Sir Mark shares his personal views on the energy market:

• Flat demand outlook will transform the oil market from a price driven market to a normal commodity market, where lowest cost producers  drive the market
• Dividend cuts by the international oil majors enable them to make 'bolder bets' on the future of energy.
• Low carbon energy provide opportunities for long-term cashflow, if the challenges of initial investment hurdles can be overcome.
• Now is not the time to throw bricks at China, business can maintain stability in a fractious political world. It takes wisdom to stay calm and maintain dialogue to further develop mutually beneficial contacts and contracts. 
• A massive switch to electrification may expose vulnerabilities in alternative energy supply chains.
• Hydrogen as an alternative storage and transportation fuel, has a promising future whereby hydrocarbon feedstock can provide the transition towards green hydrogen.
