Addressing the cost-of inaction which are increasing year by year
IEA World Energy Outlook 2010 The 2°C goal can only be achieved with vigorous implementation of current commitments in the period to 2020 and much stronger action thereafter. Cutting emissions sufficiently to meet the 2°C goal would require a far-reaching transformation of the global energy system. The cost of getting on track to meet the climate goal for 2030 has risen by about $1 trillion compared with the estimated cost last year. This is because much stronger efforts, costing considerably more, will be needed after 2020. IEA Blue Map scenario showed strong roles for CCS alongside nuclear and renewables – e.g. by 2050 world would need 30 new nuclear plants; 35 new CCS coal-fired plants; and 46GW of PV to be built every year
First, we must establish we are entering a time when 90 to 100 GW/year will reach 40yrs life-time and mainly in the developed America and Europe. This is obviously putting a lot of pressure on the industry but also opening a great avenue for a natural solution: retrofitting. And this is even more true when, in a scenario of financial crisis, our customers are looking for solutions requiring less investment. And this is a great opportunity for us …
