Net Zero & Energy Transition
Science · Weather & Climate · conceptual
Evaluate the energy transition required to reach net zero: renewable energy scaling, electrification of transport and heat, green hydrogen; describe carbon capture and storage (CCS) and direct air capture (DAC); introduce proposed solar radiation management techniques (stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening) and their potential risks and governance challenges; critically evaluate the role of individual behaviour change versus systemic policy in reducing emissions
Check your understanding
Has Net Zero & Energy Transition heard of geoengineering? Can they describe one proposal for deliberately cooling the Earth and explain one potential risk of attempting it — and say whether they think individuals or governments bear more responsibility for tackling climate change?
