Description (excerpt):
A holistic view on the energy system is required, and the Energy Scenario presented in this study provides exactly that: a holistic view on the energy system accounting for all sectors, all regions, all carrier forms.
The key question we pose is this: “Is a fully sustainable global energy system possible by 2050?”
We have found that an (almost) fully sustainable energy supply is technically and economically feasible, given ambitious, but realistic growth rates of sustainable energy sources. However, the path to this future world will deviate significantly from ‘business as usual’ and a few (difficult) choices will need to be made on the way; choices which we will discuss in this report.
