Obiettivo The present energy system based mainly on fossil and nuclear fuels can not be sustained for the near to mid term future due to the massive environmental and health damages caused by it. The ultimate solution of global climate change and a number of other fundamental environmental problems will rest with a massive reliance on renewables. By the year 2050 renewables will have to supply well over 50% of the energy services of the world. Scenarios of system integration of renewables as well as trajectories of reaching these high penetration rates moving from the present situation to the year 2050 have to be developed. The proposed research project will make a systematic account of the present cost situation of the different technologies for the use of renewables and the corresponding foreseeable cost reduction potentials, draw up the necessary consistent scenarios and trajectories, analyse the probable impacts on major economic and ecological parameters, identify obstacles and bottlenecks standing against a substantial increase of the energy supplied by renewables and outline the most important political measures to achieve the goals set out by the scenarios. An additional task of the project will be to identify major open questions to be tackles. The main tasks of the project will be split into three main parts, a systematic account of the present technological and economic situation including foreseeable future improvements the building of consistent scenarios for the introduction of renewables in the European Union until 2050 including the analysis of impacts on jobs and the environment and an analysis of bottlenecks and obstacles for the large scale introduction of renewables. A more detailed description of the actual work composed of seventeen major steps is given in the accompanying project proposal The study will be carried out by a research team drawing directly on Danish, French, Belgium and German experiences with five different research teams from these countries beina involved in the actual work as proposers and associate proposers.
