One Issue Raised Following the Panel Discussion: Sectoral <strong>and</strong> Integrated Approach to<br />

Energy Services<br />

The approach in chapter 9 <strong>of</strong> WG III TAR, as in most other chapters, is <strong>sectoral</strong> analysis.<br />

However this approach is limited in light <strong>of</strong> the restructuring <strong>of</strong> the energy sector, in which there<br />

has observed system integration with the more systematic introduction <strong>of</strong> CHP or local<br />

renewable energy for instance, <strong>and</strong> the subsequent interference between local need <strong>and</strong><br />

centralised production provided by general networks <strong>of</strong> electricity, gas, oil, or other energy<br />

sources.<br />

This integration is more obvious when one analyses the integration <strong>of</strong> transport, energy, housing<br />

<strong>and</strong> work location in urban areas. This could yield some interesting paths for a more efficient <strong>and</strong><br />

pertinent use <strong>of</strong> energy. Analysis on integration <strong>of</strong> energy systems was made in the energy<br />

related chapters in WG III SAR (Second Assessment Report). It is not found any more in the<br />

draft Report <strong>of</strong> the Third Assessment despite the fact that the integrated approach is more <strong>and</strong><br />

more widely applied.<br />

Finally, a new approach has emerged with the concept <strong>of</strong> industrial ecology (Frosch <strong>and</strong><br />

Gallopoulos, 1999, Erkman, 1998). It proposes to industrial complexes to develop in an<br />

integrated way in which wastes from one process are recycled in another (heat at lower<br />

temperature, semi-raw materials). These help make the very specialised process <strong>of</strong> production,<br />

developed in the last two centuries <strong>and</strong> largely shaped since the beginning <strong>of</strong> the 19th century<br />

with rationalisation <strong>of</strong> plant production, diversify or integrate from the perspective <strong>of</strong> a global<br />

economy.<br />
