Abstract
The present energy situation and its evolution over the next decade clearly suggests that fossil fuel industries (coal, oil, gas) will have to increase their efforts to cover growing demands, particularly through development of advanced extraction techniques. In spite of the prospects for primary electricity production, fossil fuels will still contribute by 1990 more than 85 per cent of total world energy consumption.
