A new analysis by the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) suggests the drop in energy consumption was the highest since Second World War and was followed by a 12% fall in carbon dioxide emissions.

The findings also show the sharp decrease in oil and coal demand pushed the share of fossils in the energy mix to its lowest level since 1961.

The report also finds that imports of low carbon technologies increased by 27%, a rise that was mainly driven by battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries – taken together, these products covered 56% of total low carbon products imports last year.

That we are on the path to a low-carbon future is beyond doubt. Despite disagreements among stakeholders and how we might get there, and the pace of change required there seems to be a broad unity in the long-term vision. We know we need an energy portfolio that both meets the needs of a growing population that is predicted to grow by 1.5 billion by the end of the century and satisfies the ever-increasing living standards of the existing populace.
