Clean coal technology discovered
Energy industry in number of countries will be still to a large extent based on conventional coal energy. Despite of the fact that coal is the most pollutive fossil fuel, it is still to be the most widely used source of energy ...
A considerable increase in efficiency of renewable resources
An ongoing rapid development of renewable resources of energy results in increase of their efficiency, availability and stability. As a result, some countries start to consider renewable resources as a real alternative to conve...
Severe accident of a nuclear power plant
Although the risk of a severe accident of a nuclear power plant is extremely low, it is still not a zero-risk. In the past, at least two major accidents of nuclear power plants occurred – in Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, w...
National energy grid disappears
Due to new domestic heating and electricity production innovation, households become self-sufficient in energy. Finally, there is no need anymore for national energy grid.
Breakthrough in cold fusion leads to renaissance in energy m ...
Suddenly scientists discover the way to do cold fusion which leads to renaissance in energy markets.
Thanks to algae Australia becomes biggest energy producer in ...
Algae production begins around the world in all available sunny offshore areas, and in many inland bonds and lake areas by 2020’s. Australia becomes the biggest algae biofuel producer in the world. Big companies, small and me...
Algae pathogen suddenly destroys new energy foundation of hu ...
Step by step all human kind becomes dependent on algae biofuel production. Transportation relies almost entirely on algae biofuel, but heating and electricity production rely heavily on it as well. Use of oil goes down. Suddenl...
Terrorists take algae production plants to their main targets
If world energy sector becomes dependent on algae biofuel production, terrorist know how vulnerable algae is for bioterrorism and how dependent many countries of sunny offschores are on their algae production. As oil sector is ...
Global clean water problems solved in dry but sunny offshore ...
Algae production plants in sunny offshore areas become huge industrial areas which produce not only huge quantities of biofuels, but also lots of electricity and clean water from sea water. Global clean water problem is suddenl...
Such as a dirty bomb, would be a big challenge and be both a wild card and a major reorder of the equilibrium. It is such an undesirable thing, no one wants to face the prospect. Europe has never had an active bomb or dirty bo...
Space-based solar panels supply energy to earth
A new technology enables affordable and efficient large space-based solar panels, which by beaming microwaves provide most of the world's energy needs. The energy is clean and renewable, the source is infinite.
Super-efficient power lines with almost zero resistance
Future breakthrough in high-temperature superconductors or carbon nanotubes (CNT) enable loss-less transmission of electrical power. Carbon nanotubes exhibit so-called "ballistic conductivity", which is effectively similar to s...
Clean, green machines: The advent of the carbon-lite economy
Breakthroughs in alternative energy sources may end fossil fuel dependence. Likely candidates to replace fossil fuel include nuclear (fusion and fission), hydrogen, biomass and other renewables and increased energy efficiency.
Revolutionary breakthrough in storage of energy from renewab ...
One of the most significant shortcomings of renewable sources of energy is their vulnerability, instability and low concentration. This in turn leads to utilization of back-up energy sources and makes the whole process of energ...
The oil crisis in the 1970s demonstrated how serious the impact of a sudden black-out of oil supply on advanced economies can be. As a result, e.g. France oriented its energy sector to be sustained by a nuclear energy. If this ...
The research of thermonuclear fusion has advanced to the extent that the thermonuclear fusion is now started to be utilized as a source of energy production, next to the current nuclear power plants, whose energy production is ...
Smal-scale nuclear power to meet private energy demands
Countries, cities, villages and corporations turn to micro scale nuclear reactors in order to meet the energy demands which are otherwise not reached. The world is running out of oil and it all the time faces more and more stri...
Solarpanel satellites microwave electricity to earth
Due to new unexpected discoveries in solarpanel, satellites, and energy transportation, solarpanel satellites are taken into large scale energy production use. Solarpanel satellites start microwaving to earth 30% of earth's ene...
Sunlight to produce hydrogen from water
Due to breakthroughs in solarpanel technology, large areas from Sahara become reserved for hydrogen production. Solarpanels generate electricity which again is used for separating hydrogen from water.
Saudi-Arabia’s oil reserves get suddenly destroyed
New political group takes over Saudi-Arabia and decides to destroy its oil reserves due to religios and political reasons.
Cheap biofuel from algae replaces oil by 2030
By 2030 algae finally fully replaces oil, not only in transportation, but in all production where black oil used to be used such as plastic, rubber, and electricity production. Oil remains in the energy markets, but due to new ...
Suddenly algae production become the globally accepted and h ...
By mid-2010’s scientists in Europe discover new algae species from Mediterranean Sea which can be used very efficiently and very broadly in biofuel production. Soon after that the scientists discover a new scientific principl...
Algae escapes from many sea breading areas and starts to sev ...
Suddenly algae escapes from many sea breading areas around the world at the same time and starts to severally harm all the ocean ecosystems. Fisheries and aquaculture are heavily suffering. Soon it is realized that algae produc...
EU becomes the global energy net exporter by 2030
The problem of solar cells have been their relativelly short lifetime, payback time and costs of establishing a system. The FP 7 project ROBUST DSC is studying and developing Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSC) with long lifetime ...
We enter a society of free energy, true sustainablility and ...
TDSTC progress offers new ways of making contact between string theory and our four dimensional real world in general and cosmology in particular. The objective of TDSTC is to take advantage of this progress and to improve our ...
Attacks (by individual) on energy waste become prevalent, including sabotage, naming-and-shaming and various forms of civil disobedience. This becomes a EU-wide movement and is targeting facilities where energy is unnecessarily...
