Climate Protection!: A New Energy Policy?
There is an emerging planetary consensus: Climate protection is necessary. Preventing global mean temperature from rising more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels is a common goal of climate protection. In essence, it requires a stabilization of carbon dioxide emissions within the next two decades in order to approach nearly zero emissions at the end of the century. Based on an integrated assessment model, we show that climate protection implies an increasing energy efficiency, a share of 20% of renewable energy at the mid of the century, and the use of carbon capturing and sequestration (CCS) on emissions from point sources. The costs of such a scenario are estimated to be about 1.0% of the gross world product, with a strong dependency on the leakage rate of CCS and the learning rates of the renewables.
