Fig. 1. Potential Role of Biotechnology in the Global Energy System

Description :

These diagrams show results of an economic analysis that considered competition among energy technologies in the 21st Century and explored conditions under which biological energy sources could develop (Edmonds et al. 2003). Fig. 1A presents the MiniCAM B2 reference case (Edmonds et al. 2004). In this scenario, the world’s economic activity and number of inhabitants continue to grow, with the population reaching 9.4 billion by 2100. Energy technologies continue to improve; however, strategies to address global environmental challenges (such as mitigating greenhouse gas accumulations) are not a priority.
