This August 2020 report by Wood Mackenzie Limited highlights technologies needed to achieve a decarbonised future. Challenges and opportunities linked to green hydrogen, and what might need to change to make this technology a leading decarbonization strategy are discussed. The research goes on to explore the growing potential of carbon capture and storage in decarbonization strategies. In reference to zero-carbon heating, the report asks if could heat pumps could soon displace gas in homes. Finally, the report discusses offshore wind as a zero-carbon technology that continues to attract major capital.
Key words: HVAC, energy management, smart grid, large building controls/automation, carbon capture, green hydrogen, wind.
