•Greenhouse Gases will be demanded to decrease •Natural Gas and petroleum will not drop in price over the long term, and may significantly increase •Natural resource conservation and dependencies will be more important
•Potable and fresh water sources will experience shortages
•A nuclear renaissance is expected, but must excel in safety and environmental impact minimization (including HLW disposal)

Energy process R&D
Biomass collection and pretreatment
Hydrocarbon reforming to hydrogen
Coal gasification process design
GALOP, September 27, 2006 Bethesda, MD6 6AREVA NP
New energy sources need energy themselves
Tar sands in Canada and Venezuela require heat and hydrogen for processing and upgrading…
…while oil shale will be thermally processed underground in the
American West
Coal-to-liquids can replace petroleum in vehicle fuels
GALOP, September 27, 2006 Bethesda, MD7 7AREVA NP
Ethylene and other chemicals warrant attention
Heat cracks larger molecules into plastic monomers
Ethylene is the largest volume organic chemical. but not the scale of fuel refining.
Chemicals are however more valuable.
Saudis and other oil producers are entering this market to export more valuable materials

Society is recognizing other large needs
Desalination of ocean or brackish water
Control of CO2 emissions by substituting nuclear for
combustion heat
AREVA High Temperature Reactors have the potential to
offset significant uses of natural gas and other fossil fuels
