Mexico - Estudio sobre la disminucion de emisiones de carbono

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