Decarbonisation Technologies for a Climate-Neutral Future: How to get it done
English 180
Both Europe (by 2050) and Austria (by 2040) have the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and becoming climate neutral. To achieve this, the major industrial emitters must do their homework. We want to find answers to the following questions: How can European industry, with its investments in research and technologies, achieve the Net Zero goal? How do the rising prices for CO2 certificates affect the ability to invest in research and development? How can the mammoth task of decarbonization succeed?

Will Tech Bail Us Out?
English 60
The global community may only have six years left to set actions that will limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. New technologies for carbon dioxide removal are expected to take about ten more years to become operational at a significant scale. This is a race against time. When will future tech breakthroughs be able to support an effective transformation towards net-zero? How do we align our actions and thinking today in view of these future tools?
