assumptions for fossil fuel phase out More than 80% of the
current energy supply is based on fossil fuels. Oil dominates
the entire transport sector; oil and gas make up the heating
sector and coal is the most-used fuel for power. Each sector has
different renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies
combinations which depend on the locally available resources,
infrastructure and to some extent, lifestyle. The renewable
energy technology pathways used in this scenario are based on
currently available “off-the-shelf” technologies, market
situations and market projections developed from renewable
industry associations such as the Global Wind Energy Council,
the European Photovoltaic Industry Association and the European
Renewable Energy Council, the DLR and Greenpeace International.
In line with this modelling, the Energy [R]evolution aims to map
out a clear pathway to phase-out oil and gas in the long term.
This pathway has been identified on the basis of a detailed
analysis of the global conventional o
