EU Commitment
Reduce economy-wide domestic EU GHG emissions by 80-95% in 2050 compared to 2005 In March 2011, the Commissions Climate Roadmap stated that GHG emissions in the power sector need to fall by 93-98% to reduce overall emissions by 80% If zero carbon emissions must be achieved in the power sector by 2050, reality is that no new carbon-emitting power plant can be built after 2015 because of the long lifetime of power stations The Commission will follow up in second half 2011 with an Energy Roadmap to 2050
