Europe
Energy is essential to human progress. It enables high standards of living in the developed world; and it has the potential to improve billions of lives in the developing world. That's why global demand is rising. Because every economy - and every society - wants what energy can deliver. The average European consumes the equivalent of 11 litres of oil a day.Watch our vignette to learn more about his habits.
There will be sufficient oil resources to meet global demand and growth, economically, for decades to come. However, indigenous European production will decline over time and energy imports will increase.

We are doing research to improve the fuel efficiency and environmental performance of the internal combustion engine, which will continue to power the vast majority of cars in 25 years. HCCI technology aims to combine the efficiency of a diesel engine with the lower emissions of a conventional petroleum engine.Watch our vignette to learn more about this promising technology.
