- Climate mitigation efforts often overlook the emissions associated with the production and consumption of products.
- The materials transition aims to evolve the current materials landscape by inducing efficiency, substituting emission-intensive materials and enhancing its circularity.
- Materials transition will increase capacity for a scalable energy transition, while extending emissions-reduction efforts deep into products and applications.
The latest IPCC report made it clear that we have reached a “now or never” moment if we are to prevent climate breakdown and meet global climate goals. This warning comes despite years of investment and ambitious policies supporting the energy transition. Since 2010, annual global investments in energy transition grew by 100% to a total of $500 billion per year, the share of electricity generated from renewables grew up to 29%, and the cumulative number…
