Technology Pathways to Net Zero

Discover the technological innovations and deployment strategies needed to achieve national net zero emissions. From renewable energy scale-up to carbon removal technologies.

Technology as the Foundation of Net Zero

Achieving national net zero requires a portfolio of technologies deployed at unprecedented scale. No single technology can solve climate change alone - success depends on coordinated deployment across energy, transportation, industry, land use, and carbon removal sectors.

The technology pathways are interconnected and reinforcing. Electrification of transportation creates demand for renewable energy, while industrial decarbonization enables the production of clean technologies. Early deployment in one sector often creates opportunities and reduces costs in others.

Technology Deployment Principles

  • Portfolio Approach: Multiple technologies working together for resilience
  • Learning Curves: Costs decrease with scale and experience
  • System Integration: Technologies must work together effectively
  • Innovation Pipeline: Continuous development of new solutions
