work. >> will we be able to do that? >> which is not easy. that was one of the reasons why in madrid, it did not work out. but let us assume we have one. it should be something between 20 and 40 euros. translate that into dollars if you want, it is more or less the same amount. progress if we go up as more competitive generation. that is basically the price. prices around 20 euros today. the globalook at economy being transitioned off fossil fuels, do we have the technology to do that? what technology do we need? >> we have technologies that enable this transition. up to a certain penetration of renewables. let us say we get up to 80%. past that -- we want to decide whether we want to kick out the

other 20% left. for that, we think the storage technologies basically that will enable us to use renewable energy producing -- that is something that is being studied and worked at. i think this will happen in the next five years. >> technology coming from where? >> coming from other segments of the industry. namely automotive. the automotive industry is the industry that has the millions and millions of pieces that will drive this technology to economic levels. >> as we see more and more electric cars, how does that change your business? >> we will have electric cars. it changes our business into a consumption one side, but also the charging infrastructure that comes with electric cars and the ways in which you have to watch it.

an electric car is a battery on wheels for us. any time is connected to the grid, it can provide services to the grid. the owner of the car can recover some of the cost of money. the services is great. >> but how do you power? the amount of power that is needed is incredible. >> it is large. assume electric cars will come in large numbers in a period of 10 years. it is not a problem. it can be managed. >> what can you do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas? >> the only way to do that is , have that cutting out, the flaring, the methane leaks all around. second, work hard at reducing the amount of gas used for power generation and leave the gas to petrochemical applications. >> are they doing it seriously?

or is it something people talk about to look good? >> if you look at the declarations, they are all committed. it is in their control. it is something they can do. it is something they should have done a little bit earlier. technology wise, it is totally possible. >> what is your take on the green new deal in europe? critics have been saying it is just not enough money. >> it is the right time to do it. it is time for europe to step in. and europe can have this leadership. the money europe has set aside is to be considered on top of the market money. more thanlready willing to invest in green technologies. i'm not looking at the green deal just on the money europe has put there, but put it on top of the large amount of money waiting for investment opportunities. i have no doubt of money there. it is not money the problem.

perhaps -- that is more tricky. the money set aside to manage those sectors that suffer from transition. i think it is very wise this commission has targeted a large amount of money to use in that. that money that i think europe should use. >> thank you so much for joining us today on bloomberg. he is the chief executive of enel. back to you in london. we will have more interviews davos 2020.2020 -- >> francine will be back with us. coming up, an action-packed

matt: welcome back to bloomberg markets. this is "the european open." a little bit more than 45 minutes away from the start of cash trading across europe. let's get the first word news. economy will grow this year, but slower than expected. that is according to the international monetary fund. it predicts growth of 3.3% for 2020, down a 10th of a percentage on its projection in october. still a gain on 2019.

the imf is cautiously optimistic. it says risks are now less skewed to the downside. china, a new stage of severity. beenalth workers have infected, one critically ill, after the world health organization confirmed person-to-person transmission for -- four people have died so far. 17 years ago, the sars outbreak killed around 800 people. and in the u.s., senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is planning a tight timeline for president trump's trial. on air and at quick take powered by bloomberg. this is bloomberg. thanks very much. tom mackenzie in beijing. let's get back to the world economic forum. francine lacqua is there again with another guest. >> joining us now is the executive director of the iea.

