Sentences with phrase «projected global energy needs»

But if existing zero - carbon technologies can not affordably be scaled up to meet current and projected global energy needs, how likely is it that technologies either not yet invented or as yet prohibitively expensive can affordably replace the world's fossil - fuel infrastructure?

Not exact matches

Worldwide, carbon storage has the capability to provide more than 15 percent of the emissions reductions needed to limit the rise in atmospheric CO2 to 450 parts per million by 2050, an oft - cited target associated with a roughly 50 - percent chance of keeping global warming below 2 degrees, but that would involve 3,200 projects sequestering some 150 gigatons of CO2, says Juho Lipponen, who heads the CCS unit of the International Energy Agency in Paris.

By pioneering new renewable energy projects and establishing forward - thinking innovation centers, many countries in Africa are looking to renewable energy as a solution to meet their growing energy needs in a sustainable way, while working toward practical adaptation strategies to mitigate global warming impacts.

Unlike all the other strategies outlined in the book, Criswell's lunar solar power is (at least according to him) scalable and affordable enough to not only meet all world energy needs as currently projected, but to allow for significant expansion in global world product without environmental harm.

Fewer new clean energy projects need to be financed as, because of the recession, there are fewer global emissions to offset.

Further, we find that current projected future energy supply rates are far below the supply needed to fuel a global demographic transition to zero growth, suggesting that the predicted leveling - off of the global population by mid-century is unlikely to occur, in the absence of a transition to an alternative energy source.

When mitigating anthropogenic global warming is projected to require greater than 80 % lower fossil energy use, how do we provide the transport fuel and energy for rapid growth by developing countries while sustaining OECD economic growth when the Available Net Exports of crude oil — after China and India's imports — have already declined 13 % since 2005, and Saudi Arabia may need to import oil by 2030?

The European Council's proposals on the internal energy market fundamentally weaken the framework that is needed to deliver an integrated market that will benefit European energy consumers, write Philip Baker and Christos Kolokathis from the global energy policy advisors Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP).

EIA's report underscores the need for forward - looking energy policies that support production that will address America's projected energy needs — especially in the context of projected increased global demand.
