• How
soaring global energy-related CO2 emissions can
regain today's
levels by 2050.
• How
growth in oil demand can be halved.
• How galloping energy demand
can be managed with lower climate impact.
• How
energy efficiency can cut electricity demand by one-third
against baseline level.
• How
the cost of energy-sector sustainability need
not be
prohibitive.

Technology Perspectives offers compelling
messages for policy makers, notably
on the need for a portfolio of technologies
to spread
risk and costs. A sustainable, secure
energy future will hinge on dynamic financial and
policy
efforts, within both public and private sectors,
to streamline and deploy existing or emerging
energy technologies
and to boost
energy efficiency in transport,
industry and buildings. Urgent action is needed
now to prevent current investment
decisions from locking inefficient,
high-carbon
energy infrastructure into the world's economies.
This
new study from IEA is part
of the Agency's response to
calls from leaders of the G8 nations
and from IEA ministers for
advice on alternative scenarios
and strategies for a clean,
clever and competitive energy
future.
Energy
Technology Perspectives presents
close
to 500 pages of detailed analysis, illustrated with some
200 graphs and tables.
