Abstract

By the year 2050, the European Commission are committed to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gas to 80–95% through the “Energy Roadmap 2050” that was adopted on December 15, 2011 (Schleicher-Tappeser 2012). The routes on system of energy for decarbonization was explored by this Energy Roadmap 2050, and in order to achieve this objective, many relevant contributions have been done, which has effects not only at the European but also worldwide level.
