Description (excerpt):
All routes to a global net-zero economy require massive clean electrification. Scenarios developed by the ETC suggest that electricity’s share of final energy demand will have to rise from around 20% today to over 60% by mid-century. This implies an almost tripling of global electricity supply rising from today’s 30,000 TWh to around 90,000 TWh by 2050.
