Objective This proposal is a co-ordination action whose final objective is to produce the pre-print of a reference book presenting a world energy/technology outlook by 2050. In addition to the elaboration of the long-term baseline projections, the proposed project will also assess various technological breakthroughs likely to occur in the next 50 years in a context of a high value of the carbon, and evaluate two European strategies toward sustainability: the first one towards an hydrogen economy for Europe, the second one towards a reduction by a factor 4 of the CO2 emissions related to energy. The co-ordination action is based on the exploitation of the POLES model which is a global sectoral model of the world energy system, and of mean-variance portfolio optimisation to assess EU-25 energy electricity mixes/scenarios as produced by the POLES model for their financial "risk-reward" efficiency .The work plan proposed is broken down into five Work Packages (WP): Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectrical engineeringpower engineeringelectric power generationengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfossil energycoalengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsfossil energynatural gasengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsnuclear energyengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energyhydrogen energy Keywords Climate change energy technologies techynologies trajectories Programme(s) FP6-POLICIES - Policy support: Specific activities covering wider field of research under the Focusing and Integrating Community Research programme 2002-2006.
