Transition of Ukrainian energy sector towards 100% RES in 2050. Report of the ASET project

The scenario of the Ukrainian energy sector transition towards 100% RES by 2050 was prepared within the project “ASET – Strengthening civil society to advocate for sustainable energy transition (more on the website of the project coordinator: INFORSE – EUROPE).

Within the ASET project, the experts of the NGO “Renewable Energy Agency” developed scenarios for the possible development of the energy sector of Ukraine till 2050: Baseline scenario, Climate Action scenario and High Commitment Scenario on 100% RES.

Baseline scenario represents the “continuation of current trends” case without additional efforts and targets introduced in energy sector. Climate action scenario represents

Climate action scenario represents a full implementation of climate obligations of Ukraine and even stricter potential obligation of Paris Agreement: -70% of emission reduction in 2050 from 2015 level, which corresponds to the trajectory of keeping the global temperature increase within 2ºC.

100% RES scenario is representing “highest possible efforts” towards energy transition to RES with the indicative target of 100% RES in power, heating/cooling, and transport sector and zero fossil component in 2050.

Public presentation of the scenario of Ukrainian energy sector transition towards 100% of renewable energy sources by 2050 was held on September 20 2017 within the International Conference “BIOMASS FOR ENERGY 2017”.
