Figure displays shift in emissions over time with LMT heat electrification. Onsite LMT emissions become Scope 2 grid emissions. Scope 2 estimates use eGRID 2023 factors (for 2026) and NLR Cambium 23 “Mid-case with 95% decarbonization by 2050” (for 2027-2050) (see Footnote 5). Colored bars represent Scope 2 emissions differences between electrification technology scenarios, with EE+ denoting energy efficiency scenarios (see Table 2 for definitions). Results reflect the average of optimistic and conservative cases and assume constant production levels to 2050.
