The following figure compares the cumulative CO ² emissions curve for the lower cases (gas predominance) with the emissions under the baseline scenario from the DGENER report Energy trends to 2050. Under predominant use of gas over coal, total CO ² emissions until 2035 are lower for both visions than those under the DGENER’s trajectory. The green scenario would mean a 12% reduction until 2035 of emissions for power generation compared to the DGENER scenario.
