Abstract:
Those of a pessimistic persuasion could see 2050 looming just over the horizon as a doomsday clock kind of countdown, while the more romantically inclined among us might regard these numbers as a Cinderella fairytale ticking towards the midnight hour. Either way, the mid-point of the 21st century has been declared a pivotal point in world history as the date where countries, companies and individuals will either have achieved net zero emission targets or, according to the naysayers, we will all go hurtling towards the cliff and perish in a self-induced climate change apocalypse. Against this backdrop it’s fair to suggest that global energy in a time of transition has never faced as much uncertainty.
