The Future of Fossil Fuels

Introduction

Over 80% of the world's energy supply currently comes from fossil fuels and this is likely to remain the situation over the coming decades. Coal is the most plentiful fossil fuel, followed by natural gas and then conventional oil. Resources of oil in non-conventional sources - such as the oil sands, heavy oils and oil shales in a number of countries are also very large. This one-day meeting will provide a forum to explore and discuss the role of a wide range of fossil fuels for power generation, transport, heating and materials in the next century.
