Fossil fuels and low-carbon energy sources are intrinsically linked as the primary targets for substitution in the global energy transition, as described in [1], [2], and [3]. Policies and strategies aim to replace the former with the latter to reduce environmental impact and dependence, as supported by [4], [5], [6], and [7], while addressing economic disparities like subsidies mentioned in [8].

Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org 5 facts
claimSustainable energy transitions require the formulation of effective policies that promote biomass resources, increase the use of renewable and low-carbon energy sources, and penalize or discourage the use of fossil fuels and unsustainable natural resource practices.
claimSubstituting polluting fossil fuels with renewable and low-carbon energy sources provides environmental and socioeconomic benefits, including the creation of jobs and social capital.
procedureSustainable energy transition measures include shifting from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon sources, implementing efficient conversion technologies, electrifying transport using renewable electricity, and adopting energy conservation measures to eliminate unnecessary demand.
claimFossil fuels are the primary class of energy sources causing severe environmental pollution and are the main target for substitution with renewable and low-carbon energy sources.
claimRenewable and low carbon energy sources improve power supply, enhance long-term access and utility in energy production, decrease dependence on fossil fuels, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to Rathor and Saxena (2020a) and Nguyen et al. (2020).
Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels - CEBRI cebri.org 3 facts
claimA second critical avenue for the energy transition is to level the playing field between fossil fuels and low-carbon alternatives, specifically regarding price signals, which includes a comprehensive reform of inefficient fossil fuel subsidies.
claimEnergy transition readiness is defined as a country’s ability to replace fossil fuels with low-carbon solutions at scale and competitively, while maintaining the same level of energy services.
perspectiveCatavento argues that scaling up low-carbon alternatives across both energy production and consumption is an indispensable condition for a just, orderly, and equitable transition away from fossil fuels.
