High: Policies identified by national experts to have high potential to reduce greenhouse emissions.

Unclear: Policies with unclear impact due to lack of quantifiable indicators or policy stringency.

Unknown: Policies which impact has not been analysed.

Energy service demand reduction and resource efficiency: Policies that indirectly reduce energy demand by supporting activity changes (e.g. reducing material use in manufacturing industries or developing urban planning strategies to minimize transport needs).

Energy efficiency: Policies that reduce energy consumption in the different sectors. It includes both framing policies which a goal to reduce energy consumption, such as energy efficiency targets, as well as policy options that support energy reductions.

Renewables: Policies that support the development of renewable technologies. This support might take a direct form, via subsidies or loans, or indirect e.g. by developing grid infrastructure technology, that support the integration of high share of variable electricity generation technologies.

Other low-carbon technologies and fuel switch: Policies that tackle the uptake of non-renewable low-carbon technologies and options that impose limitations on the use of emissions-intensive technologies, e.g. coal- and oil-fuelled technologies.

Non-energy: Policies that reduce non-energy related emissions. For example, policies to reduce fugitive emissions in fossil fuel production or process-related industrial emissions.

Sector

General: Cross-sectoral policies or policies that apply to any sector and that provide framing for or enable the implementation of other sectoral policies.

Electricity and heat: Policies related to energy supply and enabling infrastructure. This sector does not include policies related to mitigation of fossil fuel exploration and production.

Industry: Policies covering both energy-generation for own use and process-related emissions. This sector also includes other policies related to other non-energy emissions.

Land transport: Policies related to all modes of land transportation and infrastructure programmes that might reduce transport needs (e.g. urban planning).

Buildings: Policies that target energy-use in buildings. It also includes urban planning strategies outlining the strategy for retrofits.

Agriculture and forestry: Policies aiming to increase sustainable practice in agriculture and those targeting better forest management. Policies associated with sustainability standards for biomass used as a source for biofuels in other sectors are also included in this sector.

Policy instrument

Policy instruments provide a link between desired policy outcomes and implementation. The term refers to instruments used to put the policy in practice, e.g. subsidies or carbon pricing. The complete list of policy instrument options is provided in the About this analysis.
