Decarbonising the energy system by 2050 could save trillions - new Oxford study
Historical costs and production of key energy supply technologies (A) Inflation-adjusted useful energy costs (or prices for oil, coal, and gas) as a function of time. We show useful energy because it takes conversion efficiency into account (see Document S1 section “End-use conversion efficiencies”). Electricity generation technology costs are levelized costs of electricity (LCOEs). Battery series show capital cost per cycle and energy stored per year, assuming daily cycling for 10 years (these...
