ENERGY: RAPID INNOVATION NEEDED IN CLEAN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

摘要

IT IS UNLIKELY that the world will meet its 2050 net zero carbon climate goals without a major acceleration in clean energy innovation, the International Energy Agency has warned. In a new report, the IEA outlines how the world can quickly shift towards clean energy infrastructure while analysing the "market readiness" of more than 400 clean energy technologies. With the cost of technologies like solar and offshore wind plummeting in recent years, fossil fuel plants are becoming increasingly uneconomic in comparison.
