development of CO2 emissions

Whilst emissions of CO2 will increase by 11% under the Reference Scenario, under the Energy [R]evolution Scenario they will decrease from 2,380 million tonnes in 2005 to 540 m/t in 2050. Annual per capita emissions will drop from 7.0 tonnes to 1.8 t. In spite of the phasing out of nuclear energy and increasing demand, CO2 emissions will decrease in the electricity sector.
