Energy challenge of the 21st century

The 21st century will be a century of transition. Oil and gas resources cannot keep pace indefinitely with growing world energy demand.

We must find ways to make better use of existing resources, develop new reserves and diversify energy sources. We must also tackle climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The IFP’s strategy for the coming years is built around these economic and environmental challenges.
