3.7 Our future energy demand

Course subject(s) 3. Energy Analysis

Can you predict what the energy demand will be in 2050, and how that energy demand will develop to 2050, accurately?
If you can, then you should be very rich! This question is impossible to accurately answer as we can’t look into the future. However, there are methods to try to explain plausible and possible ways of how our energy demand may look like in the future.

In this lecture we will try do such for the country of Tudelftia. For this we will use the energy balance again and we will establish two scenarios. What will the energy balance of the country look like in 2030 for various scenarios?

How can our future energy demand look like?
