Competitive and, of course, fully decarbonised energy system. The reason for this requirement is that energy is responsible for most of the greenhouse gas emissions, known as GHG, produced by humans. Thus, in 2050 the European Commission wants to achieve that these emissions released into the atmosphere have been reduced by more than 80 percent but without any disturbance, both towards energy supply and towards.
The competitiveness of the sector. short term effects In this plan presented by the European Union, possible scenarios are evaluated with hypotheses of different effects, challenges and opportunities derived moible number data from the modernization of the energy system , taking into account the possibility that carbon prices, technologies and networks vary. From the hypotheses that took into account the main decarbonization options.
Which are energy efficiency, renewable energy, nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage , some conclusions are drawn that could contribute to the creation and implementation of strategies reduction of carbon emissions that could be evident in 2020, 2030 and the following years. All the hypotheses of a low carbon future seem to indicate that electricity will have an increasingly important role, so energy generation.
