Abstract
[fre] Cet article passe en revue les nouvelles technologies énergétiques, l'objectif étant d'examiner dans quelle mesure ces technologies sont susceptibles de renverser la tendance croissante des prix énergétiques.. Une distinction fondamentale est faite entre les technologies de production et les technologies d'utilisation des énergies. Les premières tendent à accroître le volume des ressources disponibles au niveau mondial. Les dernières pourraient conduire à moyen terme à des accroissements substantiels de productivité par le biais d'une utilisation plus rationnelle des flux énergétiques.. La concurrence entre les deux sources d'énergie principales — le pétrole et le charbon — va se renforcer dans les années 1980. On peut penser que le coût de l'essence synthétique à partir du charbon puisse être de nature à fixer la limite supérieure à la croissance des prix de l'énergie. [eng] This paper is a survey of new energy technologies and it examines whether they can reverse the trend of rising energy prices.. A basic distinction has been made between energy producing technologies and energy utilizing technologies. The former tend to increase the volume of world available resources while the latter might in the medium term bring about substantial improvements in productivity through a more rational use of energy flows.. Competition between the two leading energy sources — oil and coal — is going to strenghten in the 80's and one might think that the cost of synthetic gazoline made from coal could well provide an upper limit to the raise of energy prices.
