AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
With COP26 in full gear, there’s no better time to talk about solving the net-zero equation. One crucial component: New technologies—such as better batteries for electric vehicles, meat alternatives, or improved energy storage. These are critical to the decarbonization tool kit, since the world does not yet have everything needed to balance sources and sinks of greenhouse-gas emissions. And while research suggests that existing climate technologies, if deployed widely, could deliver 60 percent of the emissions abatement needed to stabilize the climate by 2050, what of the other 40 percent? A new article dives deep on five areas where climate technology shows promise in addressing the formidable challenge.
