AbstractAbstract
[en] We are some forty years away from 2050. To appreciate the modesty with which we must approach energy forecasts for this date, a look back at the energy landscape of the 1960's sheds light on the power of the changes that can occur in less than half a century in the fields of energy and society: the world's population has doubled, its energy consumption has tripled, and the nature of physical and geopolitical risks has profoundly changed. In 1960, coal was still the world's leading source of energy, while oil, at only half its current level of consumption, was already beginning to equal coal with the development of transport. Natural gas was in its infancy, and nuclear power in its infancy too. Hydropower was the only renewable energy, but the word was not yet in use. The big absentee from the landscape was climate change, that giant parameter that now dominates our energy future and introduces the new constraint of the necessary reduction in carbon emissions. Today's energy landscape has profoundly changed and has taken on a global geopolitical dimension: coal still exists for another 200 years (outside Europe), but pollutes too much; oil and gas have a much more limited horizon, but have taken the lead in terms of convenience of use; the potential of hydropower is fully exploited in developed countries; nuclear power is the only mature carbon-free energy and the most economical, but still raises fears among the public. Energy savings are required everywhere, and renewable energies remain at a low level. The carbon constraint will force us to halve global emissions by 2050, and will be the essential determinant of energy choices. This update of the 2004 edition of the 'Prospective on energy in the 21. century', the fruit of three years of additional work within the Academy of technologies, aims to provide the public with objective scientific information, enabling them to become aware of the real energy issues facing us within this century

Une quarantaine d'annees nous separent de 2050. Pour apprecier la modestie avec laquelle nous devons aborder les previsions energetiques pour cette date, un regard en arriere sur le paysage energetique des annees 1960 nous eclaire sur la puissance des changements qui peuvent intervenir en moins d'un demi-siecle dans les domaines de l'energie et de la societe: la population mondiale a double, sa consommation energetique a triple, et la nature des risques physiques et geopolitiques a profondement change. Le charbon etait encore en 1960 la premiere source d'energie, le petrole, qui n'etait pourtant qu'a la moitie de sa consommation actuelle, commencait deja a egaler le charbon avec le developpement des transports. Le gaz naturel n'etait qu'a ses debuts et le nucleaire embryonnaire. L'hydraulique etait la seule energie renouvelable, mais ce mot n'etait pas encore employe. Le grand absent du paysage etait le changement climatique, ce parametre geant qui domine maintenant notre futur energetique et introduit la nouvelle contrainte de la reduction necessaire des emissions de carbone. Aujourd'hui le paysage de l'energie a profondement change et pris une dimension geopolitique mondiale, le charbon existe encore pour 200 ans (hors d'Europe), mais pollue trop, le petrole et le gaz ont leur horizon beaucoup plus limite mais ont pris la tete par leur commodite d'emploi, le potentiel de l'hydraulique est entierement exploite dans les pays developpes, le nucleaire est la seule energie mature sans carbone et la plus economique, mais souleve encore des craintes dans le public. Les economies d'energie sont partout requises et les energies renouvelables restent a un faible niveau. La contrainte carbone obligera a diviser par deux les emissions mondiales d'ici a 2050 et sera le determinant essentiel des choix energetiques. Cette mise a jour de l'edition 2004, fruit de trois annees de travail supplementaire au sein de l'Academie des technologies, a pour objectif de livrer au public une information scientifique objective lui permettant de prendre conscience des vrais problemes de l'energie qui vont se poser au cours de ce siecleOriginal Title

AbstractAbstract
[en] This publication proposes an assessment of technological potential which is either mobilised, or to be developed to face climate change and to propose mitigation and attenuation solutions. Situations, opportunities and recommendations are stated for different important sectors: agriculture, forests and soils (use of forests, emission mitigation in agriculture, restoration of degraded soils and additional storage of organic carbon), water, ocean, cost, lowlands and climate evolution (continental water, modification of water resources, impacts on the coastline and on lowlands, adaptation and mitigation technologies), building, town planning, mobility and transport (trends in the economic and social field, in the transport and mobility field, in the building sector, for the city and its close and far rural environment), energy (structure of energy flows of human activities, energy demand for numerous usages, primary energies and resources, electricity as an essential energy vector, resilience of energy installations), energy saving by the French industry and bio-economy, information and communication technologies, climate geo-engineering (technologies of management of solar radiation, technologies of extraction of carbon from the atmosphere), job, abilities and training (the practice of life cycle analysis in the French society, commitment of the education community, priority for continuous education). Recommendations are stated for each of these sectors. A brief text voted by the Academy is also proposed

It addresses this issue for different sectors: agriculture, forest and soils (mitigation by forests and adaptation of forests, mitigation of emissions in agriculture, restoration of degraded soils and additional storage of organic carbon by soils), water, ocean, coast, lowlands and their relationship with climate evolution (modification of water resources, impacts on lowlands, mitigation and adaptation technologies), built environment, town planning, mobility and transport (discussion of current trends, and of ways to overcome difficulties), energy (structure of energy flows, energy demand, resources and primary energies, electricity as the main energy vector, resilience of energy facilities), energy savings by the French industry and bio-economy, technologies of information and communication (relationship with energy consumption, factor of saving in industry), climate geo-engineering (technologies of solar radiation management, technologies of extraction of carbon from the atmosphere), employment, skills and training. A set of recommendations is proposed for different sectors in compliance with COP21 decisions
