"When Australia’s Chris Bowen and Turkey’s Murat Kurum unveiled their “35 by
35” flagship target at Bonn this month – raising electricity’s share of global
Final Energy from around 20 per cent today to 35 per cent by 2035 – it was the
most consequential framing decision in years of climate talks
After years of climate negotiations dominated by vague fossil fuel phase-down
language, here was something concrete: a number, a date, a technology pathway.
Electrification as the organising frame for decarbonisation. This is
unambiguously the right direction.
But the metric they’ve chosen – electricity as a percentage of Final Energy –
is the wrong ruler. And picking the wrong ruler yields the wrong measure. It
can actively drive you toward the wrong decisions."
