ABSTRACT: The energy transition has
become an increasingly attractive and necessary issue nowadays because of the tendency
of scarcity and increased demand for fossil energy, and associated environmental
impacts—for example, increased emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly
CO2, CH4 and N2O. From the study of several papers
and reports from various international agencies like the World Energy Council (WEC),
the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Policy Network for Renewable Energy (REN)
and the World Organization of the United Nations (UN), this paper analyzes the global
energy context, making a survey of what is being discussed under the theme “energy
transition”, and suggests ways to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, aiming
at sustainability.
