Navigating Energy Transitions: Mapping the road to 1.5°C

The report 'Navigating Energy Transitions: Mapping the road to 1.5°C' analyzes various climate and energy pathways to determine the requirements for limiting global warming to 1.5°C. It focuses on the necessary phase-out of fossil fuels, the scale-up of renewables, and the impact of the war in Ukraine on energy systems, specifically regarding Europe's reliance on Russian gas.

• To align with 1.5°C-compatible energy scenarios, global oil and gas production needs to be reduced by a minimum of 65% by the year 2050. The development of new oil and gas fields is identified as a barrier that would either make limiting global warming to 1.5°C impossible or result in the creation of stranded assets.
• Investments currently planned for new oil and gas through 2030 are sufficient to fully fund the expansion of solar and wind energy required to meet the 1.5°C warming limit.
• Europe possesses enough existing gas import capacity to satisfy its 1.5°C-compatible energy requirements starting in 2024. Consequently, the continent can and must fulfill its energy needs without relying on Russian gas supplies from 2024 to stay within the 1.5°C limit.
