Electrification could cut global energy use in half
Professor Jan Rosenow states the current system wastes two-thirds of energy inputs as heat, so electrification could halve total global energy demand. The discussion covers 95-97% recyclability of battery materials in the context of urban mining.
- Field
- energy and batteries
- What they did
- Electrification could cut global energy use in half because the current system is inefficient and wastes two-thirds of energy inputs as heat, particularly in mobility and heating sectors.
- Why it matters
- This would help reduce global energy demand by addressing the hidden 80% of energy consumption currently dominated by fossil fuels and improving overall energy efficiency.
