The Economist
Technology Quarterly: Towards Zero Carbon
Conquering CO2
The Economist, 2018
Aperçu
A new generation of renewable fuels is powering the fight to decarbonize Earth’s atmosphere.
Recommendation
With most countries doing little to counteract the effects of climate change, prospects currently look bleak for meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement demands. The December 1st, 2018 issue of The Economist offers a series of articles outlining how offending industries can realistically approach decarbonizing Earth’s atmosphere with new energy technology. Developing green fuels is expensive, but readers will learn how transitions can be instituted in stages to preserve existing infrastructure and resources. Super-light hydrogen is likely to be the heavyweight in an emerging zero-carbon world.
