    Energy demand and emissions are rising steadily, and are forecast to double by 2050 (IEA 2012). In fact, energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have reached historic highs (IEA 2012). Moreover, the reliance on a narrow set of technologies and fossil fuels is a threat to energy security, which raises concerns (IEA 2012). It is therefore clear that current trends in energy supply are unsustainable—economically, environmentally and socially (IEA 2011)
