Renewable electricity can facilitate climate change mitigation in the buildings, industry and transport sector via direct electrification or indirect electrification, that is, converting to hydrogen-based fuels. While is generally energy efficient, partially build upon existing applications infrastructure. However, their roles relative importance have not been well researched scenarios. Here, we derive plausible ranges for both strategies based on EU neutrality scenarios using REMIND model....
Abstract Evidence suggests that lifestyle changes are a crucial aspect in the design of decarbonisation strategies towards achievement Paris Agreement’s goals. However, most mitigation scenarios developed with Integrated Assessment and Energy System Models often lack reliable representation changes, therefore modelled pathways overlook intricate interplay between impacts behavioural change climate policy instruments. This study addresses this critical gap by introducing methodological...
Abstract The UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate target require a holistic transformation towards human well-being within planetary boundaries. However, there are growing debates on how to best pursue these targets. Proposed strategies include market- technology-driven green-growth, shifting sufficiency-oriented post-growth economy, driven primarily by strong government action. Here we quantify three alternative pathways (SDPs), Economy-driven Innovation, Resilient...
Climate change necessitates a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while adapting increased climate risks. This broader transition will involve large-scale interventions including renewable energy deployment, coastal protection and retreat, enhanced space cooling, all of which result in CO 2 from materials use. Yet, the magnitude embedded these remains unconstrained, opening potential for underaccounting conflicts or synergies between mitigation adaptation goals. Here, we use...
Abstract The European Green Deal aims to guide the Union towards achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by implementing a comprehensive set of policy initiatives and legislation. While emission reduction targets policies up 2030 are mostly implemented, it is high priority for EU legislation spell out further transformation climate neutrality defining interim 2040. Here we explore, based on an integrated energy-economy-climate model with sector detail, pathways achieve in under...
