- The Energy Report: 100% Renewable Energy by 2050
- A February report by the World Wildlife Fund concluded that 95% of global energy demand can be met with renewable sources using developed or evolving technologies. “The Energy Report: 100% Renewable Energy by 2050” indicates the steps to realize its vision, where bio-energy is used as a last resort. The effort would cost $3.5 trillion euros by 2035 in order to modernize buildings and electricity grids, as well as expand wind farms and solar parks. Despite the growth of population, industrial output, freight, and transportation, energy savings can decrease demand by 15% from the 2005 level.
