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

primary energy consumption

Taking into account the assumptions discussed above, the resulting primary energy consumption under both Energy [R]evolution scenarios is shown in Figure 6.31. Compared to the Reference scenario, overall primary energy demand will be reduced by about 31%, and 34% in the advanced version, by 2050. Latin America’s primary energy demand will increase from 22,513 PJ/a to 28,339 PJ/a (27,311 PJ/a in the advanced version). Under the advanced Energy [R]evolution scenario a share of around 88% of the remaining energy demand will be covered by renewable sources.
