Energy and Greenhouse Gas Scenario Transition 2040.

In cooperation with experts from CESAR, e-think, TU Graz and TU Wien, the Federal Environment Agency is showing a path to a climate-neutral Austria. Climate neutrality 2040 requires legal, economic and social framework conditions in order to significantly reduce energy consumption, to make greater use of renewable energy sources and to decouple the development of the economy from greenhouse gas emissions. The modelling shows that by 2040, energy consumption can be reduced by 30% (based on 2020), while greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by 84%. The remaining emissions from energy and industry, agriculture and waste treatment can be offset by further reduction and compensation measures. Economic growth, employment and income are expected to have slightly positive effects.

奥地利联邦环境署联合CESAR、e-think、格拉茨工业大学（TU Graz）及维也纳工业大学（TU Wien）的专家，为奥地利迈向气候中和（climate neutrality）指明了可行路径。要达成2040年气候中和目标，需构建法律、经济与社会层面的框架条件，以大幅降低能源消耗、提升可再生能源（renewable energy sources）利用比例，并实现经济发展与温室气体排放（greenhouse gas emissions）的脱钩。模型分析结果显示，至2040年，能源消耗可较2020年基准水平降低30%，同时温室气体排放量可缩减84%。能源与工业、农业及废弃物处理领域的剩余排放，可通过进一步减排与补偿措施予以抵消。该路径预计将对经济增长、就业与居民收入产生小幅积极影响。
