Whilst worldwide emissions of CO2 will almost double under the Reference Scenario, under the Energy [R]evolution Scenario they will decrease from 24,350 million tonnes in 2005 to 10,600 m/t in 2050. Annual per capita emissions will drop from 3.7 tonnes to 1.15 t. In spite of the phasing out of nuclear energy and increasing demand, CO2 emissions will decrease in the electricity sector. In the long run efficiency gains and the increased use of renewable electricity will even reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector.
