Industrial decarbonization is a daunting challenge given the relative lack of low-carbon
options available for “hard to decarbonize” industries such as iron and steel, cement, and …

Despite three decades of political efforts and a wealth of research on the causes and
catastrophic impacts of climate change, global carbon dioxide emissions have continued to …

Abstract Achieving the Paris Agreement will require massive deployment of low-carbon
energy. However, constructing, operating, and maintaining a low-carbon energy system will …

Thanks to fast learning and sustained growth, solar photovoltaics (PV) is today a highly cost-
competitive technology, ready to contribute substantially to CO 2 emissions mitigation …

Wind energy has experienced accelerated cost reduction over the past five years—far
greater than predicted in a 2015 expert elicitation. Here we report results from a new survey …

Chapter 3 takes a long-term perspective on climate change mitigation pathways. Its focus is
on the implications of long-term targets for the required short-and medium-term system …

The rapid uptake of renewable energy technologies in recent decades has increased the
