  15. 24/05/2017 The ZCB Scenario demonstrates • 82% of the time, the supply of renewable electricity exceeds demand (including heating and transport). • 18% of the time, electricity supply does not fully meet demand. • Short-term storage & load shifting can reduce this from 18% to 15%. • Biogas & “carbon neutral synthetic gas” in power stations cover this. • Management of supply and demand with a 100% renewable energy system is possible with existing technology Synthetic gas storage = Demand met 100% of time 15

  17. 24/05/2017 Land use today • 65-70% = food production/agriculture (despite 42% imports). • 85% of agricultural land = livestock. • About 12% = forest (European average = 37%). 17

In 4 key sectors – Buildings, land use, energy & transport and the wider cross cutting themes 30
