Full energy sector transition towards 100% renewable energy supply: Integrating power, heat, transport and industry sectors including desalination

Dmitrii Bogdanov et al.

Summary: The transition towards long-term sustainable energy systems by 2050 requires the elimination of greenhouse gas emissions in all energy sectors and close coupling of these sectors for maximum efficiency. The research showcases a tool for modeling this complex energy system transition, with results from Kazakhstan showing that a 100% renewable energy system by 2050 is possible despite challenging conditions. The integration of sectors enables additional flexibility and efficiency, with the potential to significantly reduce CO2eq emissions by 2050.
