• The Stone Age did not end
because of lack of stones,
and the Oil Age will end soon
and not because of lack of
oil.

Editor's Notes

  1. In the 2DS, the energy intensity of the global economy falls significantly, and demand for physical goods and energy decreases over time. Success will depend on a significant decoupling of energy use from economic activity, which could originate from 3 factors: technology development f.ex. Increased electrification of end-use sectors, coupled with decarbonisation of electricity generation Structural change f.ex. potential saturation of demand at certain levels, like residential floor area. Individual behaviour change f.ex. modal shifts in the transport sector Without this decoupling, achieving the 2DS becomes very costly, if not impossible.
