Reducing carbon emissions beyond 2040 • Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency • - circular economy/reuse/recycle: reducing demand for new materials and products: • - energy efficiency • Decarbonise power sector • – renewables (supported by energy storage, DSR, grid interconnection) • – Gas (and coal) with CCUS • Hydrogen: potential role for both green and blue hydrogen • Bioenergy: including liquid biofuels • Carbon storage and removal • – CCUS: industry and power • – Negative emission technologies (inc BECCS, air capture, land carbon) 10
