Securing Europe s Energy Future

A prosperous future requires abundant sources of energy.

German energy policy now depends once more on the future deployment of renewable energy sources.

NEW YORK The surest bet on the future of energy is the need for low carbon energy supplies.

For Europe s energy future, today is the moment for tough decisions.

Like China, India views Central Asia as an important future energy supplier.

New energy and environmental technologies will undoubtedly drive growth in the future.

Indeed, the idea was discussed in January at the World Future Energy Summit and the International Renewable Energy Conference in Abu Dhabi.

Two interconnected energy issues will shape our economic and geopolitical future for decades to come.

PARIS Humanity s future, to say nothing of its prosperity, will depend on how the world tackles two central energy challenges securing reliable supplies of affordable energy, and switching to efficient low carbon energy.

The energy future of nine billion people, which is what the world population will be in the middle of the century, lies neither in fossil fuels nor in nuclear energy, but in renewable energy sources and dramatic improvements in energy efficiency.

The ultimate prize is a clean energy technology that is within reach and that could provide the basis for a safe, secure, and sustainable energy future.

Steadily rising prices of raw materials, agricultural products, and energy already reflect fears about future shortages.

The importance of nuclear energy and its potential increase in the future is something generally recognized.

There is no green energy source that is affordable enough to replace coal in the near future.

The cultivation of different energy crops will in future enrich crop rotation and hence improve plant diversity.

The energy future of nine billion people, which is what the world population will be in the middle of the century, lies neither in fossil fuels nor in nuclear energy, but in renewable energy sources and dramatic improvements in energy efficiency. We already know this.

Until now, the geopolitical dimension of European energy security has been so neglected as to endanger the Union s future.

But that impact continues to reverberate and not only in global public debate about the future of nuclear energy.

A prosperous future requires abundant sources of energy. We face a daunting task to find credible alternatives to fossil fuel.

Europe s leaders have a duty to tell their peoples what needs to be done to ensure a secure energy future.

Iran s energy demand will exceed its supply, possibly reducing or even eliminating its oil export capacity in the near future.

As a result, energy will be significantly cheaper in the US than in Europe or China for the foreseeable future.

Certain areas, however, such as renewable energy sources and desertification monitoring and assessment, would merit closer attention in future reports.

So, when we think about the future of energy, imagine what would it be like if instead of this, we could build the energy equivalent of this just by rearranging the molecules differently.

For example, all the Union s future energy agreements should include an energy security clause that explicitly outlines a code of conduct and measures to be taken in the event of a supply disruption.

As Africa looks to the future, developing its enormous energy resources through both national and regional efforts must be given high priority.

Climate economists repeatedly have pointed out that such energy innovation is the most effective climate solution, because it is the surest way to drive the price of future green energy sources below that of fossil fuels.

We are convinced that, in the near future, nuclear energy will have a fundamental role, not only in clean energy production but also in human health, agriculture, industry, food preservation, water desalination and other peaceful applications.

And that continues into the future with the renewables that we're developing today, reaching maybe 30 percent of primary energy by mid century.

At its first meeting in July 2004, UN Energy elaborated its future work plan and modalities for interaction with non United Nations stakeholders.

I think future engineered species could be the source of food, hopefully a source of energy, environmental remediation and perhaps replacing the petrochemical industry.

And incorporating shale gas into the world s energy mix could help to combat climate change by creating a bridge to a low carbon future.

Countries that lead the way politically will, as a collateral benefit, provide domestic industries with a leading position in energy technology, ensuring future markets.

Indeed, thanks to the new techniques in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, shale gas may well become the dominant energy resource of the future.

Regardless, fossil fuels will remain an important part of the global energy mix for the foreseeable future, and it is thus critical that fossil energy technologies continue to evolve towards cleaner, more efficient and less carbon intensive systems.

Water can be a catalyst for regional cooperation, opening the way to a future comprehensive Community of Water and Energy to enhance the human environment.

If you look 50 years into the future, the way we probably will be making energy is probably one of these three, with some wind, with some other things, but these are going to be the base load energy drivers.

Given that renewable energy is one of the world s fastest growing sectors, such investment could have a significant impact on future GDP growth and job creation.

Back in April, G 20 leaders accepted that investing in a low carbon infrastructure, particularly energy services, is key to a truly sustainable economic and environmental future.

The DynaRig technology was first developed in the 1960s in Germany by as a propulsion alternative for commercial ships to prepare for a possible future energy crisis.

Since forecasting method contains information about future demand and is not in conflict with other methods of increasing energy efficiency, it is always a good foreground solution.
