An electrified and resilient future beyond fossil fuels

The Energy Transitions Commission identifies clean electrification as key to moving away from fossil fuels. By mid-century, electricity's share of energy demand is projected to rise from 20% to over 60%, mainly from wind and solar. Fossil fuels are expected to drop from about 70% to below 20%, with the rest supplied by hydrogen, bioenergy, and carbon capture. 

This brief note explains:

• How the efficiency of electrification delivers more useful energy whilst growing GDP
• The key sectoral opportunities for electrification decreasing fossil fuel reliance
• The resulting impacts: reduced exposure to fossil fuels associated volatility
• Actions to accelerate deployment of key solutions and technologies
