An increase in economic activity does not necessarily result in an equivalent increase in energy demand.There is still a large potential for exploiting energy efficiency measures. Even under the Reference Scenario, we assume that energy intensity will be reduced by about 1.0% per year, leading to a reduction in final energy demand per unit of GDP of about 40% between 2003 and 2050. Under the Energy [R]evolution Scenario, it is assumed that active policy and technical support for efficiency measures will lead to a further significant reduction in energy intensity of almost 75%.
