How energy efficiency cuts costs for a 2 degree future

This research paper examines the impact of energy efficiency (EE) on the costs of achieving the internationally agreed 2°C target by 2050, specifically estimating global cost savings up to 2030 by comparing an energy-efficient pathway against an energy-intensive pathway focused on energy supply decarbonization.

• The study finds that scenarios incorporating higher levels of energy efficiency generally result in lower abatement costs for limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
