This summary report synthesizes the results of a two-year study of California’s energy future sponsored by the California Council on Science and Technology. The study was funded by the California Energy Commission and the S.D. Bechtel Foundation, and was completed by a committee of volunteers from major energy research institutions in California.
This report assesses technology requirements for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in California to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 as required by Executive Order S-3-05 (2005). Details of this analysis, assumptions and data are to be found in forthcoming reports, including a detailed analyses for specific energy technologies. The present document serves to synthesize the results and present the major findings.
