The report “Roadmap 2050” of the European Climate Foundation (ECF), institution created three years ago to study the human effects on climate and ways of living, indicates that governments and companies of the area must invest in Europe around of 50.000 millions of Euros a year during the next 15 years to reduce an 80% the emissions of greenhouse effect gases by 2050.
The paper indicates that the policies must focus into taking into action measures of energy efficiency, that save costs and reduce the demand, and in the need of investment in regional electrical nets and local intelligent nets. For this reason, sets out the coordination of the market operations between the countries members of the European Union (EU), with the objective of maximizing the worth of the investments in low carbon emission infrastructure, and minimizing the requirements of reserve centrals and the system equilibrium, all of this sustained by the market’s reform that ensures a long-term incentive for investors.
The needed infrastructures will have to be constructed in order to generate the electricity that will be required by 2050 because the current ones, excluding hydroelectric ones, have ended their life cycle, ensured Jules Kortenhorst, executive director of ECF, during the presentation of the study. Nevertheless, to accomplish this objective it is necessary to act before 2015, because in this way more efficient costs can be achieved. Also, the report demonstrates that the objective of reducing emissions to an 80% is possible from the financial perspective.
