Models for emission (a) and concentrations of CO2 (b) (a) (b)
The effort to do Global Warming • 2004 Emissions : 7,3 GtC (6,4 in 2000) • World population: 6,3 Billions (6,0 in 2000) • Emission/capita: 1,15 Ton C (1,06 in 2000) Max. emission for temperature stabilization: 3GtC • Objective for 2050 • World Population(minimum) : 9 Billions • Emission/capita: 0.33 Ton
2004 emissions • World average: 1,15 ton C/capita • USA: 5,4 tons C/capita • Germany : 2,8 tons C/capita • France: 1.7 tons C/capita • China: 0.75 tons C/capita
Factors to control Energy intensities CO2 intensities

Electricity substitute to fossiles -Transportation • Mass transportation • Electric car • Hydrogen (electrolysis or reforming + CS (CO2) • Bio-Fuels -Heating • Insulation • Thermal Solar • Biomass (wood, wastes, bio-gas) • Geothermal • Heat Pump • Electric Heat
First step: electricity mix Assume same mix for OECD as for France
Comparison of CO2 emissions for observed and potential mix Gain: 0.67
Evolution of GHG emissions Evolution of world GHG Emissions Increase dominated by CO2

Nuclear Intensive Scenarios • Scenarios by difference: • P.A.Bauquis • D.Heuer and E.Merle • Objective oriented Scenarios • H.Nifenecker et al.
No miracle from renewables • Hydro: • Limitation of ressource (Europe-USA) • Environment and localization (Am.Sud, Asie, Afrique, Russie) • Large Investments • Reliable, available • Might provide 20% of world electricity. France: 70TWh/450 • Wind • « fatal » Energy • Limit: 10-15% of electricity production
