FUTURE ENERGY – A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

The world’s energy future will be essentially
determined by
1.1 Meeting SDG 7 which states “Ensure access to
affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern
energy for all”.
1.2 Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases by
40% to 70% over 2010 levels by 2050 and to
zero or negative levels by 2100 (IPCC Fifth
Assessment Report).
1.3 Ensuring energy access for those who have no
electricity by 2030 since about one-fifth of the
world population.
1.4 Proving clean forms of energy by 2030 to
approximately three billion people who still use
solid fuels for cooking and other domestic
applications.
1.5 Reducing air pollution levels by 2030, both
outdoor and indoor, consequent on combustion
of fossil fuels and biomass, which are currently
causing one eighth of total global mortality
including 3.3 million deaths linked to indoor air
pollution and 2.6 million deaths from outdoor
air pollution (WHO).
1.6 Ensuring secure supply of modern energy by
diversification to different forms and to secure
geographical locations.
1.7 Introducing a new business model of advanced
technologies transfer for developing countries
by opening other markets including developed
states.
