Fatih Birol writes in the Financial Times about reasons for climate optimism.
- While climate media can sometimes focus on the bad news, there are many reasons to be optimistic.
- The cost of clean technologies continues to fall and nuclear power generation is expected to increase in the coming year.
- Breakthroughs in battery technology are also allowing EVs to be more affordable to consumers.
“Clean energy is also benefiting from a flurry of technological innovation. After concerns that supply bottlenecks for critical minerals such as lithium could hamper the production of EV batteries, the industry responded by quickly bringing to market new battery chemistries that will reduce their dependence on key minerals. And innovation is moving fast in other emerging low-emissions technologies such as electrolysers for producing hydrogen and new processes for making green steel.”
