Electrification could mean the world needs less energy
Original: Electrification efficiency: The world will need less energy after the transition
A new analysis argues that moving the global economy from fossil fuels to electricity would make energy systems far more efficient, so total energy demand could actually fall after the transition. Electric motors, heat pumps and EVs waste much less energy than combustion, meaning less primary energy is needed to deliver the same services.
Why now: Debates over whether decarbonisation raises or lowers future energy demand are ongoing as countries plan their transitions.
