Net Zero by 2050 Still Remains Possible With Rapid Renewables Expansion, Says IEA
- The International Energy Agency has stated that record growth in clean energy technology, such as solar panels and electric vehicles, offers hope in limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius . However, achieving this goal will require significant efforts, including tripling renewable capacity, doubling energy efficient infrastructure, increasing heat pump and electric vehicle use by 2030.
- The IEA emphasizes the importance of an equitable transition to net zero, with advanced economies reaching net zero sooner than developing economies. In order to avoid damaging price spikes or supply gluts during the energy transition, continued investment in existing oil and gas assets and already approved fossil fuel projects will be necessary.
- To achieve the goal of holding global temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoid the worst impacts of warming, a substantial reduction in emissions is required by 2035. This includes an 80% decline in emissions from 2022 levels in developed countries and a 60% decline in developing countries. Measures such as ramping up renewables, improving energy efficiency, cutting methane emissions, increasing electrification, and rapid progress on carbon capture and storage are necessary.
