Energy Transition

Energy transition is a key change in the way that we generate and consume energy in our societies, shifting from fossil sources to renewable energy sources, as well as improving the energy consumption through the implementation of energy efficiency measures. The last is of pivotal importance to move towards net-zero carbon emission societies and to help achieve the global greenhouse gas emissions concentration required to stay below 2°C or closer to 1.5 °C by 2100.

On the energy supply side, it is critical to speed up the investment rate to deploy renewable energies worldwide. Moreover, optimal investment in renewable energy technologies as well as in novel technologies is needed, if the aim is to achieve a total energy transition by 2050.

On the demand side, it is crucial to reduce/optimize the use of energy. Therefore, it is imperative to boost energy efficiency worldwide, where governments and companies play a pivotal role on the implementation of EE measures.
