Conclusions
Even with ongoing cost reductions, government policy remains crucial to attract investment in
renewables, ensure appropriate market design and reliable & cost-effective system integration
Modern bioenergy will continue to lead renewables growth in the next five years and its untapped
potential remains huge particularly in China, India, Brazil and the EU
Further accelerating the use of modern bioenergy hinges on policies & incentives to foster
innovation and on rigorous sustainability frameworks
Greater use of solar, wind, bioenergy & other renewables – together with energy efficiency & other
clean energy technologies – is needed in all sectors for emissions to peak rapidly then decline - Electrification of end-use sectors
- Better alignment of energy efficiency and renewable energy policies
- Enhanced direct renewable heat uses
- Stronger renewables penetration in industry, including through hydrogen-based fuels & feedstocks
