Report calls for urgent industry decarbonisation ramp up

Without decarbonisation intervention, industrial emissions will grow from 6.7bn tonnes of CO₂ this year to 7.6bn tonnes of CO₂/y by 2050, according to a new report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Further analysis from BNEF has also found that at least $21.4tn will need to be invested in the electricity grid by 2050 to support a net zero trajectory for the world.
