43 What's ahead. Climate protection Secure, affordable energy--without the carbon As one of the world's leading energy companies, we believe it's our responsibility to also be a leader in climate protection. By 2030, we intend to halve our specific carbon-dioxide emissions compared with the 1990 figure. To get there, we're significantly expanding our renewables capacity, investing billions in highly efficient conventional power plants, exploring opportunities to build new nuclear generation capacity, and developing new technologies that will make it possible to generate electricity from fossil fuels with almost no carbon emissions. Renewables like wind and hydro are already important ingre- dients of our energy mix. They'll be indispensable in the future because they combine climate protection and fuel independence. Right now, government incentives are necessary because they enable us to invest in renewables under competitive conditions, creating a green energy resource that benefits the environment and society in general. Going forward, our clear objective is to deploy industrial-scale solutions, which will make renewables more economic and reduce--and ultimately eliminate--the need for government support. Main Opportunities Our Strategy We're thinking ahead. The future holds two main sources of oppor- tunities: climate protection and European market integration. And that's where we're focusing a significant share of our resources. At the same time, we're making our organization less complex and significantly reducing our cost structure.
