Kriegler et al. (2013) examine this using an integrated assessment model that
represents global energy use, as well as the Earth's climate and economic systems.

Gaming computers
represent only 2.5 percent of the
global installed personal computer (PC) base but account for 20 percent of the
energy use.
According to a report by the Swedish
Energy Agency, they
represent one - fifth of
global electricity
use, most of which comes from nonrenewable resources.
PowerMundo seeks to create a
global business network, marketing products that might
represent an upfront capital investment for sustainability but long - term efficiency and cost - effectiveness by either drastically cutting polluting
energy use or a total reliance on renewable power.
Heat
used for water and space heating in buildings and for industrial processes
represents almost 40 % of
global energy - related CO2 emissions; therefore, decarbonising heat remains an important challenge.
The
global Human — Earth System framework we propose, and represent schematically in Fig. 6, combines not only data collection, analysis techniques, and Dynamic Modeling, but also Data Assimilation, to bidirectionally couple an ESM containing subsystems for Global Atmosphere, Land (including both Land — Vegetation and Land - Use models) and Ocean and Ice, to a Human System Model with subsystems for Population Demographics, Water, Energy, Agriculture, Industry, Construction, and Transport

Paolo Frankl, Head of IEA's Renewable
Energy Division, commented: «Given that global energy demand for heat represents almost half of the world's final energy use - more than the combined global demand for electricity and transport - solar heat can make a significant contribution in both tackling climate change and strengthening energy security, The IEA's Solar Heating and Cooling Roadmap outlines how best to advance the global uptake of solar heating and cooling (SHC) technologies, which, it notes, involve very low levels of greenhouse - gas emis
