In the coming
30 years, it will be crucial that the world's energy systems be
made
environmentally benign and sufficient to meet everybody's energy
needs. We have better technologies than ever before to use energy
efficiently, and to use the world's renewable energy resources without
harming the environment.
INFORSE's
Vision2050 programme shows how we can change the world's unsustainable
energy system into a sustainable
one. According
to this Vision, 100% sustainable energy can be achieved by 2050.
INFORSE Sustainable Energy Visions available:
The Global
Vision2050 is described on the INFORSE homepage,
and at INFORSE's page on VisionWorld. EU
Visions and
several individual
country Visions are available on the INFORSE-Europe's Vision2050
homepage.
In Africa, scenarios
for 100% renewable energy are under development for Kenya and Uganda in
the framework of the of the EASE & CA project in
2020-21.
The Kenya
100 % Renewable Energy Scenario by 2050 (pdf,
2 MB) was
launched on September 3, 2020 at an online
event organised by Suswatch Kenya in coopeartion with INFORSE Secretariat
and INFORSE-East Africa. Read more on the event at suswatchkenya.org/100-renewable-energy-plan-for-kenya-by-2050/

Tools to Developing National Visions
The INFORSE
Vision2050 Scenarios are facilitated by a a speadshheet tool developed
by INFORSE-Europe. The series of spread sheets tool can be used
to make energy balances decade by decade, illustrating a possible development
2000-50.
With inputs in the form of a current energy balance and trends for development
in energy service demand, energy efficiency, fuel shift and development
of renewable energy, it is possible to make possible future energy balances,
following the Vision2050. The tool also calculates CO2 emissions.
The latest scenarios are also facilitated with the modul of the EnergyPlan
developed by the Aalborg University.
The
speadsheet tool is available free to INFORSE members and cooperating
networks. If you are interested in more information about the tool,
and eventually to use it, please contact
INFORSE att. Gunnar Boye Olesen, at ove@inforse.org.
