Can renewable energy counter the effect of climate change?

Scientists estimate that by keeping the CO2 concentration scenario, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by 90% by the 2070s in the energy sector. - i.e. practically abandon fossil fuels. Summarizing the 1200 mitigation scenarios, it is concluded that one of the most important steps is to increase energy without CO2 in total energy production by at least 3-4 times by 2050. This requires the development of renewable energy and increasing energy efficiency.

Renewable energy remains the only clean and reliable source of energy. Among other non-CO2 sources, the report also mentions nuclear energy and CO2 capture and storage technologies, but it does not neglected the huge risks and costs associated with these technologies. At present, energy security in Lithuania and in Europe will also be strengthened by the development of local renewable energy.
