**The global pathway to net zero emissions by 2050 detailed in this report requires all governments to significantly strengthen and then successfully implement their energy and climate policies.** Commitments made to date fall far short of what is required by that pathway. **In this Summary for Policy Makers, we outline the essential conditions for the global energy sector to reach net zero CO****2** **emissions by 2050.** The pathway described in depth in this report achieves this objective with no offsets from outside the energy sector, and with low reliance on negative emissions technologies. **The path to net zero emissions is narrow: staying on it requires immediate and massive deployment of all available clean and efficient energy technologies.** In the net zero emissions pathway presented in this report, the world economy in 2030 is some 40% larger than today but uses 7% less energy. The transition to net zero brings substantial new opportunities for employment, with 14 million jobs created by 2030 in our pathway thanks to new activities and investment in clean energy.

A roadmap to 2050: tracking progress of key energy system indicators to achieve the global energy transformation Progress that is needed for key indicators to achieve the REmap Case Notes: 1) TFEC – total final energy consumption; 2) Utility and distributed solar PV total additions (new as well as repowering); 3) Onshore and offshore wind total additions (new as well as repowering); 4) Passenger cars exclude 2/3 wheelers, buses and other electric mobility transport modes; 5) Heat pump estimates based on available data; 6) Includes conventional and advanced biofuels – ethanol, biodiesel and biojet; 7) Modern renewables excludes traditional uses of biomass, which are observed in non-OECD countries in the buildings sector for cooking, space heating, etc., 8) Energy efficiency intensity is measured in terms of primary energy use divided by GDP, this shows the amount of energy required to generate one unit of GDP – improvements of that measure are shown here; 9) Stationary battery storage includes batteries deployed along with decentralised PV systems as well as utility-scale batteries; 10) Fossil fuel demand includes non-energy uses.

The value of EV and battery trade surges to $880 billion by 2035 up from $234 billion in 2024 under BNEF’s core Economic Transition Scenario, which assumes that clean-technology cost declines continue advancing at the pace they have in recent years and that no new major climate-related policies are adopted by governments. For its part, the EU’s energy-related trade deficit shrinks 29% by 2035, mainly owing lower crude oil imports and higher EV exports, though competition with China for global vehicle markets will be fierce.

# Making Clean Electrification Possible: 30 Years to Electrify the Global Economy. In its new report ***Making Clean Electrification Possible: 30 Years to Electrify the Global Economy***, the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) states that massive clean electrification will be the primary route to decarbonisation, complemented by hydrogen in the harder-to-abate sectors. The rapidly falling costs of renewables and storage solutions make it possible to achieve the required massive expansion of clean power systems at low cost, according to the report. This report is part of the ETC’s wider ***Making Mission Possible Series*** – a series of reports outlining how to scale up clean energy provision within the next 30 years to meet the needs of a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) economy by mid-century.

The IEA Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE Scenario) translates the 1.5 °C goal into a global pathway for the energy sector. The updated NZE Scenario is based on four central pillars that are widely applicable: clean energy electrification, energy efficiency, low-emissions fuels and methane abatement. * The installed capacity of renewables increases nearly fourfold from today’s level by 2035 in the NZE Scenario: nuclear and other low-emissions technologies increasingly contribute as electricity demand grows to account for one-third of all energy consumption. In the NZE Scenario, emissions fall by nearly 55% by 2035 to around 18 Gt. Yet, the increase in long-term global average temperature exceeds 1.5 °C around 2030 and peaks at around 1.65 °C about 2050. The NZE Scenario achieves the COP28 goals of doubling efficiency and tripling renewables capacity by 2030, and it meets the Paris Agreement goal of holding warming well below 2 °C throughout the 21st Century. In the NZE Scenario, the global average temperature increase falls back below 1.5 °C by 2100.
