Abstract

The wheels of technology are turned by the conversion of energy from one form into another. Thus, energy is a key element of sustainable development. Current trends in energy supply and use are generally unsustainable, especially when the environment is affected by the emitted green–house gases. These are expected to double by 2050, and increased oil demand will heighten concerns over the security of supplies. Hence, research on green favorites should continue vigorously. It is unfortunate that these have their own limitations. In such a complex situation, consideration of energy priorities in research and development should be organized carefully, and drivers for future energy policy should be considered very critically. This should give very careful foresight for the viable technologies, energy efficiency, renewable energy, oil shale, nuclear energy, hydrogen energy, in addition to any future innovations. Energy is of vital importance for the processes of production and manufacturing. Thus, a key element of sustainable development.
