Citi today published a report titled Energy Darwinism III The Electrifying Path to Net Zero Carbon outlining how much more carbon we can put up in the atmosphere and understanding where those emissions come from, as a premise to tackling climate change.

Key Points: 
  • Citi today published a report titled Energy Darwinism III The Electrifying Path to Net Zero Carbon outlining how much more carbon we can put up in the atmosphere and understanding where those emissions come from, as a premise to tackling climate change.
  • Unfortunately, this isnt tomorrows problem at current rates of carbon emissions we could hit the carbon budget in 10 to 15 years.
  • If the scientists are right, we need to start reducing emissions, and we need to start doing so now.
  • We need to be targeting net zero emissions by 2050, and then actually looking to go net negative in the second half of this century, which will require entirely new (and exciting) forms of carbon removal technology.
