| description |
One of the most compelling reasons for
pursuing low-carbon development is that the potential
impacts of climate change are predicted to be severe, for
both industrial and developing countries, and that reducing
greenhouse gas emissions can reduce the risk of the most
catastrophic impacts. The challenge of reducing emissions is
sobering: leading scientific models indicate that limiting
the rise in global mean temperatures to less than two degree
Celsius will require that global greenhouse gas emissions
peak within the next 10-15 years and then fall by 2050 to
levels about 50 percent lower than in 1990. Although many
countries recognize the need to curtail carbon emissions,
there is considerable uncertainty about how much this will
cost in individual countries, what measures can be
undertaken in both the short and longer term, and how
cost-effective specific interventions are in reducing
emissions. This study analyzes a range of energy efficiency
options available in Mexico, including supply-side
efficiency improvements in the electric power and oil and
gas industries, and demand-side electricity efficiency
measures addressing high-growth energy-consuming activities,
such as air conditioning and refrigeration. It also
evaluates a range of renewable energy options that make use
of the country's vast wind, solar, biomass, hydro, and
geothermal resources. |
