There are many challenges that come with managing a power system, especially one with intermittent renewable energies, or those that are intrinsically time variable in… -
From SDG Academy
There are two sides to the arguments over whether the 2 degree Celsius limit is the right one to have for the planet. Leading climate scientists, particularly Professor… -

This chapter is about carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), or the capture of CO2 at large stationary points such as coal or gas fired power plants, oil refineries,… -
From SDG Academy
The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project is a collaborative effort to understand how countries can transition to a low-carbon economy by mid-century and how the world… -
From SDG Academy
This chapter discusses some of the key technological challenges that must be met to achieve deep decarbonization of the energy system. Many of these technologies already… -
