Seoul- 19 April 2012 South Korea’s energy supply could switch to nearly 60% renewable by 2050, phasing out nuclear power by 2030, creating jobs, reducing the cost of energy and generating massive savings in electricity supply, according to a new study done by Greenpeace International .
Greenpeace today launched The Energy[R]evolution scenario for Korea, an in-depth study and model of an energy future for South Korea, carried out by Institute of Technical Thermodynamics at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), with Greenpeace International and the European Renewable Energy Council. The local Korean partners were Energy Alternative Forum (EAF) and Korea Federation for Environment Movement (KFEM).

Budapest, 16th November 2011 – Greenpeace, specialists of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) developed a blueprint how Hungary could phase-out nuclear power and reduce its dependence on fossil fuel imports while decreasing CO2 emissions and creating more green jobs. The Progressive Energy [Revolution] scenario [1], published today, provides a practical pathway towards a fully sustainable energy system until 2050.

Abu Dhabi - 9th May 2011 - Canadians could save billions of dollars while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating thousands of jobs if the country plots a new energy strategy that turns away from the oilsands industry, says a new report to be released on Thursday.
OTTAWA September 8 - Canadians could save billions of dollars while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating thousands of jobs if the country plots a new energy strategy that turns away from the oilsands industry, says a new report to be released on Thursday.
Berlin, 7 June 2010 – The renewable power industry could support 8.5 million jobs by 2030 (1), if governments seize the opportunity to invest in a greener future, according to one of the most comprehensive plans for future sustainable energy provision launched today by Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC).
2nd of November 2009, Istanbul- Is it possible for an economy to continue to grow while protecting the climate? Greenpeace and EREC’s Turkey Energy [R]evolution report, which is launched today on the brink of Copenhagen Summit answers “yes” to this crucial question. The report draws for the first time in Turkey a scientific roadmap for the future of the country’s energy sector until 2050. According to the report, if Turkey chooses to switch to renewable energy sources and to take strong measures for energy efficiency, the energy costs will be cheaper in the mid-term.
Johannesburg, 12 October 2009 – Aggressive investment in renewable power generation and energy efficiency could provide three quarters of South Africa’s electricity by 2050, slashing over 200 million tons of CO2 emissions annually, the equivalent of 10 coal-fired power stations, and protecting the climate. According to a new study launched by Greenpeace in Johannesburg today, such a move could also lower the country’s electricity bill by US$ 46 billion.
Canberra, Australia, 14 September 2009 – The renewable power industry could support 6.9 million jobs by 2030, if world leaders seize the opportunity to invest in a greener future by securing a strong treaty at December’s Climate Summit in Copenhagen, according to a report launched today by Greenpeace International and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC).
11 May 2009 (Ottawa) – Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) released a new report today detailing a revolutionary green energy scenario for Canada that could cut this country’s greenhouse gas emissions dramatically by 2020.
The report, entitled Energy [R]evolution: A Sustainable Canada Energy Outlook, concludes that available green energy technology, if implemented immediately, can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the Canadian energy sector 45 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, and 82 per cent by 2050.
Delhi, March 24th 2009 - As the country goes into elections, the issue of "bijli", continues to be a high priority for the aam admi. Greenpeace releases the second version of the 'Energy [R]evolution: A sustainable India Energy Outlook" and calls for political will to back solutions for India's energy that is secure, technically feasible and sustainable in a climate challenged world.
March 11, 2009 WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Greenpeace, the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC), and Dr. Joseph Romm of the Center for American Progress today released a report commissioned from the German Aerospace Center (the German equivalent of NASA) that shows how the United States can meet the energy needs of a growing economy and achieve science-based cuts in global warming pollution – without nuclear power or coal. The report, entitled “Energy [R]evolution,” is co-authored by Greenpeace and EREC and includes a foreword by Dr. R.K. Pachauri, chairman of the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Brussels, 2 December 2008 - A Greenpeace-commissioned report presented today demonstrates how Europe can significantly reduce its emissions while strengthening its economy, if EU leaders boost the ambition of the climate and energy legislative package which they are due to finalise over the coming days.
Berlin, 27 October 2008 – Aggressive investment in renewable power generation and energy efficiency could create an annual USD 360 billion industry, providing half of the world’s electricity, slashing over USD 18 trillion in future fuel costs while protecting the climate, according to one of the most comprehensive plans for future sustainable energy provision launched today.
Canberra, Monday June 16, 2008 - Greenpeace today called on the Federal Government to commit Australia to produce 40% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020.
The call comes following the release of a groundbreaking report, Energy [R]evolution Scenario: Australia, which shows that Australia’s energy sector can be transformed to achieve massive cuts in CO2 emissions. The Energy [R]evolution Scenario: Australia uses modeling by Greenpeace and Dr Hugh Saddler from Canberra-based company Energy Strategies.
It shows that by 2030 Australia can be powered by renewable energy sources with solar, wind, geothermal and ocean power supplying more than half of Australia’s electricity needs. This, combined with using some gas as a transitional fuel, means that coal – the dirtiest fossil fuel – can be entirely phased out by 2030.
Aomori / Tokyo 7 June 2008 – Today’s publication of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) latest energy forecast, timed to coincide with the start of the G8 Energy Ministers meeting, should be welcomed for its recognition that half the world’s energy could be supplied by renewable sources by 2050 said Greenpeace. However, the IEA’s vision of increasing nuclear power by a factor of four and relying on carbon capture and storage to meet greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets should be rejected as an expensive and dangerous distraction.
Jakarta, 27 November 2007 - Indonesia can produce more than 60 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources by 2050 making the country less dependent on imported fossil fuels and allowing for cheaper electricity, according to a new report authored by Greenpeace, the Engineering Center University of Indonesia and European Renewable Energy Council. It also calls on the Indonesian government to embrace a low-carbon alternative for the development of its energy sector ahead of the United Nations Climate change conference in Bali.
Delhi/Beijing/Amsterdam, 7 November 2007 - New projections of energy consumption in China and India, released today by the International Energy Agency (IEA), fail to adequately incorporate options for substantially expanding renewable energy and improving energy efficiency in either country, according to Greenpeace.
According to the IEA's figures, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for both countries combined could more than double to 14.7 billion tones by 2030, about fifty five per cent of the current global emissions.
Savings of US $180 billion per year predicted in first global analysis of renewables versus fossil fuels
Amsterdam/Brussels, 6th July 2007: Investing in a renewable electricity future will save 10 times the fuel costs of a “business as usual” fossil-fuelled scenario, saving $180 billion USD annually and cut CO2 emissions in half by 2030, according to a joint report by Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) released today.
