Total Renewability is the strategy for creating a fully zero-carbon energy infrastructure for Europe located entirely within the European land and nearby sea area.

Europe has the capability, both technological and economic, to shift all energy use within its own region, for all end-uses, in transport and manufacturing, commercial and domestic, onto a renewable basis.

This could be pursued by the nations of Europe without waiting for the world’s other governments to agree to act.

Only if solar and wind energy platforms were located upon the high seas could Europe become free of non-renewable energy sources.

Energy storage in the form of hydrogen would provide the all-renewables energy system with the flexibility of supply that a modern economy demands.

An extensive development of energy efficiency and conservation would have a large role to play in realising the total-renewability model.

The model would allow for the high level of energy consumption per person that is essential to maintaining a modern high quality of life.

Total Renewability requires an exponential expansion in public transport, the widespread use of electric automobiles and the restriction of aviation to inter-continental flights.
