Key Insights

The report examines the potential for energy shocks in national economies due to physical and institutional constraints on oil supply and greenhouse gas emissions. It uses 'stocks and flows' modeling to analyze scenarios for China and Australia, assessing the impact of alternative energy technologies and cross-sectoral effects on mitigating these shocks. The research suggests that while technological alternatives exist, systemic limitations may hinder their effectiveness in averting energy shocks.
