Confusion or Diffusion in Energy Transition?

Paul Hobcraft

There is this compelling and urgent need to accelerate low-carbon technology innovation if the world can achieve decarbonization of the energy sector between now and 2050, to significantly contribute to meet international climate goals set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. Are the technology solutions capable to be scaled at this rate?
