Electricity generation is the largest contributor to The share of transport sector emissions in the overall GHG emissions in the energy sector, as is the case at energy sector emissions also grew from 12 to 19 per cent the national level. [...] However even in the BAU scenario, cent of the final energy consumption in the transport the dependence on oil in the final energy consumption sector, reaching 1.01 EJ in 2070.

[...] Interestingly, 26 per the share of the transport sector in the total electricity cent of the electricity generated by wind in 2070 is consumption is 4 per cent in the BAU scenario in through offshore wind sources, indicating the future 2070.
