Sustainable Production and Stable Transportation of Energy Resources: Measures Toward 2050

Energy must be supplied sustainably to end consumers to support modern industries and sustain modern, convenient, and safe daily life. Most prominent outlooks indicate that global society requires sufficient and sustainable supplies of major fossil resources, such as oil, natural gas, and coal. However, there will be much more difficulty in exploration, production, and transport of those resources, technically, geopolitically, and naturally. State-of-the-art technologies with understanding of international circumstances must be developed to achieve sustainable production and secure transportation of energy resources, as a greatly shifted global paradigm. Sustainable, peaceful global society may also be created through cooperation of the sustainable global energy supply. Furthermore, future sustainable global society might identify the necessary types and volume of energy supply beyond 2050 on the contrary.
