          The investment environment is increasingly driven by market based incentives and with large resources in shale gas, tight oil, heavy oil and deep water exploration, Latin America’s hydrocarbon potential seems larger than ever and also much more challenging in terms of technical and capital resources. What does it take to succeed and how can environmental and local community concerns be addressed in a framework of profitable investment.

          In the evolution from fermented biofuels through genetically modified algae and bacteria and thermochemical processes, there are many different approaches to producing “drop in” renewable fuels that can be used with existing industry refueling infrastructure. Will there be a new “winner takes all” to succeed refined crude oil products or will there be a broad ecosystem that gradually fills the gap?

          Primary energy - gas, NGLs, oil, and coal - availability and cost are perhaps the most important drivers for commodity petrochemical investment, while access to product markets is key to fuels refining capacity. New technological developments in energy and chemical production are shifting global economic drivers and the resulting investment patterns and business strategies. · How is North American shale gas development changing petrochemical production economics versus investment in growth markets such as China? · Can access to low-cost coal create incentives to produce alternatives to petroleum fuels and chemicals? · How are companies assessing the risks and rewards of feedstock-driven strategies?
