TL;DR: A LUT Energy System Transition Model is utilized to indicate that a carbon neutral electricity system can be built in all global regions in an economically feasible way but requires evolutionary changes for the following 35 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the technical feasibility and economic viability of 100% renewable energy systems including the power, heat, transport and desalination sectors and provide an energy transition pathway that could lead from the current fossil-based system to an affordable, efficient, sustainable and secure energy future for the world.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of PV in the global energy transition based on respective scenarios and a newly introduced energy transition model developed by the authors, and a progressive group of energy transition scenarios presented results of a fast growth of installed PV capacities and a high energy supply share of solar energy to the total primary energy demand in the world in the decades to come.

TL;DR: In this article, the LUT energy system transition model is used to simulate a cost-optimised transition pathway towards 100% renewable energy in the power sector by 2050, which is based on hourly resolution for an entire year, the world structured in 145 regions, high spatial resolution of the input renewable energy resource data, and transition steps of 5-year periods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a simple tool for monitoring the past, present and future development of national power systems towards sustainability based on a detailed global power capacity database and a new sustainability indicator has been introduced for a better monitoring of progress in the power sector.
