What is Algeria's pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C?
Industry
Energy-related emissions from the industrial sector of Algeria increased by 32% between 1990 and 2019. Apart from the oil and gas industry, among the biggest emitters are the iron and steel, cement and chemicals, and petrochemical industries.1

Our analysis of 1.5°C compatible pathways shows that carbon emissions from industry energy use should fall by 73–79% from 2019 levels by 2030 and reach close to zero in the early 2040s. The emissions reductions could be driven by increased electrification of the sector, from 25% in 2019 to 40–42% by 2030 and 77–83% by 2050.

Graph description
1.5°C compatible CO₂ emissions pathways. This is presented through a set of illustrative pathways and a 1.5°C compatible range for total CO₂ emissions excl. LULUCF. The 1.5°C compatible range is based on global cost-effective pathways assessed by the IPCC SR1.5, defined by the 5th and 5th percentiles.

Fuel share provided refers to energy demand only from the industry sector. BECCS are the only Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies considered in these benchmarks.
Only direct CO₂ emissions are considered (electricity, hydrogen and heat emissions are not considered here; see power sector for emissions from electricity generation). All values are rounded. Year of full decarbonisation is based on carbon intenstiy threshold of 5gCO₂/MJ.
