The way the world supplies energy is changing. Hydrocarbons will inevitably continue to be an important part of that supply for a long time - such is the mathematics of demand. The use of hydrocarbons though will be increasingly weighted towards non-combustive applications, or with carbon capture technologies employed to avoid climate change risks. This will be especially true as renewable supplies and energy storage increasingly become more widespread and capable. New generations of nuclear also seem set to play an increasing role in energy supply. PAETORO is watching with fascination the global energy evolution of the 21st Century and is doing what it can to help supply options for safer more effective energy supply, including the research topics below.
