The Paris Agreement clearly and strongly signaled to the energy sector that a transition to a low-carbon economy is now an irreversible trend. Decarbonizing energy systems by the second half of the century is a common objective for all INDC. Advanced economies must face the challenge of unlocking the long-lived, high-emission infrastructure, most of which need to be replaced or remo
