Main findings
2050 projections of power and industrial high temperature heating sectors:
-
Projected no-action emissions based on current energy mix: 274.3 MtCO2e /year+
-
Maximum mitigation potential: 274.3 MtCO2e /year
-
Most important needle-mover is onshore wind.
-
Brazil has an average saving of achieving zero emissions with only domestic measures of USD 46.6/tCO2e (shown as a negative “additional cost”) compared to its BAU no action scenario.§
-
In international collaboration, onshore wind and PV energy are essential technologies for reducing system costs. Ammonia storage and export capacity also play a significant role, providing flexibility in meeting energy demands and reducing reliance on costlier domestic resources.
+Emissions are the annualized value for a 30-year project starting in 2050 (i.e., divided by 30 from the total project emissions)
§A negative value for cost of achieving net zero with only domestic measures implies that BAU-No Action scenario assuming current energy mix leads to a more expensive system than when investing in zero-carbon power generation for this country. Please see Country-specific notes on Methodology - National and Collaboration Modelling (STEVFNs) section below for detailed information on assumptions leading to this result.
