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

In an area of major indigenous oil resources, transport is currently powered 100% by fossil fuels. Under the Energy [R]evolution scenario, rising prices, together with other incentives, lead to a projected share for renewable electricity of 43% in this sector. Highly efficient electrified cars – plug-in-hybrid and battery vehicles – contribute a total of 20% in energy savings, although the car fleet is still projected to grow by a factor of five by 2050. By 2030 electricity will provide 5% of the transport sector’s final energy demand in the Energy [R]evolution scenario, while in the advanced case the share will already reach 10% in 2030 and 67% by 2050.
