Global Transport Scenarios 2050

The report discusses the driving forces for the global transport sector and develops scenarios with differences in fuel demand, fuel mix and CO2 emissions as main energy factors in these scenarios.

Generating the Future - UK energy systems fit for 2050

The report provides four scenario's for the UK and discusses technology potentials for energy supply as well.

EU Energy Roadmap 2050 infographic

In 2011, the European Commission published the Energy Roadmap 2050.

Europe has a goal of reducing its emissions by 80-95% by 2050. This means near total decarbonisation of the energy system. What will Europe's energy landscape look like in 2050? And what routes will Europe take towards decarbonisation?

This infographic explores 5 possible scenarios leading to 2050...

Scenarios daily life 2050

Even an elderly woman in her mid-90s will be able to use technology, appreciate technology, still work using technology, and communicate using technology. She could have a conversation and be in close communication with a young researcher, yet they would not necessarily know each others' ages or backgrounds. Some technologies might help to enhance her way of life, her physical and psychological capacities, and her behaviour. She might benefit from smart prostheses; "smart eyeballs" that are "better than the originals" either because she wants to or because she can do.

A few trends underpinning techno-centric visions 2050

Some technology trends may be unstoppable because of Moore's law, the singularity and the apparently exponential acceleration of technological growth.


Some technologies will become absolutely standard; others will disappear. There may be more diversity in terms of technologies that we can imagine today – but this may include continuing with some "old" technologies, for those who wish, including e.g. radio.

Techno-centric visions 2050

In 2050 all will be "digitally included". The Internet of Things will evolve into the Internet of Humans. We remain us as human beings. We are always connected and always interconnected. Technologies surround us and they process and aggregate information, "feeding our brains".

Gasoline from the Air

It is already a reality and it will be at the top in 2050. From the Air we will be able to produce Oil and then Petrol and Gasoil.

The processes are quite easy and they will be even so easier that there will be not more necessity to worry about the quantity of oil currently available on our planet.

This means that all the derivatives can be successfully produced again and again, like lubricants and/or other solid matters such as plastics etc.

Company that made 'petrol from air' breakthrough 'shudders' at prospect of oil industry approaches

A small British company which has produced the first “petrol from air” said yesterday it would refuse any investment offers from petrochemical companies because of fears the oil industry would take over the firm with the aim of closing it down.
