======Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector====== Global energy-related and industrial process CO2 emissions fall to around 21 Gt in 2030 and to net-zero in 2050 in the Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE).\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ ^ Quick Facts ^^ |Report location: |[[https://www.iea.org/reports/net-zero-by-2050|source]] | |Language: |English | |Publisher: |[[encyclopedia:international_energy_agency|International Energy Agency]] | |Publication date: |October 1, 2021 | |Authors: |multiple (36) | |Time horizon: |2050 | |Geographic focus: |Global | |Page count: |224 | =====Methods===== Coal demand declines by 90% to less than 600 Mtce in 2050, oil declines by 75% to 24 mb/d, and natural gas declines by 55% to 1,750 bcm. The fossil fuels that remain in 2050 are used in the production of non-energy goods, in plants with carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and in sectors where emissions are especially hard to abate.\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Key Insights===== Total energy supply falls by 7% between 2020 and 2030 in the NZE and remains at around this level to 2050. Solar PV and wind become the leading sources of electricity globally before 2030 and together they provide nearly 70% of global generation in 2050.\\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>2021_publication_year}} | {{tag>2050_time_horizon}} | {{tag>2050s_time_horizon}} | {{tag>English_publication_language}} | | {{tag>carbon_emissions}} | {{tag>global_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>net_zero}} | {{tag>sustainable_bioenergy}} | {{tag>decarbonization}} | ~~DISCUSSION~~
