konklusioner. IEA’s Net Zero-scenarie (NZE) handler
ikke alene om begrænsninger af olie og gas, men scenariet fokuserer på en lang
række af milepæle inden for forskellige sektorer for samlet at nå NZE. IEA skitserer
det således i Net Zero Roadmap fra 2021 ”Our
pathway details more than 400 sec-
toral and technology milestones to guide the global journey to net zero by 2050”

Et yderst vigtigt element i deres NZE er fx en opskalering af investeringerne i sol-
og vindenergi.
I forhold til investeringerne i olie- og gasudvinding kan jeg henvise til, at IEA i deres
Net Zero Roadmap fra 26. september 2023 siger,
”No new long-lead time upstream
oil and gas projects are needed in the NZE Scenario, neither are new coal mines,
mine extensions or new unabated coal plants. Nonetheless, continued investment
is required in existing oil and gas assets and already approved projects. Sequenc-
ing the decline of fossil fuel supply investment and the increase in clean energy in-
vestment is vital if damaging price spikes or supply gluts are to be avoided”

Under samrådet fremhævede jeg også udfordringerne med, at udvindingerne af
olie og gas bliver koncentreret i OPEC landene. IEA peger dertil på, at ”Achieving
net zero emissions goals brings energy security benefits as reliance on fossil fuels
decreases, but concerns about the security of oil and gas supplies do not disappear
in the NZE Scenario (…) oil and gas supplies become increasingly concentrated in
a small number of low cost producers, and the Organization of the Petroleum Ex-
porting Countries (OPEC) share of world oil production rises from 36% in 2022 to
52% in 2050 – a level higher than at any point in the history of oil markets since the
first oil shock (…) The Middle East plays an outsized role in serving these import
needs, with its share in total crude oil exports rising from 45% in 2022 to 65% in
