Jeroen van der Veer, CEO Shell

28th January 2008

"Regardless

of which route we

choose, the world's

current predicament

limits our maneuvering

room. We are

experiencing a

step-change in the growth

rate of energy demand

due to population growth

and economic

development, and Shell

estimates that after

2015 supplies of

easy-to-access oil

and gas will no

longer keep

up with

demand."
