Après une présentation de la nature géologique des énergies fossiles, de leur processus de formation et de leur composition chimique, l'auteur tente d'évaluer leurs réserves pour réfléchir aux risques résultant de leur exploitation et leurs conséquences pour les sociétés industrielles. ©Electre 2025

Nature, formation mechanisms, future prospects in the energy transition
« as long as the weather is fine, the man does not predict the storm »
Niccolo Machiavelli
Undoubtedly, the industrialized countries are already facing a major and even existential problem : that of the transition from societies based on the massive use of fossil fuels to societies that have learned to do without them. This will, of necessity, be the real driver of the energy transition that we are talking about so much now ! Because it is the future availability of fossil fuels that will give the tempo of this transition, and not the development of other sources of energy, so difficult is the way that remains to be done to these to replace them !
This book aims to provide non-specialists, and those who are concerned by energy transition and climate protection, basic knowledge to better understand the nature of fossil fuels and their importance in the economies of the industrialized countries. The book also explains why their future availability will play a vital role in the future economic and social transformations in these countries.
It consists of two parts that can be read in a largely independent way :
