Dubai, UAE - 18 May, 2011: His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, received a high-level delegation from the USA Exxon Mobile , presided by Rob Gardner, manager of the Economics and Energy Division of the Corporate Strategic Planning Department. This meeting was attended by Nejib Zafarani, CEO & Secretary General of Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, a number of the Council's members, as well as heads of the council's departments. During the meeting, the delegation presented the company's report on "Expectations of Future Energy 2010: An outlook ahead of 2030""

This meeting aims to foster collaboration, coordination and expertise exchange between the Council and Exxon Mobile , which conducts annual studies on world consumption of energy.

During the meeting, His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer hailed the studies which look into the future of energy sector, noting that Dubai Supreme Council of Energy is working in line with the "UAE's Vision 2021" so as to enable the UAE become one of the most competitive countries in the world. Besides, the Council explores all aspects of sustainable energy as it is the driver of economy.

"Dubai Supreme Council of Energy works in line with the vision of energy sector and its sustainability in the Emirate as it is one of its top priorities. The development which Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy for 2030 has witnessed is the culmination of setting up this Council," His Excellency Al Tayer further added.

On his part, Exxon Mobile delegation presented their report, which expects that there will be an increase in world demand in 2030 at 35% in comparison with 2005, with an increase of over 70% in demand in developing countries. Moreover, the report shows that natural gas will be the fastest growing main source of energy, the most reliable, cleanest and reasonable in price, and will cover a wide range of requirements and needs.

According to Exxon Mobile 's expectations, advanced economies of the countries of Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD ) will need energy so as to support their economic growth. However, the ever-developing consumption efficiency in these countries will keep their demand for energy stable till 2030. In addition to this, the report expects that there will be an increase in demand for energy in the countries which are not members of the organization at over 70% in 2030.

The report also stresses the necessity to expand the economic resources of energy so as to meet the increasing demand for energy. These sources include oil, natural gas and coal which will provide around 80% of world demand for energy in 2030. Natural gas, as being the cleanest source of basic fuel, will replace coal as the second biggest source of energy in 2030. Furthermore, the use of renewable and modern sources of energy including nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, and biofuel will be widely expanded.

At the end of the visit, Exxon Mobile delegation extended their thanks and appreciation to His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, for the good reception and providing them with the opportunity to discuss various aspects of collaboration between the two sides.
