Global fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions are projected to peak in 2025 at some 39 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) on a current global pathway of announced policies, projects, industry trends, and expected technological advancements. They would steadily decline over the following years and drop to 37.4 GtCO₂ by 2030. Under this pathway, global power sector emissions would peak in 2022 and fall to less than 13 GtCO₂ by 2030.
