2 Energy turnaround and its consequences Long term energy strategies in Europe Driving factors for renewable energy Energy Turnaround: fossil energy is replaced by renewable electricity Limitations: renewable potential, end-use efficiency Main sectors of demand: buildings & mobility Roadmap of turnaround: From passive to energy active buildings and settlements From dominant centralized to predominant decentralized Need for integrated planning and restructuring with more complex energy infrastructures View to 2020 and 2050 CESBP 2013 Brauner 2

3 fossil energy demand of today [Statistic Austria] share Anteil of am fossil energetischen energy in end-use Endverbrauch traffic Verkehr; 29,9% Service Dienstl.; 10,4% Landw.; Agric. 2,9% household Haushalt; 30,3% Prod. Industry Bereich; 26,4% Anteile an Mineralölprodukten Share of oil on end-use Dienstl.; Service 3,1% Landw.; Agric. 4,0% Industry Prod. Bereich; 9,9% Verkehr; traffic 63,5% Haushalt; household 19,5% CESBP 2013 Brauner 3

4 Renewable potential is limited: Point of no return to renewable energy caused by unlimited demand Energy point of no return Demand Renewable Potential renewable fossil Point of perception of a problem Ecological Incentives Time CESBP 2013 Brauner 4

5 Reality: Electricity Generation in Austria becomes fossil biogen bio wind fossil hydro Wind thermisch hydraulisch Electrical energy in TWh/a elektrische Energie in GWh/a CESBP 2013 Brauner 5

6 Point of return to renewable: Efficiency and Energy Saving Energy point of no return Demand fossil Renewable potential point of return renewable Efficiency incentives Ecological incentives time CESBP 2013 Brauner 6
