Abstract

Development of the low-emission energy technologies including renewable energy sources, electric vehicles, and energy storage facilities make up the core of global carbon neutrality scenarios. These technologies stand out by their increased materials intensity, in particular that of energy-intensive materials: steel, aluminum, polymers, silicon, copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt. The article introduces a method for calculating and assessment of the global energy consumption to sustain carbon neutrality scenarios. Currently, the infrastructure of the low-emission economy consumes 0.4% of the world’s energy. By 2050, this should increase by almost 20 times and exceed the current energy consumption of metallurgy and the construction materials industry.
