Securing an adequate and sustainable energy supply is one of the key challenges for industrialized nations in the 21st century. The demand-driven price rises in fossil fuels recently seen by the world economy are likely to persist and require strategies such as increasing energy efficiency and the use of alternative sources of energy. As part of ongoing efforts in Austria, the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology has launched the strategic long-run initiative, Energie 2050 (Energy 2050). Its aim is to develop a shared assessment of the current situation as well as the strengthening of relevant R&D and the evolution of a strategy for technological innovation. |
