Disruptive innovation, stranded assets and forecasting: the rise and rise of renewable energy

Jemma Green, Peter Newman · 2016 · Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment

Summary. Renewable energy combined with battery storage exhibits the three defining features of disruptive innovation: it occupies an expanding niche, grows exponentially, and creates stranded assets in fossil fuel infrastructure. The paper forecasts that renewable energy with storage will exceed current capacity projections and could meet 100% of global energy demand by 2050 under various scenarios, fundamentally transforming energy systems over the next three decades.
