4 Case Study 1: Choice of Energy Generation Technologies
Using DSS
Access to modern energy services will require a combination of electricity and
modern fuels and technologies. At the global level, the energy system—supply,
transformation, delivery and use—is the dominant contributor to climate change,
representing around 60 % of total current GHG emissions. Current patterns of
energy production and consumption are unsustainable and threaten the environ-
ment on both local and global scales. Emissions from the combustion of fossil
fuels are major contributors to the unpredictable effects of climate change, and to
urban air pollution and acidification of land and water. Reducing the carbon
intensity of energy is a key objective in reaching long-term climate goals.
The huge potential for conserving energy resources, and also protecting the
environment, can be tapped through efficient energy consumption in households
and public buildings. The International Energy Agency reckons that up to 29 % of
global energy consumption in households goes to heating, 17 % to cooling, 14 %
