Sommario/riassunto

Sustainable Energy Pathways to Net Zero addresses a realistic pathway, between now and 2050, to reach net zero: a steady state concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It discusses solar and wind energy, hydrogen, energy storage and electric vehicles and describes how these factors fit together to reach this goal.
