Open Futures LibraryEngage with a Library of scenarios The Neo-Carbon Energy world is a radical transformation towards renewable energy and responsible lifestyles. It is a preferred future, empowered by foresight approach and proactive futures creation, resulting in robust futures resilience.
To help the Dutch gas sector to prepare itself for the next fifty years, what is a robust long-term sustainable strategy?
Two scenarios have been considered
in this briefing :
1. Advanced international
policies scenario (AIP)
The assumptions in this scenario are based on
ambitious growth rates for renewable energy
sources that need additional support measures
in order to be reached.Dynamic current policies scenario (DCP)
Dynamic current policies does not mean “business as
usual”. Assuming that a “business as usual” is seen as
impossible for a sustainable future by a lot of decision
For all these reasons, Europe must prepare the ground for a 100% renewable
energy future, starting today. RE-thinking 2050 outlines a pathway towards a
100% renewable energy supply system by 2050 and clearly shows that it is not
a matter of technology, but rather a matter of making the right choices today to
shape tomorrow. The challenge ahead of us is huge, but we have no choice if we
want to act responsibly towards future generations. “We do not inherit the Earth
from our ancestors: we borrow it from our children”.1
