This publication has been prepared at the request of the Committee on Sustainable Energy, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. It is largely based on a study commissioned by the secretariat to examine the investment prospects and financing of the hydrocarbon sector in the light of the need to enhance global energy security. The secretariat is indebted to the author of the study, Terry Newendorp, Chief Executive Officer, Taylor-DeJongh, Washington, D.C., and to his colleagues. This publication would not have been possible without the knowhow and substantive input of Taylor-DeJongh. The secretariat is very grateful for the contribution George Kowalski has made to the research, writing and editing of this publication both as Director of the Sustainable Energy Division and subsequently as a consultant to the secretariat.
