PWC: Business as usual verdubbelt de co2 uitstoot in 2050

Hierbij de link van het PWC rapport waar ik al eerder over had. Ik was toen nogal krititsch over de mogelijke reductie mogelijkheden. Zie het beeld hieronder van co2 uitstoot met ongewijzigd beleid en gewijzigd beleid.



Volgens PWC zijn er dus twee extreme scenario's:

"A baseline scenario in which energy efficiency improves in line with trends of the past 25 years, with no change in fuel mix by country; this ‘business as usual’ scenario acts as a benchmark against which to assess the need for change, rather than as a forecast of the most likely outcome;
and
A scenario called Green Growth + CCS, which incorporates possible emission reductions due to a greener fuel mix, annual energy efficiency gains over and above the historic trend, and widespread use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Of the scenarios considered in the report, only this ‘Green Growth Plus’ strategy stabilises atmospheric CO2 concentrations by 2050 at what the current scientific consensus suggests would be broadly acceptable levels."
