摘要: Abstract An increasing number of mitigation scenarios with deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions have focused on expanded use demand-side electric technologies, including battery vehicles, plug-in hybrid and heat pumps. Here we review such “electricity scenarios” to explore commonalities differences. Newer are produced by various interests, ranging from environmental organizations industry an international organization, represent a variety carbon-free power generation technologies the supply side. The reviewed studies reveal that electrification rate, defined here as ratio electricity final energy demand, rises baseline scenarios, its increase is accelerated under climate policy. prospect differs sector sector, most robust for buildings sector. degree transport among because different treatment assumptions about technology. Industry does not show appreciable change rate. Relative scenario, rate often implies demand but guarantee it.
