Saudi Aramco`s Al-Othman speaks on Energy's Role at Frankfurt Meeting 2

"Access to energy has yet to be provided to one-third of the world’s population,
so growing demand and expansion of energy access mean fossil fuels will continue to
be the dominant energy source," Al-Othman said.

He noted that producers and consumers of fossil fuels must maintain the utmost
consideration for environmental impact.

"Investments must be made to develop exploration, producing, refining and
consumption technologies that will enable efficient and environmentally acceptable
use of fossil fuels," he said.

"Meeting global energy demand will require continued investment in a diverse array
of non-traditional renewable energies. While non-traditional fuels account for a
minute part of the total energy mix, there are opportunities for investors to
research and develop non-traditional energy for specific uses.
