15 Electricity is decarbonizing Growth of solar PV and wind by % 24% 36% By 2050, well over 80% of electricity will be generated by renewable sources with wind and solar PV each contributing over one third of the mix. During the outlook period, solar PV will grow 80-fold and wind (combined offshore and onshore) 30 fold.

18 Hydrogen (H 2 ) H 2 does not emit greenhouse gases during processing, transport and burning, and can store energy from renewable sources in fuel cells It is currently unclear if H 2 will become a major zero-carbon energy carrier Uncertainties include: technology learning curves future cost developments the strength of political support Knowledge of diffusion and combustion risks.

19 European Electricity Capacity: massive scale and overcapacity
