Sustainable, affordable and secure energy is the linchpin of a thriving economy and high consumer welfare. Global energy demand is expected to at least double by 2050 while the depletion of fossil energy sources continues. Symptoms of demand-supply imbalances are already being felt: oil and gas prices have more than tripled since the year 2000. Running parallel to this trend, global temperatures are rising, which - according to the overwhelming majority of scientists - is due to rising concentrations of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused by our rapid exploitation of fossil fuels. It is thus clear that energy will be one of the most consequential global issues of the coming century.
