This is clearly unsustainable. In fact, in a CO2 constrained world, we will need to achieve massive reductions in CO2 emissions to 2050. In ETP’s “BLUE” scenario, we identify ways to achieve a 50% reduction in energy-related CO2 emissions to 2050 from across different sectors. Though transport is perhaps the most difficult sector to address, we find it must provide deep cuts like other sectors. Without transport cuts, the best we can do is keep CO2 roughly constant into the future. Not good enough. In BLUE, transport achieves a 30% reduction in CO2 in 2050 compared to its 2005 levels ( a 70% reduction compared to 2050).
