Abstract
Successful net zero governance calls for the fundamental reshaping of energy law, but it is not always receptive to changes required by decarbonization. If energy law's restrictive effects emerging from the field's legal traditions are not properly acknowledged and addressed, they may hamper the achievement of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 in the energy sector.
