Nuno Bento, researcher at DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte, helps us reflect on the current state of affairs regarding the energy transition, warning us: without looking at the demand side, “the share of renewables in final consumption will grow more slowly and the transition will become more expensive”.

The energy crisis should serve to accelerate the ecological transition and revise transport policy, according to DINÂMIA'CET-Iscte researcher Nuno Bento. However, that is not what is happening.

A new study published in Science argues that governments must adopt three integrated targets for energy demand by 2035, stating that climate policy will fall short if it focuses solely on how energy is produced and continues to neglect how it is utilized. The study was led by Nuno Bento, researcher at DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte.
