With a quick penetration of renewable energy sources in the electricity generation mix, emissions from the sector quickly decrease. The CO2 intensity of electricity generation (ratio of the CO2 emissions by the electricity generated) drops to below 60 gCO2/kWh almost everywhere, in our EnerBlue scenario (NDCs & announced pledges).
