The results International Energy Agency (IEA), Teske/DLR scenarios are each reproduced. Additionally, five new trajectories, called LUT, presented. research examines feasibility scenario across nine major regions in 5-year intervals, from 2015 to 2050, under uniform environment with identical technical financial assumptions. main differences between paths identified across: (1) average generation costs; (2) diversity; (3) flexibility; (4) security; and, (5) dynamics. All LUT transitioned zero CO2 emissions 100% renewable by 2050 at latest. Results reveal that least-cost pathways, while centred around diversity slightly higher LCOE 10–20%.
