How energy efficiency cuts costs for a 2 degree future

The study evaluates the impact of energy efficiency (EE) on the costs of achieving the internationally agreed 2°C target by 2050. It specifically compares the global cost savings up to 2030 of a pathway emphasizing EE measures against one that focuses primarily on decarbonizing the energy supply.

• Analysis of numerous scenarios aligned with the 2°C target by 2050 suggests that pathways incorporating higher levels of energy efficiency generally result in lower abatement costs.
• Energy efficiency is considered essential for limiting greenhouse gas emissions, yet it is frequently overlooked in favor of efforts to decarbonize the energy supply.
