What’s energy? • Energy is… • …the capacity of a system to do work • …an input for any economic activity • …the sources we use • …an issue among other issues Fossil Future – Introduction to the issue
Energy and economic growth World total European Union GDP GDP PEC PEC Gross domestic product (GDP) and primary energy consumptions (PEC) trends (1979 = 100). Fossil Future – Introduction to the issue Sources: IMF, online database and BP, Statistical Review of World Energy 2013
Primary energy consumption – World Fossil fuels account for 82% (10.668 Mtoe) of World total primary energy consumption (2011). Fossil Future – Energy consumption and mix Source: EIA, World Energy Outlook 2013
Primary energy consumption – Major economies 2.743 Mtoe – 88% 2.189 Mtoe – 84% 1.659 Mtoe – 75% 750 Mtoe – 72% 718 Mtoe – 91% 461 Mtoe – 90% Fossil Future – Energy consumption and mix Source: EIA, World Energy Outlook 2013 (2011)

EU energy policy: targets • 2020 targets • 20% share of energy from renewable sources (national) • 20% reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels • 2030 targets (proposed) • 27% share of energy from renewable sources (EU level) • 40% reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels Fossil Future – The EU’s place in the World
EU’s share of World total consumption – Breakdown Note: EU is the largest economy in the World (17,3 T$ - 23%), preceding the US (16,7 T$ - 22%) and China (8,9 T$ - 12%) (2013, IMF). Fossil Future – The EU’s place in the World Source: EIA, World Energy Outlook 2013 (2011)
EU and World energy consumption: forecasts In 2030, fossil fuels are bound to account for two third of the EU energy consumption and for more that three quarters of the World total energy consumption. Fossil Future – The EU’s place in the World Source: EIA, World Energy Outlook 2013

EU energy policy: the carbon issue and the European targets • Carbon issue • Supposed climate change • Supposed causation link between carbon emissions and climate change • Action pattern: reduction of carbon emissions • European targets • 2020 : 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels • 2030 : 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels Fossil Future – The carbon issue

Reduction vs. mitigation Mitigation Mitigation is the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. Mitigation is taking action now—before the next disaster—to reduce human and financial consequences later. Reduction Reduction is the effort to act now on the causal factors in order to reduc e a probable outcome in the future. Fossil Future – The carbon issue
