Since predicting the future accurately is not possible, every effort has been made to present the underlying assumptions and causal mechanisms that will drive the likely developments of specific fuels, sectors, technologies and countries. It is hoped that this approach will contribute to a better understanding of the EU energy system and, consequently, will enhance the preparedness of policy makers to face the unavoidable "surprises" of the next 25 years.
