This research report identifies 12 technologies that have the potential to disrupt current supply, demand and GHG forecasts. It profiles 25 companies bringing these technologies to market and assesses the level of private activity in 10 countries and summarizes their local regulatory landscape. The study comprised significant primary and secondary research, including analysis of more than 100 companies and interviews with leading scientists and more than 30 companies. Accenture defined disruptive fuel technologies as those that (1) reduce hydrocarbon fuel demand by more than 20% by 2030, (2) save greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by more than 30% relative to the hydrocarbons they replace, (3) will be commercial in less than five years, and (4) will be competitive at an oil price of $45 to $90 at their commercial date. The report describes these technologies by providing data on what the trajectory might be for commercial viability, and highlights the key challenges in bringing these technologies to market economically. It concludes that, while all 12 technologies are in development today, they may not all be successfully brought to market. To improve the chances of commercialization, policy makers will need to take action.
