Energy Productivity: Increasing efficiency in an expanded, electrified energy system

Energy Transitions Commission (ETC)'s Insights Briefing titled "Energy Productivity: Increasing efficiency in an expanded, electrified energy system", highlights a major opportunity for the world to more than double global GDP by 2050, while reducing final energy demand by 24%. As global prosperity grows, so will demand for energy services, such as mobility, heating, cooling and industrial production. But the ETC shows that energy productivity improvements from electrification, efficient appliances and smarter material use can deliver greatly expanded energy services with less energy input and dramatically reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
