The Energy Transitions Commission outlines in a recent report three steps for a net-zero future. They argue the first step should actually be to focus on efficiency and reducing consumption. See https://www.energy-transitions.org/publications/making-missi... for details.

No, no it doesn’t.

> In its new report Making Mission Possible – Delivering a Net-Zero Economy, the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) shows that clean electrification will be the primary route to decarbonisation, complemented by hydrogen, sustainable biomass and fossil fuels combined with carbon capture. It urges governments, investors, corporates and civil society to work together to accelerate the deployment of zero-carbon solutions before 2030 to put mid-century targets within reach.

The first step:

> Speed up the deployment of proven zero-carbon solutions – governments, investors and corporates need to work hand-in- hand to build up massive capacities of zero-carbon power generation to enable the clean electrification of the economy.

The focus is on generation, not reducing consumption.
