The influence of stringent climate policy on production of primary energy resources is shown in Figure below. Climate policy leads to a major shift from a system mostly based on fossil fuels to an increase in the use of nuclear power, renewable energy, bioenergy and {{abbrTemplate|CCS}} technology, with a correspondingly lower reliance on fossil fuels. The choice of these alternative options depends on assumptions made in the model, as shown in the scenarios in the study [[Roads from Rio+20 (2012) project|Roads from Rio+20]] ([[PBL, 2012]]). Three pathways based on different initial assumptions emphasise different combinations of primary energy carriers, each time within a stringent emission constraint.
