Nakicenovic # Global Energy Challenges Sustainable access to energy services Sustainable access to energy services (a prerequisite for reaching MDGs) Deep CO 2 and other GHGs reductions Deep CO 2 and other GHGs reductions Energy systems security and reliability Energy systems security and reliability Investment in RD&D and in diffusion Investment in RD&D and in diffusion

Nakicenovic # World Primary Energy Primary Energy (EJ) Biomass Coal Oil Gas Renewable Nuclear Microchip Steam motor Gasoline tube Commercial Nuclear Television aviation engine Electric Vacuum energy

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHNGE (IPCC) Long-Term Stabilization Profiles A2 B1

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHNGE (IPCC) Long-Term Stabilization Profiles ~$100/tCO 2 A2 B1

INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHNGE (IPCC) Long-Term Stabilization Profiles <$25/tCO 2 ~$100/tCO 2

The lower the stabilisation level the earlier global emissions have to go down peak in 10yrs peak in 25yrs
