Global Demand for Energy and Fossil Fuels in 2045, with Consequent CO2 Emissions

No j5pe6, SocArXiv from Center for Open Science

Abstract: This paper examines the issue of forecast global energy demand to 2045, on the basis of the expected growth in the global economy, and the consequent demand in that year for fossil fuels, on the basis of the percentage of energy demand being met by them at that time, assuming growth in the supply of renewable energy between now and then, and calculates the amount of carbon dioxide that will be added to the atmosphere by the burning of those fossil fuels in 2045, showing that they render any hope of keeping global warming below the Paris Agreement target of 2°C utterly impossible.
