The Energy [R]evolution Scenario describes how to reduce worldwide emissions by 50% below the 1990 levels by 2050, with per capita carbon dioxide emissions reduced to less than 1.3 tonnes per year so as to stabilise the increase in global temperatures at +2ºC.
A second objective is to show that this is even possible with the global phasing out of nuclear energy.
The energy [r]evolution scenario is therefore characterised by significant efforts to exploit the large potential for energy efficiency; at the same time it shows that implementing cost-effective, abundant renewable energy sources will make an energy [r]evolution possible and undeniable.