we want to talk about renewables. we want to talk about the oil markets. will they balance because opec will comply and because in general geopolitics will take the steam out of the oil price? a very unique year behind us, 2019. , 2019,k at the last year 2020, oil prices remained more or less the same. $65. this year, we lost venezuela, iran, saudi arabia, then libya. this is all because the world is in a rush to oil, mostly coming from the united states. we expect some surplus of oil. one million barrels per day surplus. therefore, the libya issue we are facing now seems to be not a major challenge from the price

point of view. having said that, i am concerned. one potential concern is a rock. -- iraq. the second largest producer of opec, producing close to 5 million barrels per day. iraq isnt developments, not very comforting. tensions.al anope the -- we all seem iraq which has stability and the production continues. someone could step in. do saudi's want to defend the oil price even more because of the saudi aramco ipo? fatih: definitely, but iraq is a big player. the numbers are big. , notin verdict today with

too much, but i see iraq as a major issue, which is very important for the global oil markets and is set for the global economy. francine: how are you seeing demand? coming from emerging markets, or in general for oil? >> growth of one million barrels per day, perhaps higher. as strong as we have seen in the past. one million barrels per day, mostly coming from china. china, india,w and others are facing headwinds in terms of economic growth. coil --: went to ucp when do you see peak oil? oil fore see peak transportation, but not the entire oil.

the petrochemical sector, for example, is going to grow. francine: when is peak oil for transportation? fatih: at least five years of time we can see peak oil for transportation. mainly driven by the efficiency gains in cars and trucks. four renewables, good news. only good news. wind --s from solar, onshore wind, offshore wind, they will all grow very strong. our numbers show in the next 10 new power of all plants built in the world will be renewables. improvement compared to previous years. francine: what is one piece of technology you wish we had to fully transition or be on the right path to the transition to a non-fossil fuel economy? fatih: there is no single technology.

them, ie to pick one of would pick carbon storage. we need to accelerate that. carbon capture is very important. of fossilhuge amount fuels in the markets. let me give you one example. ago, fossil fuels in power generation was a 63% share. today it is still 63%. no change. renewables growth of because electricity demand is growing strongly and we are losing nuclear power. we need carbon capture and storage. it is the only technology. fossil fuels, we have oil, gas, and others. in the early stages.

francine: how can we be so advanced and still not have a common harmonized carbon price? fatih: it is difficult. when we look at the global markets, it only consists of europe. we have china, india, indonesia, africa. they have other priorities. they do not put climate change as a top priority. they have other priorities. we have to recognize this. therefore, what is happening in europe is excellent. the green new deal. europe is responsible -- for only 9% of the emissions. 91% comes from somewhere else. europe's leadership is important, but it will not solve the problem by itself. we need other countries in the picture. co2 going into the atmosphere -- theyarta or paris or

have the same effect on everybody. francine: thank you so much for joining us. the executive director of the iea. plenty more from the world economic forum. matt: looking forward to it. thanks so much. live at davos all week for you. a lot more coming up including ubs missing its first full year -- sorry, full-year profitability target, cutting its midterm goals. ♪

moneyare not focusing on in terms of quantity, but quality. the net new money should not be overemphasized. very solid net new money outcome for the year, particularly if you look at asia. 9% growth taking client assets to 450 million. going forward, we are dropping the net new money targets because, you know, i would describe the situation we are in now in terms of negative rates in europe versus france. continue toy will be something we look at. at the end of the day we are focused on growing our business and growing our profitability. is not aoney per se good indicator of doing that. actually, you can see how

passive deposits are not being deployed. it is costing millions every year. we are going to focus again on quality of net new money, not quantity, going forward. manus: i'm just train to get a sense of what has happened since the trade deal took root in december. there was a shift in global sentiment. have you seen that translate at a client level and activity in the past month? >> yes. you compareat -- if not only year on year, but also the more recent history in respective client activity and going into late november and december, last year we saw much more constructive and active environment. this is the reason why.

since 2010. i think if you also look at -- clients expect and we expect a further drop in gdp growth globally somehow embedded in the market. the normalization of brexit, of trade tensions between the u.s. littlena, is giving a bit more comfort to investors. there is a need for a lot of this cash to be deployed. there is a much more constructive tone and the seasonality factor should not be forgotten. in that sense we have a much more constructive view on q4. -- on q1, but still, the visibility and the volatility and the uncertainty remains there. anna: that was sergio ermotti, ceo of ubs speaking to manus cranny earlier.
