India’s Energy Consumption to Surge 90 percent by 2050, Says Rosneft CEO

New Delhi, 10th June 2024 – Igor Sechin, Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft, Russia’s biggest oil producer, addressed key global business and political leaders at the Energy Panel of the 27th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). In his keynote speech titled “Energy transition and phantom barrels: Abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Not everyone will be taken to the bright future of the global energy industry!”, Igor Sechin provided a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the energy market and highlighted key challenges facing the industry.
During the speech, Igor Sechin laid special emphasis on the rapidly growing Indian economy and said “Over the next five years, India is projected to continue its strong economic momentum and become one of the top three largest economies in the world with a GDP of USD 5 trillion, and by 2050 will overtake the U.S. in terms of the size of the economy.” He further added that India’s end-use energy consumption is set to grow by 90% by 2050 – one of the fastest growth rates in the world.
Rosneft recently signed a term agreement with Indian Oil Company to increase oil supplies and diversify India’s oil grades. The Agreement took place during Igor Sechin’s recent visit to India. Indian companies (ONGC Videsh Ltd., Oil India Limited, Indian Oil Corporation, and Bharat Petroresources) have been owners of 49.9% of Rosneft’s subsidiary JSC Vankorneft since 2016.
Taking about the global preparation on energy transition, Rosneft CEO criticized the prioritization of the anthropogenic factor in climate change discourse and argues against the effectiveness of energy transition initiatives in addressing environmental concerns. Igor Sechin highlighted the insights of renowned physicist Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa, who predicted energy production challenges due to the inefficiency of alternative energy sources. Despite considering hydrogen as a promising clean fuel, Sechin pointed out current limitations in production technology, logistics, and market readiness.
Furthermore, Igor Sechin highlighted that while renewable energy accounts for less than 5% of global energy production and electric vehicles only make up approximately 3%, consumption of oil, gas, and coal has continued to rise. He argues that the lack of profitability in green energy initiatives is leading to divestment from the traditional energy sector, exacerbating the challenge of transitioning to sustainable energy sources.
Igor Sechin underlined that the energy transition should be well-balanced and focused on addressing the interests of the majority that will ensure the growth of energy consumption in the coming years, i.e. developing countries. He also noted that to achieve energy security, it is necessary to ensure the sufficiency, affordability, and reliability of energy sources.
Aggressive promotion of the “green agenda” actually means declaring an energy war on the majority of the world’s population, and overcoming energy inequality is impossible without reliable supplies of oil and gas, said Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin.
According to Igor Sechin, electricity demand will grow driven by developing countries that have yet to overcome energy poverty. While speaking at the Energy panel, Igor Sechin reminded that it is in the developing countries of Asia and Africa that we are witnessing the greatest population growth and, as a consequence, a rapid increase in the need for energy resources. Obviously, in this situation, a reduction in global consumption of fossil resources would automatically mean that the problem of hunger and energy poverty would not only persist, but also worsen. Giving up oil will also mean giving up the modern way of life. Conversely, for many countries, increased oil consumption means access to the benefits of civilization, Igor Sechin concluded.
He further stated that with OPEC+ agreement seems to have little impact on the oil market, as observed by the stockpiling of reserves by both Western and Middle Eastern companies, potentially anticipating significant market changes. These “phantom barrels” could offset the effects of voluntary production cuts by major OPEC members, evidenced by market quotations declining after recent ministerial decisions. Moreover, the looming uncertainty surrounding the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, where public sentiment is influenced, among other things, by fluctuations in gasoline prices, implies a heightened level of market volatility. The possibility of regulatory changes within the industry, contingent upon election outcomes, underscores emerging risks, prompting major players to explore alternative strategies.
According to Rosneft’s CEO, developing countries will be the main drivers of oil consumption in the coming decades. By 2030, demand growth in this group of countries is expected to account for 95% of global consumption growth in aggregate. The highest growth in oil demand is expected in Asian countries, which are Russia’s main trading partners.
India’s economy has made significant strides in recent years. Since 2010 energy demand has grown by 45%, making the country the third largest energy consumer in the world. Over the next five years, India is projected to continue its strong economic momentum and become one of the top three largest economies in the world with a GDP of USD 5 trillion, and by 2050 will overtake the U.S. in terms of the size of the economy. India’s end-use energy consumption is set to grow by 90% by 2050 – one of the fastest growth rates in the world.
The SPIEF Energy Panel was attended by Jose Felix Rivas, Sectoral Vice President of Economy, Venezuela, Zhang Daowei, Vice-President of CNPC, Martin Wiewiorowski, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Advantage Energy, David Gadzhimirzaev, Director of OFS Technologies, Nobuo Tanaka, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Japanese government’s non-profit initiative for the development of low-carbon technologies, as well as representatives of government authorities, major Russian and foreign companies in various sectors, scientists, academics, experts and analysts. The session was moderated by Alexander Dynkin, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and President of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

