Material limits of Spain’s energy transition

science

Spain faces a paradox in its energy transition: while renewable energy deployment can expand rapidly, a new study finds this growth remains unsustainable without corresponding reductions in overall material and energy consumption. According to Physics World, the material footprint of expanded renewable infrastructure requires us to rethink not just where we get energy, but how much we actually use.
