Long-term energy supply strategies. The present-day energy debate has concentrated on the short to medium term aspects of the pressing energy problem. From the viewpoint of a national economy, the energy crisis definitely dictates such a strategy. Structural changes, i. e. research and development of advanced technologies for the energy supply sector as well as improvements of end-use devices, however, are inherently of a long-term nature. At the same time, it is of utmost importance to channel measures becoming effective in the long run into the correct direction from the very beginning. The concept of developing long-term energy supply strategies therefore serves as a means for comprehensive orientation in the energy question. It is not so much the predictions but rather the guidelines that are of most importance. This paper describes long-term energy supply strategies for seven world regions, covering the whole globe. The question of compatibility and consistency for anticipated energy strategies of each of the seven regions is then brought into perspective.
