Grid mixes and energy flows in 2020 and 2050 as envisioned in the Solar Futures Study. Newly electrified loads from the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors mean that the electric grid will deliver more energy in 2050. This energy will come almost entirely from solar and other zero-carbon sources.
The Decarbonization with Electrification scenario will reduce grid emissions (relative to 2005 levels) by 95% in 2035 and 100% in 2050 and replace some direct fossil fuel use in the buildings, transportation, and industrial sectors, allowing it to abate more than 100% of 2005 grid emissions.
