Abstract :
This paper aims at clarifying key points for realizing sustainable energy supply under restrictions on CO2 emissions. For this purpose, the possibility of `solar breeding system´ is investigated as a key technology for the sustainable energy supply. Then we describe our mathematical model simulating global energy supply and demand in ultra-long term. Depletion of nonrenewable resources and constraints on CO2 emissions are taken into consideration in the model. Computed results have shown that existing energy system based on nonrenewable resources shifts to a system based on renewable resources in the ultra-long term with appropriate incentives
