nuclear power; lower electricity demand from more efficient end-use<br />

electrical appliances, motors and other equipment; and lower demand from<br />

more efficient coal-fired power plants. Compared with the Reference<br />

Scenario, steam coal imports are 49 Mtce less in 2030 in the Alternative<br />

Policy Scenario. The decline in coking coal imports, owed to efficiency<br />

improvements in the production of iron and steel, accounts for 48 Mtce by<br />

2030.<br />

Environmental Implications<br />

Local Pollution<br />

Emissions of local pollutants are substantially lower in the Alternative Policy<br />

Scenario (Figure 18.3). The largest decrease is in SO 2<br />

emissions, which are 27%<br />

lower in 2030, compared with the Reference Scenario. Emissions fall faster<br />

than coal use – the main source of SO 2<br />

– as a result of equipping more plants<br />

with sulphur scrubbers. Emissions fall also because of greater use of ultra-lowsulphur<br />

diesel in transport. Total SO 2<br />

emissions reach 12 million tonnes in<br />

2030, compared with 16.5 million tonnes in the Reference Scenario. NO x<br />

emissions are 23% lower. Most of the decrease comes from the power and<br />

transport sectors. PM 2.5<br />

emissions fall slightly faster in the Alternative Policy<br />

Scenario than in the Reference Scenario, mainly in the residential and power<br />

sectors.<br />
