Study on Energy Savings Scenarios 2050
This study from Fraunhofer Institute provides an assessment of national potentials for energy savings by 2050, under three different scenarios. The study includes an update of the techno-economic energy savings potentials and develops scenarios focusing on changes in life-style, the impact of digitalization of a shared economy and other “New societal Trends”. The study shows that the EU energy efficiency target for 2030 should be at least 40%.
