<strong>CARBON</strong> REDUCTION POTENTIAL<br />
Non-Renewable Resources is the second<br />
most carbon-intensive SICS sector. If the least<br />
carbon-efficient companies achieved the<br />
median level it would cut sector emissions<br />
by 28%, saving 483 million tonnes of carbon<br />
dioxide a year, roughly equivalent to the<br />
annual emissions of Saudi Arabia. 30 Royal<br />
Dutch Shell, Siam Cement and Rio Tinto are<br />
among 31 companies disclosing complete<br />
data in this sector.<br />
The Resource Transformation sector has<br />
the potential to achieve the third greatest<br />
savings in emissions and the greatest<br />
percentage reduction. If the least carbonefficient<br />
companies achieved the median<br />
level it would cut sector emissions by 54%,<br />
saving 193 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a<br />
year, half the annual emissions of Australia. 31<br />
Mitsubishi Electric Corp, Siemens and General<br />
Electric are among 46 companies disclosing<br />
complete data in this sector.<br />

Figure 12 shows the 11 SICS sectors in<br />
order of their potential to reduce absolute<br />
carbon emissions, if every company with an<br />
emissions intensity greater than the median<br />
value were to achieve the same level as the<br />
median company within the sector.<br />
FIgure 13 shows the 11 SICS sectors ranked<br />
in order of their potential to reduce carbon<br />
emissions relative to total emissions intensity<br />
for the sector, under the same scenario as<br />
Figure 12 and Table 4. The emissions-intensity<br />
reduction potential is shown by calculating<br />
the emissions that could be saved if every<br />
company with an emissions intensity greater<br />
than the median value were to achieve the<br />
same level as the median company within the<br />
sector.<br />
Figure 14 displays country level emissions<br />
figures that these reductions can be<br />
compared to.<br />
