Researchers at The Solutions Project have published plans regarding what the projected energy mix could be in a range of countries in 2050, as a result of 100% use of renewable energy, www.cleantechnica.com reported on 23 June.
In the UK, onshore wind could account for 45%, followed by offshore wind at 40%. A move to use 100% renewable energy would result in the creation of more than 360,000 jobs, lasting 35 consecutive years each, in operation and construction.
Meanwhile, the top providers of energy in Japan could be solar PV plants (41.5%), onshore wind (20%) and commercial/government rooftop PV systems (13%), as a result of which 2mn jobs could be created.
