Climate Plan Depends on Energy Saving, Carbon Storage, IEA Says

Any plan for halving global greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 will depend on cutting the energy used by buildings and vehicles and on developing technology to capture and store pollution, the International Energy Agency said today.

More energy-efficient buildings and cars could provide 38 percent of the carbon dioxide cuts necessary, and “should be the highest priority in the short-term,” according to an IEA report.
