Résumé

As the food system consumes around 15% of global fossil fuels, moving from oil and gas to electricity is essential for decarbonisation. However, few studies consider energy transitions across multiple supply-chain stages in an integrated manner. This study quantifies the GHG impacts of shifting energy use from oil and gas to electricity in the food supply chains of ten European countries under two scenarios: Business as Usual (BAU) and Low Emission (LE), representing a full fossil phase-out by 2050. Fuel reductions were estimated using Coefficient of Performance (COP) analysis, electricity demand calculated across eleven supply-chain stages, and resulting emissions derived. The results indicate strong cross-country heterogeneity: while the LE scenario delivers substantial absolute reductions in high-emitting countries despite only moderate unit abatement intensities (e.g. Germany: 31.6 → 19.2 MtCO₂, 2019–2050), Poland experiences rising emissions (38–40 MtCO₂) under both scenarios due to a carbon-intensive electricity mix.
