Sectoral transformations towards deep decarbonisation Sample Clauses

Sectoral transformations towards deep decarbonisation. ‌ The first session of the conference was chaired by Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (E3-Modelling) and focused on the sectors hard to decarbonise: transport and industry. Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx (E3-Modelling) presented "Decarbonising the EU transport sector: Options and challenges". Transport needs to undergo a ground-breaking transformation to reduce its emissions by 90% by 2050. On the one hand, road transport could be decarbonised mostly through electricity and hydrogen. In fact, electro-mobility has already taken off significantly in Northern and Western Europe but the development of recharging infrastructure should become a short-term priority for the EU. On the other hand, aviation and maritime transport greening would rely mainly on bio- and synthetic fuels. For these sectors, mandates and energy efficiency measures would be critical to xxxxxx decarbonisation. The second speaker Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research) focused on "the CO₂ reduction potential for the European industry via direct electrification". Her paper reviews the technologies, energy savings and decarbonisation potential via the electrification of heat supply for 11 industrial sectors. Xxxxxx concluded that electrification could reduce CO2 emissions up to 78%, though this would necessitate a doubling or tripling of the industry electricity use. In view of this, to offer a viable solution the electricity would need to be decarbonised and its consumption smart and efficient. In addition, electricity should be competitive with stable scenarios, clear carbon prices, and reduced taxes and levies. Responding to the chicken-and-egg problem of EVs and charging infrastructure raised by the discussant Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment), Xxxxxxxxx explained that increased demand in the market has been a key driver of EV uptake in some countries. Still, public funding will be needed to develop the infrastructure in Southern and Eastern Europe before the public engages. Reversing Xxxxxx's question, "is the industry prepared?", Xxxxxx asked how to ensure both electricity and industry move hand in hand. Xxxxxx argued that electricity should be prioritised, but low hanging fruit in the industry should be seized quickly. The audience raised the question of the land-use assumptions in the modelling for the development of biofuels.
