Decarbonization of the world's 1,000 biggest CO2 emitters would achieve around a third of the emissions reduction required to reach the 1.5°C target
The cost of this would be between USD 7.5 trillion and USD 10.5 trillion, spread over 26 years
New study shows how a trend reversal in global CO2 emissions can be achieved

In 2030, 12 percent of hydrogen will be produced "green", meaning climate-neutral
Hydrogen production could increase to 240 Mt per year by 2040, the capacity of hydrogen electrolyzers required for this would be 1 TW
In the 2030s, the expansion would therefore have to be as high each year as in the entire previous decade
