Efficiency measures account for 2/3 of the 3.8Gt abatement in 2020, with renewables contributing to 1/5. With substantial abatement potential outside the OECD+ region, financing will hold a key to the energy sector meeting a carbon-constrained trajectory Scenario Reference Scenario Gt Efficiency – 57% Renewables/ Biofuels – 23% Nuclear – 10% CCS – 10% OECD+ Other Major Economies Other Countries Efficiency – 45% Renewables/ Biofuels – 21% Nuclear – 13% CCS – 20% Efficiency – 67% Renewables/ Biofuels – 19% Nuclear– 8% CCS – 6% Efficiency – 55% Renewables/ Biofuels – 34% Nuclear – 9% 3.8 Gt 13.8 Gt WorldBy region 7 World abatement of energy-related CO 2 emissions in a Carbon-constrained outlook World abatement of energy-related CO 2 emissions in a Carbon-constrained outlook © OECD/IEA
