Wind and Solar PV, together with electrification, would account for almost half of global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission reductions from 2030 through 2050 in the IEA's Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE Scenario). These mitigation measures, along with other low-emissions technologies and behavioral changes, would provide CO₂ savings of 26.3 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) during this period.
