Carbon content of power generation will drop substantially in all world regions

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 drops to below 50 gCO2/kWh in many countries, in EnerBlue scenario (NDCs & announced pledges). A few countries succeed in completely decarbonising their production.
