Pathway to a Fully Sustainable Global Energy System by 2050

Abstract: We present a possible pathway to a global, sustainable energy system by 2050. This new energy scenario follows a comprehensive examination to all aspects of energy use across the entire world and the possible means of supplying this energy from the sustainable sources we have available to us. It does so, from the perspective of actual, physical activities that require energy: our industrial processes, our cars, our buildings. For each of these activities, the scenario asks the questions: • What is the minimum … Show more

“…The IPCC special report on renewable energy sources (IPCC 2011) presents four scenarios with the contribution of renewable energy sources to global electricity production, ranging from 21 to 38% in 2020. Other recently published scenarios suggest that the contribution of renewable energy sources to electricity production in 2020 could be 32% (Deng et al, 2011) or 33 to 38% (Krewitt et al, 2010). The highest estimates would lead to an extra electricity production of 4000 TWh.…”
