Meeting the IMO's 2050 emissions reduction goal therefore requires that zero-carbon vessels are commercialised by 2030, just 10 years away, before expanding to become the norm.
And yet zero-carbon power, though hugely important, is insufficient, because electricity currently accounts for only 20% of global energy consumption. Broader changes to the global energy system are needed.
But earlier this week the West Coast Regional Council's submission on the government's Zero Carbon Act(ZCB) hit the headlines after it questioned climate change.
The state delivered on its 2020 climate goals by 2016 and its climate ambition is enshrined it its recently established 2045 carbon neutrality goal and zero-carbon electricity mandate.
The first reported use of photosynthetic microbes in a battery-like'bioelectrochemical system' shows that purple bacteria could turn wastewater treatment plants into zero-carbon fuel generators.
