Energy and sustainable development Energy plays a crucial role in the development of economies and their people. The energy system, considered as the whole of the energy supply sector, which converts the primary energy to energy carriers, and the end-use technologies needed to convert these energy carriers to deliver the demanded energy services (see Figure 1), has developed significantly over time. Two main transitions can be distinguished in the history of the energy system (Grübler et al., 1995; Grübler, 1998). The first was the transition from wood to coal in the industrialising countries, initiated by the steam engine in the late 18th century. The use of coal, which could more easily be transported and stored, allowed higher power densities and related services to be site independent. By the turn of the 20th century nearly all primary energy in industrialised countries was supplied by coal. The second transition was related to the proliferation of electricity, resulting in a diversification of both energy end- use technologies and energy supply sources. Electricity was the first energy carrier that could easily be converted to light, heat or work at the point of end use. Furthermore, the introduction of the internal combustion engine increased mobility, as cars, buses and aircraft were built, and stimulated the use of oil for transportation. These innovations together lead to a shift in the mix of commercial energy sources from mainly coal towards domination of coal, oil and later natural gas and increased the global commercial primary energy use from 1850 to 1990 by a factor of about 40 (Grübler, 1998).

The glaciers, ice caps and glaciers are retreating and as a consequence sea level is rising. The predicted global warming during the next 100 years will reach levels where several of the ice masses will cross the threshold for being stable and disappear. Permafrost is under strong retreat which causes major infrastructure problems and also releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Sea ice is changing and the sea ice in the northern polar ocean has retreated in the last few years and might totally disintegrate during the next decade. The decrease of the cryosphere will cause sea level to rise but good future predictions calls for more improved models starting with an understanding of the processes that leads to the increase of discharge of ice especially from the ice streams in the ice sheets. We invite you to submit abstracts to the IARU Climate Congress, session 1 on Cryosphere, Instability, Sea Level Rise that relates to the subjects described above. Prof. Dorthe Dahl-Jensen Dorthe Dahl-Jensen is Prof. in Ice Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.

  • The Potentials of Renewable Energy1
    The Potentials of Renewable Energy1 Thematic Background Paper January 2004 Authors: Thomas B Johansson International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, Lund University, Lund, Sweden Kes McCormick International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, Lund University, Lund, Sweden Lena Neij International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics, Lund University, Lund, Sweden Wim Turkenburg Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development and Innovation, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands 1 This Thematic Background Paper (TBP) draws heavily from other texts that the authors have authored or co- authored, such as the World Energy Assessment: Update of the Overview (2003), the World Energy Assessment: Energy and the Challenge of Sustainability (2000), and Energy for Sustainable Development: A Policy Agenda (2002). Disclaimer This is one of 12 Thematic Background Papers (TBP) that have been prepared as thematic background for the International Conference for Renewable Energies, Bonn 2004 (renewables 2004). A list of all papers can be found at the end of this document. Internationally recognised experts have prepared all TBPs. Many people have commented on earlier versions of this document. However, the responsibility for the content remains with the authors. Each TBP focuses on a different aspect of renewable energy and presents policy implications and recommendations. The purpose of the TBP is twofold, first to provide a substantive basis for discussions on the Conference Issue Paper (CIP) and, second, to provide some empirical facts and background information for the interested public. In building on the existing wealth of political debate and academic discourse, they point to different options and open questions on how to solve the most important problems in the field of renewable energies.

However, more insights are needed whether such a trading system Accepted 13 January 2011 leads to a sufficient high CO2 price and stable investment environment for CCS deployment. To gain Available online 12 February 2011 more insights, we combined WorldScan, an applied general equilibrium model for global policy Keywords: analysis, and MARKAL-NL-UU, a techno-economic energy bottom-up model of the Dutch power Climate mitigation policy generation sector and CO2 intensive industry. WorldScan results show that in 2020, CO2 prices may Applied general equilibrium model vary between 20 h/tCO2 in a GRAND COALITION scenario, in which all countries accept greenhouse gas Linear optimisation model targets from 2020, to 47 h/tCO2 in an IMPASSE scenario, in which EU-27 continues its one-sided emission trading system without the possibility to use the Clean Development Mechanism. MARKAL-NL-UU model results show that an emission trading system in combination with uncertainty does not advance the application of CCS in an early stage, the rates at which different CO2 abatement technologies (including CCS) develop are less crucial for introduction of CCS than the CO2 price development, and the combination of biomass (co-)firing and CCS seems an important option to realise deep CO2 emission reductions.
