UK publishes Net Zero Technology Outlook report

The UK Government Office for Science has released the Net Zero Technology Outlook report.

• The report sets out a best estimate of the technology mix needed in key emitting sectors to reach net zero by 2050, covering 18 sub-sectors within 5 major sectors (industry; transport; heat and buildings; agriculture, land use and waste; power) and identifies the R&D needed to achieve that mix.
• The analysis drew on >20 interviews and a peer review with ~45 experts, includes input from relevant government departments, synthesises established scenario modelling, policy documents and industry sources, and sets R&D challenges for 3 cross-cutting strands: greenhouse gas removals and carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and biomass.
