Giga-ton and tera-watt scale challenges at the energy - climate crossroads: A global perspective

Abstract

Energy related CO2 emissions from fossil fuels constitute nearly 80 % of the global greenhouse gas emissions and are largely responsible for effecting climate change. There is imminent need to reduce emissions and decarbonize the energy economy. Renewables and nuclear are the only carbon-free energy options. However, the pace of renewable deployment lags the rate needed to achieve net-zero by 2050. Also, fossil fuels are expected to continue to dominate the energy landscape into the foreseeable future.
