Technology potential 1.5 2.2 1.8 2.5 2.1 3.5
Technology potential – with today's electricity supply 1.5 1.5 1.8 2.5 1.5 2.0
Technology potential and changed organisation 1.6 2.4 2.0 2.9 2.7 4.6
Combined potential 1.8 2.6 2.3 3.6 3.1 5.7

The factor reductions were calculated as the ratio between today's consumption of materials and energy and emissions of CO2 and the levels that could theoretically be reached in the light of the assessment of the potentials. The assessment of the levels that it would be theoretically possible to reach are based on such dissemination of the technological possibilities and such altered forms of organisation as are discernible today – together with the projection of future rise in the demand for transport.
