Description

Both the disastrous effects of unmitigated climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels call for a transition to a decarbonized energy system. In my thesis, I ask whether and how a decarbonized and sustainable industrial civilization can be achieved, investigating aspects of its physical feasibility and political acceptability. Despite a common motivation to understand the conditions of the energy transition, each chapter is autonomous from the others

Abstract (French)

Tant les effets desastreux d'un changement climatique non attenue que l'epuisement des combustibles fossiles exigent une transition vers un systeme energetique decarbone. Dans ma these, je me demande si et comment une civilisation industrielle decarbonee et durable peut etre realisee, en etudiant certains aspects de sa faisabilite physique et de son acceptabilite politique. Malgre une motivation commune pour comprendre les conditions de la transition energetique, chaque chapitre est autonome par rapport aux autres
