• Global Warming

• Potential impacts on most ecological and societal levels

• The Paris agreement aims at limiting global warming to at

« acceptable » level

• Needs to strongly decrease the use of fossil fuels

• Potential of land management to limit CO2 atmospheric

growth

• Other environmental concerns must be considered

• Biodiversity

• Land use (cf IPCC special report on land surfaces,

august 2019)

• Sustainable development requires a strong change

in the use and recycling of materials

THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS

Cumulative emissions of CO2 largely determine

global mean surface warming by the late 21st

century and beyond. Projections of greenhouse

gas emissions vary over a wide range,

depending on both socioeconomic development

and climate policy.

Limiting global warming requires large changes

CONCLUSIONS

Key energy innovation drivers for CEA

Research of excellence

Good knowledge of technologies (energy technologies, digital technologies)

Strong and wide partnerships in both R&D organization and industrial company

Importance of IP politics

New business models will appear. Importance

to mix different knowledge: energy & digital, physics & economics, etc.

to have an “integrated system approach”
