Wind and solar benchmarks for a 1.5°C world - Developing national-level benchmarks to achieve

21 Nov 2023

and equitable way to displace fossil fuels and make 1.5°C possible Comprehensive research is needed on the required levels of WnS installations globally to meet the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement and what this means in terms of scale & speed of ambition at the national level. [...] • How much WnS specifically needs to be built • Where does it need to be built, and • When does it need to be built by? Wind and solar benchmarks for a 1.5°C world Overview Technologies: Wind and solar power Test different approaches and methods Units: Generation and capacity Develop a methodology to determine Years: 2030, 2040 and 2050 DEFINE SCOPE Paris-compatible wind and solar benchm. [...] Integrate differentiated timelines for phasing out electricity generation from FF, applied as safeguards (2035 for advanced economies, 2040 for China, and 2045 for emerging economies) We take the wedge comprised in the overlap between national studies and downscaled global trajectories, limited to the part below the evidence-based safeguard Wind and solar benchmarks for a 1.5°C world Clean electri. [...] The result of the subtraction is equivalent to electricity generation from wind and solar High-ambition national studies Wind and solar benchmarks for a 1.5°C world WNS breakdown and capacity calculation 1. [...] Growth relaxes in 2030s/40s, but is still substantial The fast roll-out is needed to drive fossil phaseout and meet the rapid electrification There are differences in the deployment dynamics between countries, driven by differences in the rate of WnS deployment required to align with 1.5ºC and comply with national targets Wind and solar benchmarks for a 1.5°C world Stay tuned!
