Moving from principles to action for energy supply that mitigates against climate change requires a long-term perspective. Energy infrastructure takes time to build up; new energy technologies take time to develop. Policy shifts often also need many years to take effect. In most world regions the transformation from fossil to renewable energies will require additional investment and higher supply costs over about twenty years

transport

Development of the transport sector is characterised by the diversification of energy sources towards more efficiency. Under the Energy [R]evolution scenario energy demand reduction of 6205 PJ/a can be achieved by 2050, saving 60% compared to the Reference scenario.This reduction can be achieved by the introduction of highly efficient vehicles, by shifting the transport of goods from road to rail and by changes in mobility-related behaviour patterns.

A slight shift towards smaller cars triggered by economic incentives together with a significant shift in propulsion technology towards electrified power trains and a reduction of vehicle kilometres travelled by 0.25% per year leads to significant final energy savings. By 2030, electricity will provide 13% of the transport sector’s total energy demand in the Energy [R]evolution, while in the advanced case the share will already be 14% in 2030 and 47% by 2050.
