To meet the challenges of energy security and climate change as well as the growing energy needs of the developing world, a global energy technology revolution is essential. But is this fundamental transformation happening? What are the key technologies that can play a role?  What are the costs and benefits? And what policies do we need? The new ETP 2010 explores such questions and many others, presenting updated scenarios from the present to 2050 that show which new technologies will be most important in key sectors and in different regions of the world.
