- Decarbonized Fossil Energy Carriers and Their Energy Technological Competitors
- This paper focuses on stabilizing atmospheric CO2 in the range 450-550 ppmv which requires deep reductions in CO2 emissions for both electricity generation and markets that use fuels directly. Fossil fuel decarbonization/CO2 storage is an important option for reducing emissions from the power sector, but there are alternative non-carbon-based electricity...
