Description

The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis of Laxenburg, Austria has carried out a comprehensive systems analysis in which the problems of the long-term world energy supply are treated first qualitatively and then quantiatively. The results of this five-year study have been published in a book entitled 'Energy in a Finite World: a Global Energy Systems Analysis.' This summary of the book indicates that the world's energy supply in the next fifty years will not be limited by resources, but the rates at which new technologies will be built up. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Das Internationale Institut fuer Angewandte Systemanalyse (IIASA), das von wissenschaftlichen Institutionen aus 17 Laendern getragen wird, hat in fuenfjaehriger Studienarbeit die Probleme der langfristigen Energieversorgung in einer weltweiten Perspektive auf der Basis von sieben Weltregionen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie sind in dem neuen Buch 'Energy in a Finite World: A Global Systems Analysis' niedergelegt worden. Die hier vorgelegte Zusammenfassung zeigt, dass die Energieversorgung in den naechsten 50 Jahren nicht so sehr von den Energie-Ressourcen her, sondern von der Entwicklung und der zeitlichen Einfuehrung neuer Technologien begrenzt wird.
