The world is facing major challenges in providing energy services to meet the future needs of the world and in particular the growing needs of the developing countries. These challenges are exacerbated by the need to provide energy services that take account of economic growth, security of supply and sustainability, including the expected future Kyoto Protocol targets for significant reductions in CO2 emissions.
Hence, the conference aims to identify new energy solutions which can lead to a low-level stabilization of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere within the next 50 years.
The conference will focus on the scientific development of new technologies, their market perspectives, and realistic contributions to achieving a low-level stabilization of CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere at, for example, 500 ppm. What is required of new technologies, and what are their perspectives in a future supply system consisting of a mix of central units and a variety of local units? In addition, the conference will address the challenge of increasing the share of renewable energy in the coming decades – in particular, increasing the share of renewable energy in the power system and the transport sector.
The conference focuses on
- Future global energy development options
- Scenario and policy issues
- Measures to achieve low-level stabilization at, for example, 500 ppm CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere
- Local energy production technologies such as fuel cells, hydrogen, bio-energy and wind energy
- Centralized energy technologies such as clean coal technologies
- Providing renewable energy for the transport sector
- Systems aspects, differences between the various major regions throughout the world
- End-use technologies, efficiency improvements and supply links
- Security of supply with regard to resources, conflicts, black-outs, natural disasters and terrorism
