More Electricity Required to Achieve Net Zero Emissions
To achieve the IEA Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, all sectors would need to increase the percentage of their final energy consumption that is in the form of electricity (as opposed to directly burning fossil fuels).
Line chart showing the projected increase in electricity use across the transport, industry, and buildings sectors to achieve the IEA Net Zero Emissions by 2050 target. The chart highlights how each sector must transition from fossil fuels to electricity, requiring a higher percentage of their total energy consumption to come from clean electricity sources.
