Energy requirements and carbon emissions for a low-carbon energy transition

A. Slameršak, G. Kallis, et al.

This research investigates the energy requirements and emissions associated with 14 low-carbon mitigation pathways required to meet the Paris Agreement goals. Conducted by Aljoša Slameršak, Giorgos Kallis, and Daniel W. O'Neill, the study reveals an initial net energy decline and significant transition emissions that could consume the remaining global emissions budget by 2050.
