Whilst the OECD Pacific’s emissions of CO2 will increase by 20% under the Reference Scenario, under the Energy [R]evolution Scenario they will decrease from 1,900 million tonnes in 2005 to 430 m/t in 2050. Annual per capita emissions will fall from 9.5 tonnes to 2.4 t. In the long run efficiency gains and the increased use of renewable electricity in vehicles will even reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector. With a share of 45% of total CO2 in 2050, the power sector will remain the largest source of emissions.
