Global energy perspectives: a summary of the joint study by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis and World Energy Council

Article Abstract:

A joint study by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis and the World Energy Council called 'Global Energy Perspectives to 2050 and Beyond' analyzed three cases of economic and energy developments for six energy supply alternatives until the end of the 21st century. The study considered world population forecasts, economic growth, technological developments, the energy resource base, environmental problems, finance and predictions on fossil and non-fossil fuels and industries.

Energy perspectives into the next millennium: from resources scarcity to decarbonization

Article Abstract:

The amount of worldwide fossil fuel reserves, already estimated to be able to last for over 130 years, is expected to rise further as better means of extraction are discovered. It became readily apparent that what will be critical in the future is not the fossil fuel supply but the amount of carbon that will be released in the atmosphere with the use of those energy sources. The concept of decarbonization, the move towards cleaner energy sources, is therefore a policy towards sound development.

Decarbonization: doing more with less

Article Abstract:

Decarbonization of primary energy requirements, energy conversion and energy consumption continues to grow. At present, it remains at a global level of 0.3% annually. This may be seen in the carbon dioxide emission and energy profiles of China, France, Japan, India and the US. This, however, may be offset by the increasing carbon intensity in primary energy in developing countries. To avoid this situation, policies geared towards natural gas, biomass and nuclear energy should be developed.
