Electrification and renewables show accelerated growth

Abstract

Keywords:

Going forward, the energy mix rapidly shifts towards power, synfuels, and hydrogen, representing 32% of the global energy mix by 2035 and 50% by 2050.

Summery

Together, almost 200 nations have committed to curbing global warming by substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Fuel shares in total energy use in selected applications in the NZE

Indirect renewable = use of electricity and district heat produced by renewable. Other low‐carbon = nuclear power, facilities equipped with CCUS, and low‐carbon hydrogen and hydrogen‐based fuels.

The transition to renewables, efficiency and electrification can drive broad socio-economic development. The outlook’s Transforming Energy Scenario aligns energy investments with the need to keep global warming “well below 2oC”, in line with the Paris Agreement.

The GEO includes projections and historical data from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, Equinor, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Shell, and the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
