China is about to become the largest oil-importing country and India becomes the largest importer of coal by the early 2020s. The Middle East becomes the world’s second-largest gas consumer by 2020 and third-largest oil consumer by 2030, redefining its role in global energy markets. Oil use grows, but in a narrowing set of markets.

Will be competitive at an oil price of $45 to $90 at their commercial date. If the technology can be brought to scale, then waste feedstock processing could solve two problems at once—a source of low-cost, low-carbon renewable fuel, and a solution to the ever more critical issue to landfill reduction.
