Description

In response to an energy demand growth about 2% per annum, non-renewable energy sources remain dominant until 2060, but the future pattern of their supplies will show market changes. With coal and oil declining, natural gas will be preferred fuel to the century, even with some limiting assumptions on its non-conventional production

Abstract (Italian)

Con una crescita annua della domanda di energia attorno al 2%, le fonti non rinnovabili saranno dominanti fino al 2060, ma la futura composizione della loro offerta mostrera' notevoli cambiamenti. A fronte del declino di carbone e petrolio, il gas naturale diventera' infatti il principale combustibile del prossimo secolo, nonostante alcune ipostesi restrittive sulla sua produzione non-convenzionale
