  • Capgemini's WEMO report highlights the potential for the world to achieve net zero by 2050 with focused efforts.
  • Key recommendations include increasing renewable energy deployment, advancing clean technologies, and tripling global nuclear capacity.
  • Despite challenges, the report sees hydrogen and Artificial Intelligence as strategic tools for decarbonisation and energy transition.
Despite the rising greenhouse gas emissions, a recent report by Capgemini presents a hopeful outlook on the world's potential to achieve net zero by 2050. The report emphasizes the need for accelerated energy transition and highlights key focus areas. It calls for a change in measuring clean energy progress, increased investment in power grids and clean technologies, and hastening the deployment of renewable energy globally. The report stresses the importance of developing storable renewable energy sources like biomass and geothermal energy, as well as tripling global nuclear capacity for stable, low-carbon power. While acknowledging challenges such as rising costs in low-carbon hydrogen production and regulatory issues, the report sees the strategic importance of hydrogen in decarbonisation efforts. Additionally, it recognizes Artificial Intelligence as a tool to accelerate decarbonisation, but notes the need for more skills and long-term focus in its adoption. The report's insights aim to guide efforts towards achieving the Paris Agreement's objectives and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
