Energy appears to be a fundamental driving force of economic and
political strategies as well as planetary stability. Energy-related
issues such as (1) the availability of new energy sources and
viable technologies, (2) the disparity in access to energy sources,
(3) the role of energy in our societies (energy societal
metabolism), (4) the energy support to the life of our cities
(where about half of world population is going to live very soon),
and (5) the energy demand for food security all over the world, are
"hot" problems that humans will have to face within the framework
of sustainability (ecologically sound production and consumption
patterns associated with socially acce- able life styles), in terms
of policies, technological development and economic processes. A
coherent energy strategy is required, addressing both energy supply
and demand, security of access, development problems, equity,
market dynamics, by also taking into account the whole energy
lifecycle including fuel production, transmission and distribution,
energy conversion, and the impact on energy equipment manufacturers
and the end-users of energy systems. Issues of energy efficiency
and rebound effect must also be taken into proper account. In the
short term, the aim should be to achieve higher energy efficiencies
and increased supply from local energy sources, in particular
renewable energy sources.
