Global Renewable-Based Electrification Pathways and Its Long-Term Scenario Analysis

doi:10.11930/j.issn.1004-9649.201902114

Abstract

Abstract: To meet the deep-decarbonisation need of a clean energy transition, the paper is dedicated to working out a blueprint of a renewable-based electrification future, in almost every aspects from its pathways to the potentials and benefits. Also the challenges it faces in industry, transport, and building sectors are analyzed and recommendations are proposed to cope with them in policy, technology, and market aspects. According to the results, it is not only technically feasible but also economically and socially beneficial to implement such a renewable-based electrification.

Key words: renewable energy, electrification, pathway, long-term scenario, end-use application
