CO2 intensity of electricity generation

Carbon content of power generation will drop substantially in all world regions, with a reduction by 90% at global scale over 2023-2050.

Carbon content of power generation will drop substantially in all world regions, with a reduction by 90% at global scale over 2023-2050.

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 50 gCO2/kWh in many countries, in our EnerBlue scenario (NDCs & announced pledges).
