New UNEP report says bridging emissions gap to meet 2-degree target doable, outlines pathways to 2020

Green Car Congress

Specifically, the study reviewed 13 scenarios from nine different scientific groups. Up to 9% of total primary energy in 2020 would come from non-biomass renewable energy (solar, wind, hydroelectricity and the like). Options for reducing emissions from both sectors include improving fuel efficiency and using low-carbon fuels.
