Final energy demand in the UK has remained relatively constant since 1970s. However, most of scenarios that model pathways to achieve UK's net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 indicate reduction (EDR) will be an important pillar climate change mitigation. Despite this, Government no clearly defined strategy reduce demand. This comparative analysis explores role EDR across twelve UK-based from four organisations estimate changes carbon emission and consumption 2020 2050. We focus on...
Abstract A detailed assessment of a low energy demand, 1.5 ∘ C compatible pathway is provided for Europe from bottom-up, country scale modelling perspective. The level detail enables clear representation the potential sufficiency measures. Results show that by 2050, 50% final demand reduction compared to 2019 possible in Europe, with at least 40% it attributable various measures across all sectors. This 77% renewable share 2040 and 100% very limited need imports outside no carbon...
Low energy demand pathways may be essential for the transition to net zero. However, date, distributional impacts of these futures have been neglected, leaving open crucial questions about living standards and inequality. Using lens 'decent energy', this article begins piece together puzzle by providing a analysis recent low-energy-demand, net-zero scenario UK. We find that if UK succeeded in following low-energy pathway, but income inequality continued increasing at current rate, 9 million...
