The scale of the opportunity for low-carbon technologies is mind-boggling. Eliminating emissions from a global energy system that today is 80% dependent on fossil fuels will require multiple low-carbon sources of energy to be developed, and fast. The US$70 trillion of investment that we estimate is up for grabs over the next three decades to … Continue reading Breakthrough technologies for the energy transition
