Main findings

2050 projections of power and industrial high temperature heating sectors:

  • Projected no-action emissions based on current energy mix: 456.8 MtCO2e /year+
  • Maximum mitigation potential: 456.8 MtCO2e /year
  • Most important needle-mover is onshore wind, with investment in open field PV
  • Average cost of achieving zero emissions with only domestic measures is USD 17.77/tCO2e.
  • Of the international collaborations modelled here, green electricity trade with India and the Russian Federation present the largest benefits when collaborating with Saudi Arabia.

+Emissions are the annualized value for a 30-year project starting in 2050 (i.e., divided by 30 from the total project emissions)
