Good progress has been made in decarbonising power generation, however there has been limited success in reducing emissions from the heating, transport and industrial sectors. Although electrification (using low carbon technologies) was expected to provide substantial carbon reduction in these sectors, it is increasingly clear that to meet net-zero targets molecules as well as electrons will need to be decarbonised. As a result, industry and financiers must start embracing new and disruptive technologies to support the transition to a net zero economy.","PeriodicalId":119577,"journal":{"name":"Alternative Fuels—The Future of Hydrogen","volume":"260 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132587917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
