I feel this is a misleading statistic, as cheap green (perhaps subsidised) electricity would offset more that that. The report states:
Transportation 29%: With cheap electricity I can easily imagine a huge shift to EVs within a decade.
Industry 23%: "Greenhouse gas emissions from industry primarily come from burning fossil fuels for energy".
Not sure what they mean, but energy could just as easily be created with electricity in an industrial setting.
Commercial and Residential 13%: "Greenhouse gas emissions from businesses and homes arise primarily from fossil fuels burned for heat".
Same. Heat could easily made from electricity.
So it seems to me that dirt cheap clean electricity could fix a huge chunk of our problem.
