Abstract:

Following the industrial revolution, greenhouse gases continue to grow, and this increase degrades the ozone layer and accelerates the global warming. The climate change has considerably transformed our way of life and the way we produce, buy, transport, and use energy. To reduce the impact of the energy crisis different levers are activated such as energy efficiency, renewables energy and energy sufficiency. The aim of this article is to explore the benefits, limitation, deployment, and opportunities in Europe of energy sufficiency.  The research conducted also includes real case studies on energy sufficiency. Furthermore, Covid-19 pandemic and Ukraine war have negatively impacted energy availability and costs.
