CLEAN ENERGY FOR ALL EUROPEANS

Global and EU action to achieve the Paris Agreement

2

• Europe is already experiencing changes in weather and climate extremes

• Climate change will compound with other disruptive trends: digitalization; the emerging global middle class; demographic imbalances

• Europe needs to act leading the world in addressing the challenges

Our Vision for a Clean Planet by 2050

• The Paris Agreement, requires to reduce GHG emissions, with the objective to hold global temperature increase to well below 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C

• The IPCC report confirms that limiting climate change to 1.5°C is necessary to avoid these worst impacts. Climate change undermines security and prosperity in the broadest sense.

• For Europe, limiting temperature increase well below 2°C means 80% emissions reduction by 2050 compared to 1990.

• For Europe to lead the world in climate action, it means achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

• The Long Term Strategy shows that transforming our economy is possible and beneficial. It also highlights the challenges of the transformation, but the status quo is not an option.

Scenarios for Europe in 2050

4

• Scenarios are used for projection about demand and supply of energy (including land use) compliant with Paris targets

• 8 scenarios analyse different technology pathways (high electrification, high energy efficiency, circular economy, etc.)

• Different levels of ambition: -80% emissions and net-zero by 2050 plus a Baseline (business as usual)

Europe Today• The EU is about to

achieve its 2020 targets

• Targets for 2030 are agreed in EU law

• Business as usual means -45% GHG emissions in 2030 (vs. 1990)

• Without increasing ambition: -60% emissions in 2050

GHG targetin 2050

-80% GHG (excluding sinks)[“well below 2°C” ambition]

-90% GHG (incl. sinks)

-100% GHG (incl. sinks)[“1.5°C” ambition]

Major Common Assumptions

Power sector Power is nearly decarbonised by 2050. Strong penetration of RES facilitated by system optimization (demand-side response, storage, interconnections, role of prosumers). Nuclear still plays a role in the power sector and CCS deployment faces limitations.

• Energy use to halve between 2005 and 2050

• New buildings only 10-25% 2050 stock

• Energy performance largely determined by renovation rate

• Renovation rate (1-1,5% today) will more than double
