Technologies for net-zero energy system exist: Irena

Proven technologies for a net-zero energy system already largely exist today, finds the preview of World Energy Transitions Outlook by the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena).
Renewable power, green hydrogen and modern bioenergy will dominate the world of energy in the future, it says.
Previewed at the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue, Irena’s Outlook proposes energy transition solutions for the narrow pathway available to contain the rise of temperature to 1.5 deg C and halt irreversible global warming. 90% of all decarbonisation solutions in 2050 will involve renewable energy through direct supply of low-cost power, efficiency, renewable-powered electrification in end-use as well as green hydrogen. Carbon capture and removal technologies in combination with bioenergy will deliver the ‘last mile’ CO2 reductions towards a net-zero energy system, said a Wam news agency report.
