What is Peru's pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C?
Industry
The industry sector contributes 13% of Peru’s GDP (2016) and has therefore an important role in the national economy. Emissions from industrial processes were 3% of Peru’s total emissions in 2016. The sector’s emissions come mainly from the construction sector, primarily the mineral industry with cement and lime production, followed by a small percentage of emissions coming from the production of chemicals and metals.1 The recently approved National Industry Policy aims to boost industrial development in the country and seeks to increase its contribution to the economy by 2030. Main measures include the promotion of technology improvements and productivity, and financial incentives.

Electricity accounted for more than 40% of industrial energy consumption in 2019. Under 1.5°C compatible pathways, the share of electricity increases to up to 53% by 2030 and over 80% in 2050. The sector could reach full decarbonisation between 2035 and 2037.

Direct CO₂ emissions only are considered (see power sector for electricity related emissions, hydrogen and heat emissions are not considered here).

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.
