Energy Challenge: A Summary  World consumes 17 TW of power on average at present.  Large increases in energy use is expected (50% increase by 2030, 400% increase by the end of the century)  International Energy Agency (IEA ) World Energy Outlook reports that this will require increased use of fossil fuels. Air pollution & Climate Change Will run out sooner or later  Limiting CO 2 to 550ppm by 2050 is an ambitious goal. USDOE: “The technology to generate this amount of emission-free power does not exist.” IEA: “Achieving a truly sustainable energy system will call for radical breakthroughs that alter how we produce and use energy.”  Public funding of energy research is down 50% since 1980 (in real term). World energy R&D expenditure is 0.25% of energy market.  World consumes 17 TW of power on average at present.  Large increases in energy use is expected (50% increase by 2030, 400% increase by the end of the century)  International Energy Agency (IEA ) World Energy Outlook reports that this will require increased use of fossil fuels.

UCSD scientists perform leading edge research in new energy technologies Some Examples:  Bio-fuels from non-food-stock crops.  Building a pilot scale plant for alcohol fuels from cellulosic feedstocks.  High-efficiency Photovoltaic through novel material and design.  Advanced solar concentrator using dichoric mirrors, space-efficient beam path and molded lenslet bars.
