Edmonds, J; Reiley, J M

This book applies various forecasts of energy use to the CO/sub 2/ problem. The effect of demographic factors and economic growth on energy consumption are considered and a model is proposed relating energy consumption and carbon dioxide; predictions are made up to the year 2050 and the uncertainties in these long-term energy projections considered. Energy forms taken into account include oil and gas (both conventional and unconventional), coal, nuclear energy, solar and wind power, hydroelectricity and ocean thermal energy conversion systems and biomass.
