Description
Achieving the net-zero emissions target as a global pathway entails a complete decarbonization of the energy sector by the middle of the century, implying that fossil fuels will play a limited role in future. West Asian countries export a large share of oil and gas, and therefore have high economic dependence on those exports. Countries in West Asia are thus trying to diversify away from fossil fuels. These countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and national strategies provide insights into the direction and scale of the mitigation options that could be used to achieve net zero for the energy sector in West Asia. In this context, this publication tries to answer the following questions: i) What can the mitigation actions defined in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Economic Diversification Plans and green growth strategies of countries in West Asia achieve in terms of CO2 emissions reductions from the business-as-usual scenario? ii) What are the key technologies that will help mitigate CO2 emissions within the three key sectors of energy, transport and industry, and how much can each sector contribute? iii) What are the impacts of mitigation actions in terms of employment and investments in the region?
