| ABOUT CLEVER The CLEVER scenario (Collaborative Low Energy Vision for the European Region) evaluates all potentials for energy demand reduction (sufficiency and efficiency) and renewable energy development at the national and European level. It will propose an action plan to reach carbon neutrality in Europe by 2050 at the very latest, together with a 100% renewable mix. This is being achieved through an innovative bottom-up approach: the modelling starts with the definition of energy demand through sufficiency, before optimising its intensity thanks to efficiency, and finally fulfilling the production needed through renewable energies. Scenario-builders from think tanks, NGOs, universities and consultancies from 22 European countries are working on national trajectories and their European aggregation, under the leadership of the négaWatt association. A number of deliverables are already available online including project presentations, first results, a briefing note on sufficiency, or technical notes on industry, mobility, AFOLUB and the residential sector. |
