On March 28, 2017, at Chateauform' Saint-Dominique (PARIS) was held a Forum called 'Energy Transition - What challenges for the nex Presidential Term'. It was organized by Les Echos. Energy transition is generally defined as a long-term structural change in Energy systems. These have occurred in the past, and still occur worldwide. An example of transition toward Sustainable Energy is the shift to decentralised Renewable Energy, and Energy Efficiency.
Renewable Energy encompasses Wind, Hydropower, Solar Power, Geothermal, and Ocean Power. These renewable sources are to serve as an alternative to Fossil Fuels (oil, coal, natural gas) and Nuclear Fuel (uranium). Solving the energy/global warming problem is regarded as the most important challenge facing humankind in the 21st century. Energy conservation and improvements in Energy efficiency thus play a major role.
