The impact of climate change has challenged societies around the world to focus on more sustainable, lower-carbon solutions for energy generation and storage.
Deep decarbonisation – the significant reduction or elimination of carbon dioxide from energy sources – is the only solution to climate stabilisation, according to the World Economic Forum.
However, in practice, securing a net-zero carbon future requires switching to clean and sustainable energy sources and pursuing new and improved means of generating and storing energy.
This presents immense challenges that are set to define the energy sector over the next few decades.
Overcoming these problems will involve harnessing the accumulated knowledge and collaborative efforts of many academics and industry players, while also training and engaging the brightest minds among the new generations of scientists.
