To make meaningful emission reductions, the aim should be to reduce the energy intensity of the entire energy system as a whole.

Sector specific decarbonisation is a good start but decarbonisation policy and projects should be harmonised across all of the major economic sectors - industrial, transport, residential, etc.

Further, no single low carbon technology can work in isolation. Intermittent solar and wind power must work in tandem with dispatchable forms of electricity generation like combined cycle gas-fired generation.
