The energy transition is a necessary step in decarbonizing the economy. It entails both creating and consuming energy. The focus tends to be on swapping out power plants and thermal mobilities for solutions like renewable or low-emission sources and electrification, though it is much more than this.
This transition is a period of adaptation from an economy that depends on fossil fuels to one without a carbon footprint. It also includes efficiency improvements with smart grids, more sustainable use of renewable resources, and changes in people’s habits.
