Risø Energy Report 9: Non-fossil energy technologies in 2050 and beyond

This Risø Energy Report, the ninth in a series that began in 2002, analyses the long-term outlook for energy technologies in 2050 in a perspective where the dominating role of fossil fuels has been taken over by non-fossil fuels, and CO2 emissions have been reduced to a minimum.
 
Against this background, the report addresses issues like:

- How much will today’s non-fossil energy technologies have evolved up to 2050? 
- Which non-fossil energy technologies can we bring into play in 2050, including emerging technologies? 
- What are the implications for the energy system?
 
Further, Volume 9 analyses other central issues for the future energy supply:
 
- The role of non-fossil energy technologies in relation to security of supply and sustainability 
System aspects in 2050 
- Examples of global and Danish energy scenarios in 2050
- The report is based on the latest research results from Risø DTU, together with available international literature and reports.
