A Global Roadmap for Autogas
Mitigating climate change
As well as improving air quality, achieving the vision of doubling the global market share of Autogas by 2040 would also make a significant contribution to lowering emissions of CO2 and combatting climate change. We calculate that, on a WTW basis, emissions of CO2 from LDVs would fall by o.3% for the world in the Alternative Scenario relative to the Baseline Scenario.
But for some regions, the fall in emissions is more significant: close to 1% in Europe and Eurasia. The cumulative reduction in CO2 emissions between 2018 and 2040 totals around 130 Mt – equal to the current total annual CO2 emissions of Algeria from all sources. The bulk of the savings come from Asia-Pacific, Eurasia and Europe (Figure 14).
