Energy, and access to energy, are essential to human life,
civilisation and development. A number of energy issues - including
energy security, energy prices and the polluting emissions for
energy use - now have high prominence on global agendas of policy
and diplomacy. In addressing these and other global energy issues,
the purpose of this book is to lay out the broad global energy
landscape, exploring how these issues might develop in coming
decades, and the implications of such developments for energy
policy. There are great uncertainties, which will be identified, in
respect of some of these issues, but many of the defining
characteristics of the landscape are clear, and the energy policies
of all countries will need to be broadly consistent with these if
they are to be feasible and achieve their objectives. The book
therefore provides information about and analysis of energy and
related resources, and the technologies that have been and are
being developed to exploit them that is essential to understanding
how the global energy system is developing, and how it might
develop in the future. But its main focus is the critical economic,
social, political and cultural issues that will determine how
energy systems will develop and which technologies are deployed,
why, by whom, and who will benefit from them. The book has three
Parts. Part I sets out the current global context for energy system
developments, outlining the essential trends of global energy
supply and demand, and atmospheric emissions, from the past and
going forward, and their driving forces. Part II explores the
options and choices, covering both energy demand and energy supply,
facing national and international policymakers as they confront the
challenges of the global context outlined in Part I. Part III of
the book brings together the discussion in Parts I and II with
consideration of possible global energy and environmental futures,
and of the energy policy choices which will determine which future
actually comes to pass.
