Smart Cities - Transition Engineering
Transition to 100% renewables using a percentage plot. This modelling was conducted for the USA.
The same plot shown with Total Primary Energy production. To achieve 80% renewable energy supply by 2050 total primary energy production must decline. The level of total primary energy production is equivalent to levels in the 1950s and 1960s.
The reason for this can be traced back to the Energy Return on Investment (EROI).
