An increase in economic activity and a growing population does notnecessarily have to result in an equivalent increase in energydemand. There is still a large potential for exploiting energyefficiency measures. Under the Reference Scenario, energy intensitywill be reduced by 1.25 percent on average per year, leading to areduction in final energy demand per unit of GDP of about 56percent between 2005 and 2050. Under the Energy [R]evolutionScenario, it is assumed that active policy and technical support forenergy efficiency measures will lead to an even higher reduction inenergy intensity of almost 73 percent.
