At 358 million tonnes of CO equivalent, the energy sectorÃ¢ÂÂs emissions in 2014 were about 23 percent below 1990 levels (466 million tonnes of CO equivalent). GermanyÃ¢ÂÂs 2015/16 Projection Report shows that, if the climate measures already agreed Ã¢ÂÂ including the Climate Action Programme 2020 and the National Action Plan on Energy Efficiency Ã¢ÂÂ were systematically implemented, emissions could fall to approximately 295 million tonnes of CO equivalent by 2020 (such as by about 37 percent compared with 1990). CLIMATE ACTION PLAN 2050 / CABINET RESOLUTIONGuiding principle for 2050 and transformation pathway Renewables will be the principal source of energy in the future. The energy demand of buildings, transport and industry will drop sharply as a result of increas- ingly efficient use of energy.
