The source provides the following information "The Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario depicts a narrow but achievable pathway for the global energy sector to reach net zero energy-related CO₂ emissions by 2050 by deploying a wide portfolio of clean energy technologies and without offsets from land-use measures. It recognises that achieving net zero energy sector CO₂ emissions by 2050 depends on fair and effective global co-operation, with advanced economies taking the lead and reaching net zero emissions earlier in the NZE Scenario than emerging market and developing economies. This scenario also achieves universal modern energy access by 2030, consistent with the energy-related targets of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The NZE Scenario is consistent with limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C (with at least a 50% probability) with limited overshoot."

Projected passenger car COâ‚‚ emissions worldwide in the net zero scenario 2010-2050
Global passenger car emissions reached **** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCOâ‚‚) in 2023. This represents an overall increase of ** percent when compared to 2010 levels. Under the IEA's Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050 scenario, emissions from passenger cars would fall to almost *** MtCOâ‚‚ by 2040, and less than 100 MtCOâ‚‚ by mid-century.
