Exploring Energy Sufficiency Benefits, Limitations, Deployment, and Opportunities in Europe

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.
