The state could improve if development paths include activities/measures to result in GHG emission reduction.
The greatest benefit with mitigation scenarios is related to energy sector. Namely, relative increase of emission in this sector is reduced to 14% under the second mitigation scenario as a result from the introduction of gas based plants for combined production, reduced consumption of electricity for the value of major consumers and increased use of renewable energy sources. Currently, the Government of the Republic of Macedonia works on the development of the National strategy for comprehensive energy development by 2025 with a vision by 2050 and National strategy for renewable energy sources. The Second National Communication on Climate Change has been adopted.
With regard to other sectors, the result in waste sector is notable, where the relative increase of 6% under the baseline scenario is brought to negative relative increase (-13%) under the two mitigation scenarios; this means that the GHG emission values for 2005 under the mitigation scenario amount 13% less compared to the corresponding values for 2008, due to the introduction of technology for landfill gas combustion at several landfills in the country. Other sectors contribute insignificantly to total emission reduction, considering that relative difference between baseline and mitigation scenarios ranges between 2 and 4%.
