Low carbon energies: action by the CEA

In future decades we can expect the situation regarding energy and climate change to become more and more difficult. On one hand, population growth and essential development in emerging economies will increase the demand for energy; on the other, the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, procurement difficulties due to geopolitical tension, and global warming are all making the search for viable and competitive alternatives to hydrocarbons all the more urgent. In the 2007 edition of its World Energy Outlook report, the International Energy Agency (IEA) made the position clear. CEA is one of the major European research institutes working in the field of energy, he is part of European Energy Research Alliance (EERA). (authors)
