Carbon removal key to meeting Paris Agreement target

Action to achieve Paris climate goals will upend oil and gas prices

15 April 2021

If the world acts decisively to limit global warming to 2°C by 2050, the scale of change will revolutionise the energy industry. Progressive electrification will squeeze the most polluting hydrocarbons out of the energy mix, nearly eliminating their markets.
