- energy supply is influenced by the 'scale' of the requested energy services and the overall efficiency with which these services can be provided. Technical improvements and structural changes are expected to result in considerably lower emissions than otherwise would be projected. As many low cost options to improve the overall energy efficiency are already part of the non intervention scenarios the additional opportunities to decrease energy intensity in order to mitigate climate change are limited. In order to achieve ambitious climate protection goals, for example, stabilization below the aforementioned 2°C global mean temperature change, energy efficiency improvements alone do not suffice. In addition, low carbon technologies become imperative. There are large uncertainties in projections, including economic and population growth, development and deployment of higher efficiency technologies, the ability of RE technologies to overcome initial cost barriers, preferences, environmental considerations and other barriers.
