May 11, 2021

Dolf Gielen – Director, IRENA Innovation and Technology Centre, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)

Several steps must be taken to achieve net-zero by 2050, write three experts from the International Renewable Energy Agency.

Annual energy intensity improvements must rise from 1.2% in recent years to around 3%.

Electric vehicle sales need to grow from 4% to 100% of all vehicle sales.

Hydrogen demand needs to increase five-fold, from 120 Mt to 613 Mt.

Renewable power, electrification and circular economy play a key role.
