Scaling Up

The report examines the interaction between technology, investment, and policy to enable the global deployment of low-carbon technologies. It utilizes a 'wedges' framework to break down the massive scale of required emission reductions into manageable technological solutions across power, transport, heating, cooling, and industrial processes.

• Addressing climate change requires a fundamental transformation of energy production and consumption across power, transport, heating, cooling, and industrial processes.
• Achieving sufficient emissions reductions requires the alignment of three critical factors: the technologies and their deployment constraints, the sources and costs of investment, and the policies that incentivize the provision of technology and capital.
• The report employs a 'wedges' framework, developed by Princeton researchers, which divides the necessary total emission reductions into smaller, manageable portions each addressed by specific technologies.
