Energy [R]evolution

Our Energy [R]evolution outlines a global plan for a sustainable renewable economic future. It shows us how we can get from where we are now, to where we need to be to avoid a climate change disaster. It was developed with specialists from the Institute of Technical Thermodynamics at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and more than 30 scientists and engineers from universities, institutes and the renewable energy industry around the world.

YOU CAN BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION. TAKE ACTION AND GET INVOLVED.

Our climate needs an Energy [R]evolution. Take action for the climate. Signup for Greenpeace email updates:

The Energy [R]evolution uses a three step approach:

Step 1: Electrical efficiency

• Exploit all technical potential for electrical efficiency
via technical standards

Step 2: Structural changes

• Change the way we produce energy in large centralised power stations towards a decentralised energy system, using large-scale renewable resources that use locally available energy sources such as wind, sun or geothermal
• Cogeneration – end the huge amounts of waste energy via cooling towers

Step 3: Energy-efficient transport

• Build up efficient public transport systems
• Implement efficient cars, trucks, etc.
