In the share of fossil fuels in primary energy consumption.

The share of fossil fuels is expected to substantially decrease globally, almost halving to reach 41% in 2050.

In our EnerBlue scenario, in line with NDCs and country pledges, the share of fossil fuels will quickly drop by 2050 down from a historical average of 79% worldwide. The decline is particulary pronounced in Europe where fossil fuels are becoming more and more marginal, while other regions are achieving a balanced mix of fossil fuels and carbon-free sources.