ISMG’s Cybersecurity Summit Midwest Explores AI Strategies to Fortify Defenses
Princeton, NJ, June 10, 2024 — ISMG’s Cybersecurity Summit: North America Midwest, scheduled for June 20, 2024, in Chicago, Illinois, is set to offer a pivotal day of advanced cybersecurity learning and dialogue.
The 2024 Thales Data Threat Report found a surge in ransomware attacks on enterprises, with a rise of over 27% in the past year. This data breach spike coincides with lax data security practices, as 43% of enterprises failed a compliance audit within the last twelve months, highlighting a correlation between strong compliance and robust data protection.
The rise in ransomware attacks and data breaches and the shifting regulatory landscape have created a challenging environment for businesses. The summit’s agenda is meticulously crafted to offer discussions on the most trending topics in the industry, which includes using artificial intelligence to combat threats, leveraging cyber insurance for enhanced security and implementing advanced supply chain security strategies.
Bill Foster, Illinois Congressman and member of the Congressional AI Taskforce, will open the summit with his keynote on the regulatory future of AI. With 45% of companies exploring AI adoption and more than 20% aggressively pursuing AI integration, according to CompTIA’s IT Industry Outlook 2024, enterprises and security leaders will likely need guidance and support from regulatory bodies to navigate adoption and compliance challenges.
Congressman Foster will spotlight the initiatives established by the taskforce to help business and security leadership in AI adoption and innovation as well as ensure compliance with regulatory standards. He will share forward-looking recommendations and discuss bipartisan policy proposals prepared with inputs from key jurisdiction committees.
“As cyberthreats continually evolve, security teams must respond with agility and innovation,” said Jennifer Eisenhofer, vice president of events, ISMG. “This summit assembles experts pioneering cutting-edge approaches, from leveraging AI for predictive defense to mastering compliance complexities and cultivating cybersecurity talent.”
With the recent increase in AI adoption by threat actors, security leaders must aim to use AI to fortify their organization’s defenses. Bradley Schaufenbuel, CISO, Paychex and CyberEdBoard member; Peter Tapling, board member, U.S. Faster Payments Council; Rich Campagna, senior vice president, product management, NextGen Firewall, Palo Alto Networks; David Kendzior, global data and artificial intelligence security leader for Accenture, will shed light on how leaders can implement AI-based solutions to buttress their cyber defense strategies.
As threat actors continue to use AI in cyberattacks, there has been a significant increase in the number of deepfake videos online, with the Department of Homeland Security reporting 95,820 deepfake videos in 2023. In an interactive tabletop session that will simulate a cyberattack scenario, Tim Gallo, head of global solutions architects, Google, and Brian Cockrill from the U.S. Secret Service will explore strategies and tactics security practitioners must implement to safeguard against deepfake attacks.
The summit will also feature a session on the strategies to address the cybersecurity skills shortage. The panelists – Shefali Mookencherry, CISO, chief privacy officer, University of Illinois Chicago and CyberEdBoard member; Todd Covert, CISO, national general, Allstate; Kenneth Townsend, CISO, Ingredion and CyberEdBoard member – will share best practices for attracting top-tier cybersecurity talent, designing comprehensive training and development programs, and implementing effective strategies to retain high-performing professionals.
The growing frequency and intensity of cyberattacks have made investments in cyber insurance necessary for enterprises. Swiss Re Institute’s report forecasts that cyber insurance premiums will reach USD 23 billion by 2025. Keith Bergin, vice president, corporate claims at Tokio Marine HCC, and Brent Deterding, CISO at Afni, Inc. and CyberEdBoard member, will share insights on using cyber insurance as a strategic asset. In this session, attendees will learn strategies to optimize their cyber insurance coverage.
ISMG’s Cybersecurity Summit: North America Midwest will provide an educational and networking platform for CISOs and cybersecurity leaders aiming to deepen their understanding and boost their organizational agility in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. By adopting key strategies in AI security, cyber insurance utilization, compliance mastery, and talent development, attendees fortify their abilities to safeguard organizations against ever-evolving threats.

Scheduled for June 12-13, 2024, in Boston, the summit will focus on protecting healthcare and life sciences sectors in the U.S. from cyberthreats.
The recent ransomware attack on Change Healthcare – a major player in healthcare data exchange – caused delays in processing an estimated 15% to 50% of medical claims nationwide. Change Healthcare’s parent company UnitedHealth Group incurred around $1.6 billion in losses due to the attack and its aftermath. The incident highlights the critical importance of safeguarding patient care information, financial data and other sensitive records, and underscores the importance of robust data security in the healthcare sector, where sensitive patient information is constantly exchanged.
The HealthSec Summit offers an opportunity to engage with top-tier leaders from healthcare delivery organizations, medical device manufacturers and life sciences companies. Attendees will gain invaluable insights and collaborate on achieving cyber resilience.
